Born in beautiful Firenze, Italy, and raised on the beaches of Florida, Italian-American producer Kevin Durante combines old worlds and new on his fantastic debut album ‘Enter’, coming 5th of April on Anjunadeep.
Drawn to the mysticism of the dancefloor, Durante takes inspiration from the grand masters of house and techno. He traverses the two, with subtle progressions and spellbinding groove at the heart of his sound. His versatility has seen him become a real “producer’s producer”, collaborating with acts like Diplo and Amtrac, remixing for Odesza and RÜFÜS DU SOL, and counting Bonobo and Skrillex amongst his fans.
Kevin first appeared on Anjunadeep four years ago, with a beautiful remix of Jerro’s ‘Tunnel Vision’, and followed with a pair of striking EPs in collaboration with good friend HANA. Late last year Durante teased his debut album with the release of ‘Remedy’, featuring vocals from Running Touch, a standout from the Anjunadeep 14 compilation.
Now Durante welcomes you into his world with his debut album, ‘Enter’...
“I’ve spent the past three years working on this album, it marks the beginning of many great endeavours in my life. It’s a coming of age story, but it’s also a reflection on 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
Enter the Portal... 🌀
Across 13 compelling tracks, Durante explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance and love. Inspired by the concept of portals and multiple dimensions, ‘Enter’ showcases an eclectic array of influences that has developed from Kevin’s diverse musical upbringing, from Duke Ellington, to classic Italo-disco and early Cocoon records.
The album features collaborations with Canadian star CRi, acclaimed alternative songwriter SOHN, Australia’s Running Touch, indie vocalist Nathan Nicholson and lastly US songstress and producer HANA.
"We're delighted to welcome Durante into the fold and release his magnificent debut album on Anjunadeep. He's such a skilled producer, capable of creating the kind of deep, hypnotic dancefloor moments that we're all about, as well as beautiful vocal singles. He also has a very impressive shirt collection which was really the clincher."- James Grant
