  • Опубликовано: 19 сен 2017
  • Kaytranada-the Haitian-born, Quebec-raised DJ and producer-started out messing with music on the family computer in his basement. Using production software, and posting his music online, Kaytra's use of technology helped him bring his unique sound into the real world. Years later the high school dropout's music can be heard on dance floors around the globe.

    I saw Kaytranada way back in 2014.
    By far one of the dopest shows ever honestly.
    His album 99.9% IS WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME.

    “If you feel like you’re doing your thang, don’t let nobody talk down on you. If you feel driven in your heart & you really love what you do, go for it! Deep down in your heart, you know what you want. You gotta be able to take risks in life. DO OR DIE. What else will you be? Do what you love.” - Paraphrasing Kartranada 💛

    Discovered his work a couple months ago, a big leap out of my normal listening, I simply can not get enough. 99.9% is some of the best work I’ve ever heard. What an album, what a dude, what a fucking genius

AND then, ending the project with "Holy Hole Inna Donut" FUCK! That track gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. I'm glad there's a growing base for Kaytra, Man's a musical force.
