k?d’s come-up saw him breaking down genre boundaries and rebuilding them with his signature. And years later, it appears that appetite to continue paving new stylistic inroads remains alive and well. k?d’s new album, CAGE SCRIPT, marks his first long-form effort since 2020’s stunning Rebirth. The album sees the enigmatic producer combining elements of synth-pop, glitch, trap and future bass, among other influences. k?d’s opening charge in “Return To Nothingness” finds him melding a diverse fusion of genres together into one playfully uplifting song.

After taking a break from releases for nearly 11 months, k?d has picked up where he left off with a new remix of Hikaru Utada’s “One Last Kiss.” Utada’s original song, released in early 2021, was part of the singer-songwriter and producer’s eponymous Japanese-language EP, the first of his career. The titular “One Last Kiss” featured a minimalist arrangement with dainty melodies and spacey soundscapes. With ample room to run with a new vision, k?d got to work implementing a transformative new vision that is not easily replicated. Like his most recent single, “BIB” (with Steve Aoki), k?d rolls with a brisk tempo on the remix in stylistic alignment with dance music’s harder flavors. Incorporating elements of rave with bouncy breakbeat drums and frenet...
In September of last year, Steve Aoki announced his collab-driven EP 6OKI – Rave Royale. The first of six tracks from the record, “Tarantino,” featured Timmy Trumpet and an iconic guitar riff from Pulp Fiction.

If “B...
