Australian born Los Angeles-based artist & producer Kito today shares new single “take your vibes and go”, with vocals from acclaimed Nigerian singer/songwriter Kah-Lo, vocals from multi-lingual Nigerian artist Brazy who opens the track rapping in Mandarin, and co-production by American producer Baauer.
Speaking on the new single Kito shares “one of my favourite club records is ‘Shake It To The Ground’ by Blaqstarr and Rye Rye – the production is so minimal yet it goes so hard and it really inspired me with ‘take your vibes and go’. I think that’s a testament to how catchy this song is when you can literally throw just a kick drum under the vocal and it still goes off!”
BIMYOU — a japanese word (微)妙) literally translating to “subtle” but implying that something is “a little off” — is due out September 20th via Mad Decent. On the new EP, Kito says “I have a tendency to hold on to words and names that inspire me and BIMYOU is probably one I’ve had an infatuation with for the longest. I actually had the cover artwork designed by a friend in 2016 knowing I wanted to do a project called “BIMYOU” one day. It’s a japanese word that literally translates to “subtle” but implies that “something is a little off, and it might be better to just do without it altogether”. This EP has largely been about subtracting the stuff I felt came from a place of overthinking, and keeping the bits that felt a little “off” – in a good way. I’m really proud of this EP and am so grateful to all the artists that collaborated with me on it – couldn’t have wished for a better lineup!”.
Kito has built a stunning discography that showcases her vibrant take on left-field pop and dance music. Her credits extend to include work with Skrillex on his Grammy-nominated Quest For Fire (“Inhale Exhale” with Aluna), as well as artists such as BANKS, Fletcher, Empress Of, and Tinashe, and remixes for artists such as Sia, Kylie Minogue, Marina. Across her pair of EPs, HAANI in 2018 and Blossom in 2021, Kito collaborated with acts like ZHU, Hudson Mohawke, Jeremih, Channel Tres, VanJess, BROODS, and more. Earlier this year, Kito and Chrome Sparks formed a new electronic duo IS U IS U and released their collaborative debut Melter EP. As a DJ, Kito is known for her impeccable taste and highly curated underground event series Club Kito, whose special guests have included Tove Lo, A-Trak, Empress Of and Jimmy Edgar and has graced the stage at festivals like Electric Forest and Bonnaroo.
