Kaytranada
Kaytranada is one of the most underrated producers of the last five years, let alone 2015. Raised in Montreal, the DJ brings a soul of funk to all of his tracks – be it remixes or original songs.
Kaytranada was born as Louis Kevin Celestin and went on to start his music career under the alias Kaytradamus in 2010, however changed his name to the contemporary in 2012. He has released a tremendous amount of projects, but the chances are, if you ask someone on the street what they think of him, they won’t know who he is.
This year has seen a rise in his popularity, as he played Parklife this month and is expected to play many more festivals this summer, but Kaytranada still hasn’t been getting the recognition he deserves. Kaytranada, himself, puts this into a single tweet, “I won’t tour much this summer. I think my sets are getting more sad cause I’m playing all this unreleased shit and no crowd reaction”.
As a producer, he brings something different to his records. He brings a life of funk and groove to his music, which is something that we don’t see often in modern-day dance music.
