Durante collaborates with Canadian artist CRi for third album single ‘LMK’
LA-based DJ and producer Durante collaborates with Canadian artist CRi for the next single from his upcoming album ‘Enter’ on Anjunadeep.
Hailing from a small Italian village outside of Florence, Durante (aka Kevin Durante) began his musical journey in 2006. Drawn to the sweet spots where house and techno genres intersect, Durante’s versatile sound has seen him release with Anjunadeep, Armada, W&O Street Records, and Amtrac’s imprint Openers. Esteemed artists including Bonobo, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and Joris Voorn have praised Durante’s work, and he has collaborated with the likes of Diplo & Aluna on ‘Forget About Me’ and Amtrac on ‘Gather,’ as well as remixing Cassian, Booka Shade, TWO LANES and more.
Now, 18 years after starting his musical journey, Durante finally shares his debut album, ‘Enter,’ on Anjunadeep. Inspired by the concept of portals and multiple dimensions, ‘Enter’ showcases his eclectic sound that has developed from Kevin’s diverse pool of musical influences, featuring Duke Ellington, classic Italo-disco, and early Cocoon records.
“I’ve spent the past three years working on this album; it marks the beginning of many great endeavors in my life. It’s a coming-of-age story, but it’s also a reflection of the world around us. I’m happy to be able to share my emotions through music because the words escape me. Hopefully, you can find solace in the sound. Open your eyes, enter the portal to the sixth dimension.” - Durante
Across 13 compelling tracks, Durante explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and love. The album features collaborations with Montréal-based producer and live act CRi, American vocalist Nathan Nicholson, Australian singer-songwriter Running Touch, Californian songstress and producer HANA, and London-based vocalist SOHN.
On ‘LMK,’ Durante joins forces with Canadian producer and live act CRi. The duo seamlessly blends meticulously crafted synths with CRi’s warm vocals, creating an uplifting electronica feature on the album. Hailing from Montreal, CRi recently released his second album, ‘Miracles,’ on Anjunadeep, receiving support from Sian Eleri on BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM Chill. Durante debuted ‘LMK’ during his sunset DJ set filmed at Joshua Tree, California—watch the full video here.
Durante kicked off his album tour in January in the USA, playing in cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle, as well as at the Anjunadeep label showcase event at the esteemed London venue, the Roundhouse.
‘LMK' is out now on Anjunadeep.
