Kaytranada is a Canadian DJ with a comprehensive history of producing funk + R&B-infused tracks. His breakout album titled 99.9% (released in 2016) garnered substantial recognition for fusing house / R&B / funk aesthetics...
Kaytranada's 2019 project titled 'Bubba' garnered two Grammy's (including best dance/electronic album), and he began touring with the Weeknd for the After Hours + Til Dawn tour.
His performance at the show mixed several house-influenced dance hits with trippy visuals. On stage, Kaytranada was on a platform elevated above the main stage. An electronic music set is all about vibes, & Kaytranada didn't disappoint on this front, getting many across the stadium to get up and dance to house-inspired hits. In quite the contrast to Mike Dean's performance (which was more ambient/abstract), Kaytranada provided consistent dance hits for the concertgoers. The visuals behind Kaytranada we're varied with analog / glitch layers coupled with psychedelic color schemes.
Loved this set. Can't wait to see more from Kaytranada.

Windowshopping is me fucking around on Ableton in my bedroom hoping to cultivate a large and expansive enough discography to warrant people writing dozen paragraph-long essays in RateYourMusic comment sections.
