KRANE presents his sophomore LP, Getting Better. The 7-track work follows the vanguard producer on a pursuit of ambitious new sounds, showcasing polished collaborations with Boombox Cartel, Nate Merchant, Malika, B. Lewis, Cece Valor and the Panama-assisted “Who Loved You Better.”

Getting Better is a follow up to KRANE’s acclaimed 2017 debut release Fallout and sees the artist continue to create stunning dream-like productions that both move and soothe. The album’s provocative singles, such as Boombox Cartel collaboration “All Again,” slow-burner “Tell My Why,” and retro-influenced “Body Heat,” have already seen DJ support from the likes of Steve Aoki, Diplo, Don Diablo, ILLENIUM, NGHTMRE & SLANDER and Alison Wonderland.

“This past year has given me the opportunity to channel a new sound and try to express the emotional challenges into a style that my audience hasn’t heard from me before,” KRANE explains. “It’s moody, lyrically driven and introspective.”

Pushing his sound beyond the future bass soundscapes he is known for, KRANE teamed up with Sydney’s Panama to create the stunning focus single “Who Loved You Better.” Panama’s vocals swoon across tranquil pianos, glimmering synths and a shuffling garage-inspired beat, ultimately representative of KRANE’s evolution as sound designer. Speaking about the inspiration behind “Who Loved You Better,” KRANE states:

“I’ve always loved UK-style garage music, specifically the groove of the drums and percussion. I wanted to write something beautiful and moody to match these. Panama’s style captivated me immediately for his singing. His voice and tone match that of the song, conveying the longing for and losing of love.”

About KRANE:
Recognized by Billboard as “a true artist through and through,” (Billboard Dance’s Ones to Watch: April 2018) KRANE is one of the world’s most inspiring electronic music producers. Born Zachary Krane, the Bay Area-native’s jazz and classical music upbringing paired with his modern perspective has fostered a unique blend of lush sound design. KRANE’s innate talent has bred an expansive discography that includes collaborations with TOKiMONSTA + Anderson .Paak (“Put It Down”), Ekali, Alexander Lewis and Keys N Krates, as well as official remixes for ZHU + Tame Impala (“My Life”), Louis The Child, Christian Rich, and Alison Wonderland. He’s released two seminal bodies of work, Debris (2016, Fool’s Gold) a collection of B-Sides from recording sessions with J. Cole, Kehlani, Bryson Tiller and others, and his 2017 debut album Fallout (Dim Mak). An advocate for aspiring producers, and a champion of the open source era, KRANE developed an incubator allowing aspiring artists to collaborate on records through his SESSIONS platform. Through SESSIONS, producers send KRANE their ideas and unfinished project files, and from there, KRANE both advises and collaborates with the aspiring artists to finish the songs, which are then officially released via KRANE’s popular SESSIONS compilations and streaming profiles. KRANE’s captivating original production sample packs are some of the most sought out in the industry on the music platform Splice. Noted by The Wall Street Journal, his most popular item on Splice is “a percussive sound producer KRANE created by hitting a piece of bamboo on a table top, which sounds similar to a snare drum… It has turned up in top 40 hits including in Dua Lipa’s ‘New Rules.'” KRANE has mastered cross-genre collaborations and uses his live shows, including appearances at Coachella, Ultra, and HARD Summer, to transform his emotive sound design into a sensational atmosphere. Always looking forward, KRANE will continue to push boundaries with innovative sounds and multifaceted projects that will further solidify his status as a true artist and creator in the electronic music space.
