In defiance of genre saturation, Minneapolis-based KPT (pronounced “KEPT”) has established himself as one of the definitive players in dark electronic music. From his first single receiving Grammy recognition, to being lauded in review as “brilliant”, “fiercely intelligent” and “weirdly wonderful”, KPT is “forging an ethereal aural experience all his own”.

Focusing on the oft-overlooked live performance aspect of electronic music, KPT composes original arrangements for events, constructing his official releases using elements pulled directly from those performances. KPT is also one half of the internationally-acclaimed deathpop duo DEATHDANCE.

KPT has performed and collaborated with the likes of Die Antwoord, Justice, The Orb, En Esch (KMFDM), Blanck Mass, Alan Sparhawk of Low, Kirin J Callinan, My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult, Order of the Static Temple, Martin King of Test Dept, Mona Mur and many more.

With his first signing to David Lynch’s record label, his music has also been released on GIVE/TAKE, Cleopatra Records, Communiqué Records, Blood of the Young, Alfa Matrix and more.

Hailed as “the spiritual offspring of Nine Inch Nails,” DEATHDANCE is a collaboration between Bijou Noir's Augustus Watkins and KPT. The duo's production has grown into a richly dark, brooding "mixture of electronic and industrial power."

Often writing remotely, but joining in-person for touring, their catalog consists of three critically acclaimed EP’s. Their 2014 self-titled debut which quickly reached the upper-tier of the iTunes electronic charts and their two-part concept series, Dormir and Réveiller (Sleep and Wake, respectively).

DEATHDANCE has also released a sprawling, hour-long deeply detailed, mysterious and occasionally unsettling opus entitled The Blessing, which first premiered as a part of University of British Columbia CiTR Radio 101.9FM’s “24 Hours of Radio Art” and was previously only allowed to be broadcast by hand-selected radio and streaming outlets.

Combined, they have performed with the likes of Die Antwoord, Justice, The Orb, Blanck Mass, Alan Sparhawk of Low, Lizzo, My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult, Poliça, Kirin J Callinan, Communist Daughter and many more.

GIVE/TAKE is a boutique record label based in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, specializing in auteur-driven, experimental projects with an electronic approach.

As visionaries for sharing music as art in the digital age, we curate a repertoire deserving undivided attention.
