Drums do funny things on Kaytranada tracks. The Montreal producer comes from the world of SoundCloud house remixes. He made his name on an unauthorized 2012 remix of Janet Jackson's "If," and since then, he's been touring big rooms and festivals in Europe, sharing bills with the EDM elite. But his music doesn't sound like theirs, and that's largely because his drums don't sound like theirs. In most current-day EDM, drums are in strict lockstep; it's why so many people deride that stuff as oontz-oontz music. Kaytranada's drums don't do that. They stumble all over each other, sometimes hitting just a millisecond after they feel like they should or skittering when they could thump. He likes to work with live drummers, guys who know about jazz and funk. 99.9%, Kaytranada's debut album, has collaborations with people like Kariem Riggins and BADBADNOTGOOD, artists who straddle lines between jazz and rap and futuristic bass music. And even when he's just programming drums, Kaytranada's timing feels sweaty and human -- much closer to those guys than to Disclosure, the group to whom he's most often compared. He sounds less like a SoundCloud remixer and more like a kid who grew up on J Dilla, which is also what he is.
