Montreal producer Kaytranada has been one of my favourite new discoveries of the last year or so via his remixes and his sliver of original tracks. He’s signed to release on XL Recordings and the first taster from the EP, So Bad is this rolling R&B track featuring Shay Lia on the vocals.
With grooves like this, he won’t get his titular wish.
Looking forward to seeing this guy at Electric Picnic in a few weeks.
