Krts (Brooklyn) On The Main Ingredient 12/6!

Krts, who’s excellent Hold On EP was released on Project Mooncircle September 23rd, will join me in the studio next week to talk about the project and perform an all-new live set.

About Hold On:

Last year, Brooklyn’s Krts released Remixes for Beards and Flannels, a mix-tape of top shelf classics from hip-hop’s ‘80s and ‘90s heyday. This September, he’ll follow this with his newest and first-ever proper EP release, Hold On, on the Berlin label Project Mooncircle.

With sounds ranging from the eclectic side of Hip-Hop, Broken Beat, Downtempo, soulful Dubstep, Indie Rock, and Fusion Jazz, Krts crafts a soundtrack to an ever-changing NYC landscape, fraught with struggles and flashbacks of what-was, all while letting go of ideals in favor of a new, raw, and heartfelt future. The album’s title track, “Hold On”, concerns the battle of a fleeting love – electronic and psychedelic sounds lead to a heavy, mid-range looped chorus and a deep, rumbling dubstep-style bassline. A taste of struggle is represented in “Whatever”, with it’s 808 kicks, layered snare, eerie and rattling samples, sweeping syths, and improvised piano… all as an ode to the cluttered market of Brooklyn’s indie art scene.

Hezekiah, half of the iSHE + Hezekiah Project who recently released their excellent self-titled album (I’ve already played 5 tracks from it on the show) will come by the studio Monday night to talk about the album and share some music he’s listening to. Check them out on Facebook and find Hezekiah’s catalog on iTunes here.

About iSHE + Hezekiah Project:

iSHE + Hezekiah are an experimental soulful duo composed of singer/songwriter iSHE’ from San Diego and producer/emcee/songwriter Hezekiah from Philadelphia. Two unique artists with an unspoken understanding of music provided the perfect ingredients. A mixture of organic classic soul, a slight touch of electronic flourishes; a beautifully-composed sonic stew with a traditional hip hop edge. Timeless.
