When approaching genre blending, it's important to know what elements one can take into his own style and how to arrange them in a composition. Such approach is called elemental arranging, which heavily relies on compiling elements of completely different structures; of different culture; of different nature, that at first might not make sense, but giving them a proper context, a narrative lead, rhythmical and melodical structure, they start to melt into something new.
Daniel Mansour a.k.a Kayve, music teacher from Canada, greets us with his new EP Kayveman, which is a step forward in his own musical wandering. Having released tracks on Deadmau5' own imprint Mau5trap and having a great amount of experience as a music teacher, Kayve already owns enough experience to head into the unknown and further his research of the musical world.
This EP is a prime example of eclectic music done with passion. soul and a bit of transitional humour and nostalgia, approaching genre blending from a standpoint of theory and musical analysis, adding a flair of electronic sound into it. With such inspirations as blues, jazz, neurohop, lo-fi, rock and more, the concept of this EP is elemental fusion and diversity, but it is really consistent with it's sound as it weaves into a myriad of thought out transitions between core elements of each individual track, breaking a stereotype of "it's more beneficial to produce one genre for the entirety of your life."
This album shows that Culprate has evolved in his sounds. With more musicians needed in the making of this album. Hats off to everybody who's involved! doojoux
