Utilizing impeccable sonic textures, KRANE delivers an awe-inspiring single “Nobody But You.” By elevating deep future bass tones and trap drum patterns, the Bay Area producer explores the vast depths of modern electronic music on this cinematic masterpiece. “Nobody But You” follows previous single “Monarch,” both from his forthcoming debut album out this fall on Dim Mak. Taking the album campaign’s artwork to new picturesque heights, KRANE has teamed with a slew of talented animators, including fvckrender and strangeloop to help bring together this apocalyptic narrative, framed as a “beginning of an end…”.
In KRANE’s own words:
“This song started in a hotel room in China after touring for a few weeks in Australia- I remember feeling quite far from home. Through the process of putting everything together, I was in somewhat of a nostalgic and dark frame of mind, and I wanted to leverage that mood. I really wanted to reference the kind of imagery, film, TV I have grown up loving- the likes of Ridley Scott, and dystopian anime, like Akira.”
Aligning a deep knowledge of jazz with modern hip hop and electronic soundscapes, Oakland-based KRANE transformed bedroom beats into lush compositions, forming a unique interpretation along the way. It was only a matter of time before in-demand artists such as Dillon Francis, A-Trak, Vince Staples, Bebe Rexha, Big Gigantic and Jai Wolf knocked on his door for productions and remixes. He burst onto the scene in 2015 via his single with TOKiMONSTA, “Put It Down,” also featuring Anderson .Paak. That same year he launched his highly celebrated collaborative-imprint “SESSIONS,” which allowed KRANE to collaborate on tracks alongside a community of budding beatsmiths. Since then, his sounds have been recorded onto sample packs and used heavily amongst fellow producers through the years. Coming off recent collaborations with Keys N Krates (“Right Here”) and Ekali (“Akira”), as well as last year’s Debris, KRANE continues to push his sound forward.
