A signature sound: it's the bullseye that every artist strives to grasp within their career and something that Montreal's @Kaytranada has managed to achieve already, aged 20. Swirling together neo soul, hip-hop and elements of trap into the same audio mixing bowl has produced some pretty delicious results for the Haiti-born beatsmith, especially on his refixes of Janet Jackson and Jill Scott. For this Touching Bass, Kaytra slipped together some of his fave tracks before we nattered on about bad barbers, Boondocks and condiments.
