Odd Soul featuring Keys N Krates and Akkai plus more TBA

Standard Time is happy to welcome back Keys N Krates and friends for another Odd Soul party!

“Odd Soul” is a global dance music party curated by the members of Keys N Krates. They hand pick artists to create a lineup that brings good music and good vibes to an inclusive group of people who want to dance and party all night long.

Known for their idiosyncratic and organic sample-driven approach to dance music, Keys N Krates continues to evolve as artists and producers. The Toronto-based trio, made up of Adam Tune, David Matisse, and Greg Dawson, began as a live act that would flip popular hip-hop and dance music tunes. The trio then decided they wanted to create their own music and found success with their breakout single Dum Dee Dum, a song that became an anthem of the subgenre of instrumental trap music. Their affinity for flipping off-kilter samples and writing fun dance floor songs didn’t stop there. They continued to evolve their style over the years, injecting more of their childhood influences into their music until finally arriving at making house music from their perspective, which is influenced by hip hop, tribal rhythms, 90’s house music, RnB, and 70’s disco and soul.

Akkai is a Toronto-based music producer, DJ, and co-founder of the local CC party series outlet. With influences coming from a wide scope of sounds and genres, Akkai’s discography includes groovy house beats, high-octane 4/4 club heaters, leftfield bass music, and many things in-between. This allows him to blend these into thoughtfully curated sets that are tailored to resonate with each single room he plays at, taking listeners on memorable eclectic sonic journeys.
