Best of 2022 Interview with The Kith

 


The Dutch DJ duo The Kith, a.k.a. two brothers named Rowan and Christian, is rapidly entering the Dance Music industry. With full passion, the two brothers work hard to take their music to the highest level. Over the past two years, the duo has found their way into their current styles: a combination of Deep House and Tech House. Their latest release 'Devine' in collaboration with Josh Vorster (released on 2Dutch) reflects this unique style very well, this track has already been supported by many labels and among others Spinnin' Records and artists such as Alok, MOTi and R3HAB.

More than 3 million streams on Spotify and support from the biggest DJs in the genre such as VIZE, EDX and MOTi, show that there is already crazy appreciation and interest in their music. In addition, the first (international) bookings for the festival season are already being made.

In 2023 the journey will continue, a number of promising releases are on the agenda in collaboration with major artists and labels. In addition the youngest brother will start his studies in Electronic Music.
