As if we don’t rave enough about these cats, but on December 5th Keys N Krates have a huge show in their hometown of Toronto at Wrong Bar. Be sure to catch this live remix show because if you haven’t yet, then you are seriously behind. Nick Catchdubs from Brooklyn, New York will also be in the house mixing it up on the 1’s and 2’s as well.
Keys N Krates Feat. Nick Catchdubs (Fool’s Gold) & Le Pants Optional Friday Dec. 5th, 2008 Wrong Bar - 1279 Queen St. W (Toronto) Doors 10pm Cover $15 before 12am. Should be a huge show. Come out and show some love and support.
Check out this video interview that we did with DJ JR.Flo from Keys N Krates.
On November 6th and 7th, Keys N Krates played to a packed house in Vancouver and then in Victoria. For those of you that have been reading the blog for a minute now, you know we’ve been talking about Keys N Krates quite a bit. For those that aren’t in the know, Keys N Krates are a live remix band, yeah thats right a LIVE REMIX BAND, live drums with Tune, live synths with Matisse and Jr. Flo on the turntables breaking down the samples. In the midst of their busy touring schedule we were able to catch up with one of the members, DJ Jr. Flo, for a quick one on one interview.
And yes that is a car alarm in the beginning, a testament to how dedicated I am to go to dodgy areas to get interviews for you all. Wellllll, technically this was across the street from my place, and the area isn’t that dodgy. But yeah sorry about the car alarm in the beginning.
Awww shit. There’s a new Keys N Krates video, this comes by way of the Livestock Block Party, which if you happened to miss you should be ashamed of yourself and yes I’m looking a few of you specifically! Anyways the party was hype with DJ Pump and DJ Hedspin doing their thing and then Keys n Krates killing it live for everyone on the block and the next few blocks over for that matter. The clip features some Lionel Ritchie, Janet, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, James Brown. On the turntables is DJ Jr-Flo, keyboards is Matisse and on the drums is Adam Tune. Check out the video and then cruise on over to the photos found here. In one of the pictures you can see the drummer Adam Tune playing the drums with no shoes.
One of Canada’s greatest new exports, Keys N Krates will be blessing their hometown of Toronto this Saturday June 21st at Wrongbar (1279 Queen St W. Doors @ 10pm, $10 cover). This is the first time they’ve been back home for a minute and considering what’s stirring at the moment, it could also be the last time they are back for some time. With a bunch of dope new material in addition to the joints that have already got them buzzing in the Americas, you definitely don’t wanna miss this show if you’re in the GTA. (Big ups to my man Brock on the dope flyer).
Those of ya’ll that missed out the first Keys N Krates show here a few months ago have surely heard from those who attended how great a show it was. Well they’re back and now is your chance to get up on it.
Everyone that saw them last time is attending again and I’d imagine they’ll be rolling deeper with those they’ve recomended it to this time around. I would suggest getting there relatively early to avoid disappointment - you can bet it’ll be busy
AJK the music snob highly approves and very much recommends…haha.
