MSTRKRFT

MSTRKRFT (pronounced “get better at kraft”) will be the Daft Punk-loving alter ego of Loss of life from Over 1979’s Jesse F. Keeler alongside maker Al-P. Hailing from Toronto, the duo makes a move from DFA 1979’s abrasive rock and roll to robotic digital filled with vocoders and handclaps. Furthermore to liberating two singles (“Easy Like” and “Focus on You”) and an LP in July 2006 on Last Gang Information, MSTRKRFT possess remixed several hype bands such as for example Metric, Wolfmother, the Kills, and Bloc Party. As their profile grew (and their recording was re-released by Modular) in addition they began remixing larger titles like Kylie Minogue, Usher, and John Tale, in addition to poppier performers like Annie and Jesse McCartney. For his or her second recording, 2009’s Fist of God, the duo jumped to Dim Mak/Downtown and obtained guest looks from Ghostface Killah and E-40. The recording spawned two strikes with John Tale (“Heartbreaker”) and N.O.R.E. (“Jump”). A DFA reunion would maintain Keeler busy within the years between MSTRKRFT produces, as well as the duo wouldn’t normally reappear until 2016 if they released their third work, Operator.
