Q&A and 6AM Guest Mix: Chris Kalaylee
Chris Kalaylee is a hometown hero in New York City, and has been busy honing sound in the studio over the past few years. Having already shared the DJ booth with some of the greatest talent in electronic music we invited him to provide this week’s 6AM guest mix!
Chris is now ready to bring his own music to the masses. Released on leading US imprint Uprise Music, “Problem” a powerful statement of intent, and a striking debut, now available on Beatport here.
Chugging along on a 4/4 beat, the sinister looped synths and chunky bass notes combine with a heavily pitched-down vocal to create a dark, brooding atmosphere, juxtaposed by an optimistic spoken word vocal before building to a break of truly epic proportions. One for the basements, ‘Problems’ is a cut above the usual house fare, and marks Kalaylee as one to watch for the future.
