Kaytranada has become one of the premier artists that crosses over between DJ/EDM culture and the hip-hop world. He provides beats for the likes of Vic Mensa, but also DJs to huge crowds in clubs all over the world. Here's 10 essential tracks to listen to. Kaytranada, real name Louis Kevin Celestin, was born in 1992 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After relocating to Montreal, Quebec as a toddler, Kaytranada began DJing at age 14. His brother introduced him to producing software at the age of 15, putting him on a slow-burning path to success. The young producer/DJ actually began under the name Kaytradamus in 2010, releasing a total of 8 projects under that moniker. Since then, he's changed his name, released a few more projects, and most recently, become a massive name and trend-setter due to his remixes of artists like TLC, Disclosure, Janet Jackson and many more. His style comes from a love of R&B and an infatuation with J Dilla's production techniques. A quick listen to this man's incredible remixes will reveal J Dilla's paw prints all over them, and the delayed, boom-bap approach has really found a niche in popular culture as he continues to play festivals and sold-out shows all over the world. The following is a list of essential Kaytranada joints. You'll find an effortless blend of R&B, soul, hip-hop, and electronica in each track, so sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy. A breakdown of how Kaytranada crafts his beats. Is there any sound quite as distinctive as a Kaytranada track? Whether it’s his solo work or one of his many collaborations, most listeners of electronic music could pick a Kaytranada tune within moments of hearing it. In a glorious genre mish-mash of R’n’B, house, hip-hop, soul, and much more, this Canadian producer makes beats that have made the world want to move endlessly. So what’s the musical thinking and production techniques and choices that make up his iconic sound? We dove into a production analysis of the phenomenal opening track of Kaytranada’s album “99.9%” with Liveschool trainer Thomas McAlister – the aptly named, “Track Uno”. Thomas makes music through his duo, Alba , as well as more heavy hitting club music through his solo project, Cop Envy . He’s also worked as a long time touring engineer for Canyons (Modular Records). While you’re reading, have a listen back to the iconic Kaytranada track in question, to get a sense for what we’re actually on about. The Use of Samples and Structure. With some vinyl fuzz, the sparking of a lighter, and some self-recorded thumps driving across your left and right speakers, a synth spins through space before the primary sample of the track opens up the album, 99.9%. And when it comes to chopping up a sample, Kaytranada definitely has it down pat. “The main motif/hook of the track is based largely around a pretty complex chop of a sample from the intro of Delegation’s ‘I Figure I’m Out of Your Life’,” says Thomas. Like a lot of sample-based tracks, the OG is old school (1982), relatively unknown – leaving you thinking, “How did they even find this?”, and in true Kaytranada style, it’s brimming with funk. You can check out the original for a slightly disorientating listen to where Kaytranada took his inspiration for Track Uno. And it’s not majorly distorted to where it’s unrecognisable. Apart from the slight increase in tempo, Kaytranada pretty much uses the sample note for note. It’s only when we get to the first breakdown, that things start getting a bit whack. “The chopped sample loop remains largely the same from when it is first introduced, to right before the first breakdown, where more articulation is added by pitch shifting the sample every fourth repetition of the looped phrase. The sample has also had sidechain compression applied to it (triggered by the kick drum) practically throughout the track, which gives it extra bounce and helps the added kick drum and sharp claps cut through,” Thomas says. “Towards the end of the track, the sample takes a background role, fading to silence and leaving only the Kaytra-added parts, which are no longer following the samples lead as closely. Then one minute later, we have a complete switch up, with a new bassline, new drum track, and a new feel entirely – this could almost be a completely different track.” Sound Selection and Design. On top of this funky sample, Kaytranada has added tonnes of his own flavourful additions, to bring the sample out of the 80’s and into the present. Kaytranadas’ percussion additions are probably one of the most distinctive things about his music – they’re sharp, energy filled, and have a tonne of swing. The percussion additions include a kick, hi-hats, clap and snare, and a shaker. “The kick drum sound is a classic of sample-based hip-hop; in that it’s short, punchy and muted.

  • Like Musical Theatre and Scripted Television, Jazz and Hip-Hop Are Uniquely, Undeniably North American Art Forms
    Like musical theatre and scripted television, jazz and hip-hop are uniquely, undeniably North American art forms. Though the latter genre was born out of funk and disco in the late 1970s, many of its landmark artists embody the ethos of jazz: loose, visceral, instinctive. Some hip-hop acts--A Tribe Called Quest, or more recently Kendrick Lamar--have successfully repurposed jazz, but the older genre has seldom made successful inroads into new generations of rap fans. And that's what makes BADBADNOTGOOD, the four-piece, Toronto-bred jazz outfit that has melded jazz and instrumental hip-hop into something elusive, something altogether their own, so unique. On their latest full-length effort, IV (due out via Innovative Leisure on July 8th), BBNG decide to expand their universe, which was already one of the most compelling, labyrinthine worlds in pop music today. Saxophonist Leland Whitty, a long-time collaborator, joins Chester Hansen, Matthew Tavares, and Alexander Sowinski on a full-time basis; for the first time, guest vocalists are welcomed into the fold. Some artists find collaboration stressful and cluttering, but BBNG simply seems freer to chase down creative rabbit holes than ever before. The effect is apparent immediately. See "Lavender," a collaboration with the Montreal-based producer Kaytranada, which pairs delicate, skittering production with a punishing low end. Or take the virtuosic closer, which underscores superb performances by Whitty and Tavares with a grand swell of strings. On "Hyssop of Love," upstart Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins moves languidly, stretching out taunts ("I heard your plug was drrrrry") before he snaps upright ("Never needed no dollars to prove worth").

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Goldlink 2015 Deck
    GOLDLINK 2015 DECK V.5 BIOGRAPHY Where the intersections of the DMV collide, GoldLink is a direct product. The first time 21-year-old GoldLink picked up a mic was only three years ago in his hometown and he has no intentions of putting it down. The emcee is piloting the “Future Bounce” genre, accruing over one million plays on his Soundcloud and capturing the attention of an entire industry with this first project, The God Complex, which released in late spring of 2014. GoldLink’s sound is densely weighted with shimmering polyrhythmic sounds, constructed with formidable producers like Kaytranada, Lakim and Louie Lastic. His sound milks nostalgic cuts of 90s hip-hop and R&B and the area’s natural go-go heritage with transcending circadian drops of EDM and Afro-Caribbean drum patterns. GoldLink’s raps are calculated, tackling them with a roller-coaster delivery, with a distinct voice and unmeasurable cadence. With his unyielding charm, Goldlink tackles his own battles of social and cultural injustice, pursuing a relatable voice of romantic instability. Without relying on talent alone, GoldLink has studied rap’s hierarchy, building his biting flow that’s quicker than a sales- man and fouler than a sailor. Citing Edgar Allan Poe, Grimes, and Pink Floyd as his main influences, GoldLink’s subject matter highlights dealing cocaine, gun-toting friends, an absent father, and the general hardship of growing up in the ghetto. With only one full project (The God Complex) under his belt, he has still been able to receive the support of outlets like FADER, Complex, Noisey, Shade 45 and VSCO––which documented GoldLink’s meeting with Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin at his Malibu-based Shangri La studio.

Included is an examination of literature and creative work focused on the Golden Age of Hip-Hop that explores early sampling processes and techniques. Through original compositions and an exegesis, the study provides unique and significant contributions to the field including the identification of four approaches to the design and construction of sample-based composition and associated techniques for achieving them using contemporary music technologies. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop is presented as a historical period of musical significance, not only for defining new genres and sub genres of music, but because of the influencing factors that emerging technologies had on new compositional processes and outcomes.
