Brad EP by Kyral & Banko, Mport

On the heels of their widely celebrated ‘Snoitch’ EP, the lively duo of Kyral x Banko make their proud return to WAKAAN with an anticipated collaborative Mport EP, ‘Brad.’ Coupling their carefree and comedic personalities with their distinct hybrid sound designs, ‘Brad’ stands as an embossed showcase of everything the three producers have come to represent. Including an intro, outro, and midway skit for added listening pleasure, the animated EP is not to be underestimated, brimming with a barrage of resounding basslines and curious samples in every track.

Although KxB already put forth their own twist on modern freeform bass music, their performances take it a step forward, bringing in live elements such as drums and original rap verses from their diversified musical upbringings. While Kyral x Banko are currently slated to perform at Field Trip Festival and Sonic Bloom this summer, Mport has special appearances planned at Denver’s very own Global Dance Festival and more.

(KxB) - “The Brad EP was born during a night in the Snoitch Lab with Mport. While working on a new collab ID, we were flipping through some vocal sample ideas and found one that said ‘You can’t have it!’ It sounded hilarious so we added it to the song and eventually had a lightbulb moment where we came up with the concept of Brad to fit the vocal sample and started by having Banko record a fake voicemail to add to the beginning of the track, and thus the Brad EP was underway… MANY, many sleepless nights in the studio later, we're incredibly proud of this concept EP & can't think of a better home for it than WAKAAN!”


(Mport) - “This EP stemmed from us working on a variety of songs and ideas over the past 3-4 years. “ID please?” being the starting point for the concept of us being hit up by a relentless fan to have us send unreleased music and give us ideas and critiques. From there we thought of other genres and situations where “Brad” would ask us to do certain things in our music. There were so many sunrises that we witnessed walking out of the studio as we did our best to heed these suggestions!”
