KEYS N KRATES – IN:TENSION
Release date: November 10, 2023
Keys N Krates’ third full-length studio album IN:TENSION is a succinct body of work that sees the Toronto-based outfit blending their lifelong influences and versatile production chops into a passion project chock-full of talent. IN:TENSION features guest contributions from R&B superstar Ciara, songstress Lion Babe, alongside rising singers Taite Imogen, Dana Williams, and the late, great singer Aaron Carl.
Channeling their innate love of pure, timeless house music, Keys N Krates pivot from the sound that once took them to the biggest stages in EDM to a more refined, precise, and intentional effort. On IN:TENSION, they dig deeper than ever before into their own personal tastes—citing influences from sampling master Armand Van Helden and house music legends Masters At Work— a sound that speaks to why they fell in love with dance music decades ago. They do this all without sacrificing their signature crisp rhythms and wall-shaking low-end that their fans have adored since their original hip-hop origins.
A new milestone for the esteemed Toronto trio, IN:TENSION encapsulates the true definition of their style in a way that feels both effortless and deliberate. Keys N Krates has shown that their new house-driven direction fits them to a T. It’s a perfect union between their deep-rooted love for the genre and their established hip-hop/R&B exploits.
