Ky William is next on Jackfruit with ‘The Gift’

Share

Put on your finest dancing shoes and brace yourselves, ravers!

Ky William is back with a double whammy, ‘Funkay / The Gift,’ dropping October 17th via none other than TSHA’s bombshell label, Jackfruit. With two tracks designed to wreak havoc on dancefloors, these are the kind of tunes you’d find rattling the walls of any gritty warehouse or after-hours haven.

Brooklyn’s own Ky William, the mastermind behind Andhera Records, is no stranger to the decks. Carving his niche with a sound rooted in the hip-hop vibes of his native scene, he’s unleashed bangers on labels like Knee Deep In Sound and Solid Grooves.

With over a million streams and Beatport Top 10 hits, Ky’s tracks are certified floor-filler material. And now, he’s locked arms with the rising US maverick Nate Katz for a collab that’s about to turn heads and move feet.

Let’s break it down.

Title track ‘Funkay’ is a heady mix of pounding drums and slick bars that drop like a stone through treacle. Grinding chords and prickly percussion drive the groove, layered with neon pads and retro stabs.

Flip it over for our premiere and you’ve got ‘The Gift’ featuring Nate Katz, a beast of a track that dances into deeper house territory. Wiggling acid lines rise through scattered toms, all tied together with cosmic pads. This one’s a hypnotic mind-melter, full-bodied and perfect for those East Berlin sweatboxes.

Ky William says, “The ‘Funkay’ EP feels like one of the first times I’ve fully captured my sound. Each track has its own place in my sets, and whether it’s at the start, middle, or end of the night, they have both been special moments on the dancefloor.”

You can almost feel the sweat dripping from the walls.

So, what are you waiting for?

Get ready to wiggle those hips, grab a copy of ‘Funkay / The Gift’ on Beatport, and let Ky William guide you through a night of reckless dancing.
