Known for their unique blend of hip-hop infused electronic beats, Keys N Krates have flown under the radar, but are easily one of dance music’s most unconventional juggernauts. The trio, comprised of a drummer, turntablist and synthesizer/keyboardist, has spent the last seven years bulldozing their way past the mainstream comfort zone and onto global dance floors as pioneers of shape-shifting productions.
The Toronto trio Keys N Krates are back with a brand new single “U Already Know” which appears on their upcoming Midnight Mass EP, out on DIM MAK January 15, 2016. The track is filled with their signature combo of rolling Amen breaks, hyper-glitched vocals and massive half-time drops.
With the release of their upcoming EP. Keys N Krates will also begin their Midnight Mass Tour in Burlington, Vermont, on January 19, 2016. With support from artists such as Hermitude, Stooki Sound, Ganz, and Jesse Slayter (support varies by city, check out the full tour list below!) each show is bound to be full of high energy and bumping beats. The tour will cover much of the major North American markets including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, LA, and will end March 25th with a hometown Toronto show at Danforth Music Hall.
Tickets go on sale this Friday on www.midnitemass.com!
“The Midnite Mass tour is going to be a visual extension of the EP, with everything from the lighting and staging to the supporting acts reflecting vibes and influences that exist in the EP. We want it to feel almost like a religious gathering, cause that really in essence is what rave culture is in a lot of ways.” – Keys N Krates
