Coachella 2023 Weekend 2 kicks off today (April 21), with Bad Bunny headlining and many more FADER favorites filling out the undercard: Gorillaz, Burna Boy, Kaytranada, Pusha T, Metro Boomin, Karol G, and others. Where last Friday’s schedule featured a short-notice set from a newly reunited Blink-182, Weekend 2 will see them taking the headlining role on Sunday, replacing Frank Ocean after he bowed out of Coachella 2023’s closing set following leg injuries he sustained on festival grounds before Weekend 1 (per his publicist).

Kaytranada made waves during his first set at Coachella 2023 today (April 14), bringing Aminé and Kali Uchis out for guest spots.Kali was first up to the mic, joining the Canadian beatmaker to perform vocals on an updated version of their 2019 collaboration ‘10%’ (which appeared on that year’s ‘Bubba’ album).

Aminé and Kaytranada have officially debuted their collaborative project Kaytraminé, joining forces with Pharrell Williams for a slinky and colourful track titled ‘4EVA’.The project was first teased earlier this week, but has been in the works for nearly a decade; the pair first linked up in 2014 after Aminé released a bootleg remix of Kaytranada’s song ‘Not At All’. The latter DJ then offered to make Aminé some of his own beats, leading to the pair collaborating on three songs for Aminé’s 2015 mixtape ‘Calling Brio’.A music video for ‘4EVA’, directed by Jack Begert, is slated to drop in the coming hours.

Kaytranada and Aminé are cooking something up called KAYTRAMINÉ. Precisely what is uncertain, but from the looks of a trailer released today (April 4), it looks to be a musical collaboration of some kind.

Kaytranada has teamed up with Anderson .Paak for a new song called ‘Twin Flame’.It comes with a slick, nineties inspired video that .Paak directed himself. The pair can be seen performing alongside one another in the video on an elevated platform, in a disused warehouse. Beneath them, people are dancing throughout the song.On Instagram, the raapper wrote of the track: “Linked back up with my brother @Kaytranada for another classic banger.

It's long overdue for KAYTRANADA to be a household name, and the influential Montreal producer got a huge boost on Tuesday with "Twin Flame," a new song featuring Anderson .Paak. Having a recent multi-Grammy winner in one's corner is usually always a plus, though it's no guarantee that it'll result in something worthwhile.

Arlo Parks has shared her cover of Kaytranada‘s ‘You’re The One’ – you can hear her rendition below.The cover has been recorded for a special edition of the Spotify Singles series which is celebrating the Best New Artist category at this year’s Grammys, which will take place on Sunday (April 3).Parks has been nominated in the category, one of two nods for the London singer/songwriter at this year’s ceremony (she’s also up for Best Alternative Music Album for her debut LP ‘Collapsed In Sunbeams’), along with the likes of Glass Animals, Baby Keem and Finneas.As well as her rendition of Kaytranada’s ‘You’re The One’ – originally a collaboration with Syd which featured on the producer’s 2016 album ‘99.9%’ – Parks has also shared a new version of her most recent single ‘Softly’.

Almost a year after the release of her enchanting debut album Overgrown, Joyce Wrice has returned with a new song. It's called "Iced Tea," and it was produced by Kaytranada, who joined up with the San Diego singer on Overgrown's "Kaytra's Interlude." The new song doesn't mess around with the formula they established too much—"Iced Tea" is a refreshing jam for anyone that's been eager to hit the dance floor.

Kaytranada has announced the release of a new three-track EP, ‘Intimidated’, a follow-up to his 2019 Grammy-winning sophomore album ‘BUBBA’.In a post to Instagram, the artist – real name Louis Celestin – shared a poster bearing the EP’s track listing (which you can find below), revealing he’s brought on board the likes of Thundercat, H.E.R. and Mach-Hommy to collaborate on the release.A post shared by @kaytranada‘Intimidated’ will be released next Friday (November 19).

FADER cover stars Kaytranada and Big Boi are headlining Major League Soccer's All-Star Concert presented by Heineken next Tuesday (August 24) at the Torch, on the doorstep of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The 21+ show is one of many fan experiences in the lead-up to this year's showpiece, which will see the MLS All-Stars face off against their counterparts from Mexico's Liga MX.

Kaytranada is announcing a new run of North American tour dates. On an unrelated note, it's easier and more crucial than ever for you to get a COVID-19 vaccination.

Mick Jenkins teamed up with producer KAYTRANADA for his latest single "Designer Frames," released late Monday night. Currently available only on SoundCloud, the rapper shared the track and hinted at the release of a new album.

At the 63rd annual Grammy Awards, which were held last night (March 14), a slew of LGBTQ artists and performers, including many women, took home awards.

If you're thirsty for new KAYTRANADA music, you'll have to head on over to TikTok, where the Montreal producer's new song "Caution" has debuted as a sound for users to blend into their videos. The full song will be uploaded to streaming platforms "later this month," and maybe it'll be a full-blown viral challenge by then.

Sade, the British band that made stone-cold classic albums from easy-listening R&B, is the focus of Kaytranada's newest edit. 1988's "Stronger Than Pride," with its airy synth sighs and gently bounding drums, is a salve in its unaltered state; Kaytranada retains that element in his edit, but with gracefully pumped-up percussion imbuing the song with runner's high-levels of ecstasy.

Late last year, KAYTRANADA dropped his sophomore record BUBBA, the cover of which features the Haitian-Canadian producer with extra pupils protruding from his irises. Today, he's revisiting that imagery in his new video for "The Worst In Me," a thumping booty call featuring vocals from Tinashe.

Kaytranada shared his deep house remix of Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia single "Don't Start Now," turning the disco-tinged pop track into a bass-heavy groove. This is far from the first of Lipa's singles to get the remix treatment, with the singer releasing the Blessed Madonna-curated remix compilation album, Club Future Nostalgia, back in August.
