KRad - UTLTY

Review by Miguel Centeno

UTLTY, the latest album from KRad, is an electrifying and captivating musical experience. The album showcases the artist's unique blend of electronic, hip-hop, and experimental sounds, creating a cohesive and dynamic collection of tracks.

From the opening track "Intro," KRad establishes a dark and brooding atmosphere that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of ominous synths and glitchy beats creates a sense of unease that is both unsettling and thrilling.

Tracks like "Bad Habits" and "Pressure" feature KRad's signature rap style, with fast-paced verses and clever wordplay. The beats on these tracks are infectious and will have listeners nodding their heads in no time.

Other standout tracks include "Exit Plan," a haunting and atmospheric instrumental that builds to a euphoric climax, and "The Come Up," a groovy and upbeat track that will get listeners dancing.

About KRad

K-rAd. Old geek speak for, Wow, man, thats so rad, its almost too rad. The limit of what is radical, with a huge helping of sarcasm implied. K-rAd is currently Chris Grabowski, Chicago sound engineer and electronic musician. Known for using outmoded tech toys, computer gear, and instruments for samples and inspiration, K-rAds brand of minimal sound is well-crafted, dj-friendly, and fresh (yet somehow familiar). Since conception in 1996, K-rAd has been a subtle, but respected presence in the Chicago music scene, garnering acclaim (three critics choice awards from the Chicago Reader), compilation features (Select, Tarpop, Lumptronica, The Salvo Beta Remix Project, and Illuminance Records), and commissions (Burton Snowboards, General Motors, Nike, and VH1). K-rAd has long been known as a collaborative work, with creative partners (Mark Hardy, Joe Hahn, Dan Oliver, Chris Johnson, Mike Moog, Luke Kowalczyk, Paul Kowalczyk, TC Furlong, and Elroy David Arredondo) adding unique signatures; recent releases (T12CD, OuTLeT, K1203, BS01) have seen Grabowski flying solo. From custom-making his own cables to mastering on rarefied Dunlavy speakers, Grabowskis work as a sound engineer highly influences his work as an artist. His electronics enthusiasm has led to past build projects including a custom midi controller and self-playing instruments; current build projects include an analogue modular synthesizer and a, 16-track midi and voltage control hardware sequencer. As a producer, Grabowskis work always holds the comfort and accommodation of the dj in mind, with plenty of time for smooth blends and an open quality for djs to take his tracks and make them their own. Because of his commitment to sound quality, he wont jack everything to the limits and sacrifice the dynamic range, making him unique in a time where many consider louder to be better. Admittedly, Grabowskis mission in life is to, just make the sound perfect every place I hear musicso the party can last longer, so the listeners can keep dancing with less fatigue, so the music can exist in a more authentic and beautiful way. No small task, but for a man whose sole purpose in life is sculpting air, Grabowski is indeed K-rAd.
