Kaytranada keeps his hip-hop and R&B roots alive as his electronic music profile rises with the help of sister duo VanJess.
Canadian producer Kaytranada may have seen his profile rise in the realm of electronic music recently, but that doesn’t mean he’s lost touch with his roots, which included as much hip-hop and R&B as they have house and other electronic forms. On his latest single release, “Dysfunctional,” he taps once again into that urban wellspring of sounds to connect them with the more metropolitan dance sequences that have earned him spots at some of the world’s biggest festivals, plugging the Nigerian-American R&B duo VanJess into his silky funk to create a smooth dance floor burner that will likely appeal to fans of both genres.
