Keys N Krates Drop New “Beat Tape For Your Friends”

Recommended Posts

Keys N Krates dropped their debut album just over a year ago, and yet it feels like forever since we’ve heard from the Toronto three-piece ensemble. following a Live In Toronto album at the end of the year, they’re back now with a 24-minute, 11-track mixtape called A Beat Tape for Your Friends.

Whereas last year’s Cura found them navigating the intersection between hip-hop and dance, this release channels back to their hip-hop roots.

“The project is all instrumental and pays homage to the beat tapes we love like Jay Dilla’s “Donuts” which has helped shape how we approach music in general. This is our take on that idea, made from our perspective. It’s a good-vibe playlist you can put on with your friends to enjoy the summer and get outdoors after a long winter.”

The release arrives ahead of Keys N Krates playing a string of festival dates around the United States and Canada this summer, including Denver’s Global Dance Festival and Nashville’s Deep Tropics. All tickets are available  here.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
