Keys N Krates, comprised of Adam Tune, David Matisse, and Greg Dawson, initially gained recognition for their live performances reimagining popular hip-hop and dance tracks before transitioning to creating their own music. Their signature style blends layered drum breaks, world music influences, and dusty samples, shaping the unique Keys N Krates sound. The trio's breakout single "Dum Dee Dum" in 2013 solidified their presence in the electronic trap subgenre, leading to a diverse musical evolution incorporating elements of pop, boom bap, disco, and house music, culminating in the R&B-infused debut album Cura in 2018 and the pop-leaning Original Classic in 2021.

In 2023, Keys N Krates released their third studio album IN:TENSION, a dance-focused tribute to iconic acts like Masters at Work and Armand Van Helden. Collaborating with notable artists such as Ciara, Dana Williams, Taite Imogen, Lion Babe, and Aaron Carl, the album received acclaim from industry heavyweights like Honey Dijon, Pete Tong, Diplo, and more. The band's upcoming releases in 2024/25, including original tracks and remixes on Nervous Records and Mele's Club Bad label, promise a continuation of their innovative and genre-defying approach to house music, setting them apart with their distinct "outsiders" perspective.
