Electronic tastemakers Kito and Chrome Sparks have unveiled their new collaborative project IS U IS U with their debut single ‘All I Need’ out now via Mad Decent.
At a combined height of 12’ 3”, IS U IS U is the new DJ duo poised to tower over dance floors worldwide. IS U IS U is made up of Kito, the skyscraper of sound, and Chrome Sparks, the mountain of melody, who have a robust catalog of solo releases and collaborations across many genres with artists such as Skrillex, Flume, Khalid, Channel Tres, and Jorja Smith.
For their debut effort, Kito and Chrome Sparks have beautifully blended the inklings of their indie inclinations with the danceable rhythms and bright motifs of their electronic roots. Instantly intoxicating, ‘All I Need’ shimmers with bouncy basslines, shiny synth stabs and fluttering guitar accents. An all-absorbing listening experience, ‘All I Need’ flaunts Kito and Chrome Sparks’ affinity for textured soundscapes through a euphoric medley of glazy sampled vocals, lush tones and mesmerizing melodies. ‘All I Need’ is the first glimpse into the sonic wonderland Kito and Chrome Sparks will create as IS U IS U this Spring.
