We’re in a dark nightclub.It’s so late it may well be early.The DJ slams in a CD, hits play, the beat kicks in and he proceeds to take the roof and all four walls off the place.The producer is known only by the name written in indelible ink on the CD-R.Kryder.The track is called, simply… ME.
Kryder is a production duo as sensational as they are mysterious. Still, the intrepid A&Rs from Brazil’s Maquina Records were able to track them down, only slightly perturbed by the very postmodern nature of the award-winning DJ and production team – namely, a man in a wrap-around visor and top hat… and a dwarf in a Mexican wrestling mask.The presentation may indeed give you nightmares but the music is deadly, darkly serious – a genre-bending sound that touches on house, trance and dubstep – a sound that burns up dancefloors wherever it’s played, whether by Jules, Tong or any number of serious clubland players.Created in their own studio by Kryder and his diminutive sidekick Dokta Kaotika and mixed down in Los Angeles, the music is bang on.The live show, however, is just wrong.
Kryder tracks are receiving heavy plays from a range of DJs, across genres.Judge Jules gave massive props to the track K2, making it his Tried and Tested and playing it six weeks in a row on his Radio 1 show.The Squatters remix of the same track has been playlisted on the Kissy Sell Out show on Radio 1.
Moving onto ME, the track has already been championed by Mark Knight, who played it on his globally-syndicated Toolroom radio show.It has also been playlisted on the new Capitol Radio network and gained huge support from the likes of Thomas Gold, Prok & Fitch, Pete Griffiths, Sonny Wharton and Ant Brooks.A tech house roof-raiser, ME builds slowly, with tribally-edged percussion, overlaid hypnotic female vocal hooks and a chugging, relentless beat.
