Kaytranada Samples
Montreal, QC, Canada -- Active 2010-present -- Born Louis Kevin Celestin
Kaytranada is a Haitian-Canadian DJ and producer who blends house, funk, R&B, and hip-hop into a distinctive club-oriented sound. He samples extensively from 70s and 80s soul records, processing them through a dance music lens.
Kaytranada chops 70s and 80s soul samples into dance-floor-friendly loops, adds four-on-the-floor kick patterns, and layers with deep bass. His approach bridges the J Dilla school and house music.
