KCPK tap STS for 'Who Wants It'
RnB/Hip Hop | Thursday 18th February 2016 | Christina
French electronic trio KCPK bring us more blazing production in the shape of 'Who Wants It', featuring Philly rapper STS.
Taken from their remix EP of the same name, out on 26th February on [PIAS], 'Who Wants It' combines powerful guitars, cold synths, punchy drum patterns, and expertly layered vocal samples, all topped off with rapid bars from STS. The rapper explained that “as soon as I heard the beat I knew the record was special, it had that energy that makes a rapper wanna rap.” It's a track that's caught the eye of the fashion world as well, having been chosen as the backing for Louis De Caunes’ video for Yves Saint Laurent’s unique ‘Black Opium’ digital campaign.
KCPK have been making their mark on the French electronic circuit over the past few years as incubators of the Rémoise scene, with the likes of Yuksek, Brodinsky and The Shoes. The band have worked with the likes of Woodkid, The Chemical Brothers and Two Door Cinema Club, and are frequent collaborators with PANIK, a night which has hosted the likes of Groove Armada, Laurent Garnier and Amon Tobin.
