Krystal Klear - XLR8R mixtape


Dâm-Funk's evil twin Krystal Klear is back. The Irish born, Manchester based producer put out a bunch of secret lil' nu-boogie releases a while back. He recently release his first EP in a while entitled We're wrong B/W From the start on the great All city label.

This mixtape was put together for XLR8R and is such a great treat mixing old school tracks with current jams without a second thought. Absolutely ace!

"Krystal Klear has no qualms about delving into the treasures of the past to find inspiration. As shown on this exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series, he's quite comfortable moving through funk, soul, boogie, New Jack Swing, electro, and late-'80s/early-'90s house. More impressively, he manages to do so while also deftly slipping in several of his own retro-inspired productions, including both sides of his recently released "We're Wrong" b/w "From the Start" single. Clearly, Krystal Klear isn't afraid of getting a little nostalgic, but here, he's managed to do so while crafting something that's deliciously funky and refreshingly carefree, not to mention a whole lot of fun."
