ESCAPADE LIVE RMX

We promised rehearsal footage and rehearsal footage is what you will get. This Escapade remix is something that we are working on and you will hear us doing this live in our next string of shows. There's a lot of reasons we choose to flip the samples we flip, but in this case it started with the fact that Matisse and I are both huge Janet Jackson fans. At one time we both wanted to marry her, and we think she is super underrated and not praised enough. Matisse also pointed out to me that Djs don't play enough Janet in clubs, which I totally agree with. And no one ever talks about her first album,, the self titled one where she's emerging from the pool. You might be thinking, she's kinda weird. Yes I agree. Her interlude rants on the Damita Joe album about her love for the ocean and all that shit made me scratch my head in confusion, but she could be the most consistent Jackson,, yah I said it. This live remix is done with me on the turntables and Matisse on the Keys, giving Adam Tune a chance to rest his arms, so it's just the two of us making all that noise. Again it's rehearsal footage so it's raw,, we just stuck a mic in the room and hit record. We will eventually will record this properly, but for now enjoy the rawness.

THE BEST SHIT EVER

Maaaan.  For a while when we were first talking about putting up a blog, there were so many youtube videos that I was like "yah that's the greatest shit ever, and that's gonna be my first post on our blog... I had it narrowed down to like 3 or 4... but then last week when I was out in L.A. with the Eh Team ,, Dj Pump and KnK's publicist and mascot Aleem showed me this in the hotel room,, and I think it pretty much trumps everything else I was gonna post.  For some this maybe in an oldie.  For those of you who are going to watch this for the first time,,, it's gonna change your life.  There's so many amazing things about this I don't even know where to start.

GREEEEETINGS

Hello. This is the official Keys N Krates blog ,, where we will be posting all kinds of randomness. Pictures, rehearsal audio, music we think is hot, videos we like, clothes we think are fresh, and any art in general that we are feeling. Occasionally there maybe some rants, some crying and slobbering,, it could get a little messy. Oh it's gonna be messy.
