Amtrac, real name Caleb Cornett, has been pushing his creative limits as a producer, DJ, musician and sometimes-vocalist since 2008. The multi-talented artist can electrify an audience, be it with a moving live music performance or by working dancefloors up to a sweat with his driving yet funk-filled DJ sets - it's his mantra to be as diverse a DJ as possible, to connect with the crowd and to keep them moving at all costs.
Raised in Morehead, Kentucky on a diet of deep cuts by Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, Caleb was lured to the dance realm by crossover acts such as The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers. Both sets of influences show on his debut LP, Came Along (2010), a 13-track adventure awash in post-punk influences and indie dance charm. From there, he branched out even further with Hey There Kiddo (2012), an all-sample opus with deep disco roots inspired by one of his favorite albums of all time, Since I Met You by The Avalanches; and The Scheme EP (2012) explores underground deep house vibes with dark, funky rhythms. Most recently he released his single "Those Days" featuring a Stevie Wonder vocal on legendary UK dance label Toolroom Records.
But as impressive as his original works may be, one can't discuss Cornett's body of work without mentioning what may well be the calling card of his career: the remix. An Amtrac remix has become a coveted commodity in today's music business - from Majors like Interscope, Warner Bros, Def Jam & Sony to tastemaker labels like Fools Gold, Kitsune, Defected, and Ministry of Sound, as well as a host of popular artists including Ellie Goulding, Alesso, Elliphant, Axwell, Ingrosso, Two Door Cinema Club, and Kaskade have all requested the Amtrac treatment, and each time he's delivered (and then some).
DURANTE
To crack Kevin Durante's code, authenticity is the key. A 23-year-old Italian-born, Florida-bred, LA-based artist forever in pursuit of realness: Everything he writes, designs, learns, cooks, explores is another footnote in his endless quest for genuineness in every aspect of his life.
His timeless, soul-spirited house music is proof. Groove constructions where every element is deeply considered, nothing is left to spare and everything has its place. Just like his father's traditional Italian cooking, which he cites as one of his biggest influences: the fullest flavours don't come from over-cooked complexities, they come from timing and attention to the most miniscule details.
