about

“Descent feat. Jekka” voted into Top 89 Local Songs of 2015 by The Current listeners.” -MPR

"Tracks such as 'Ventilate', 'Revol feat. Augustus Watkins', 'Collapsed' & 'Burn' give the album a fiercely intelligent & almost confrontational backbone with heavy distortion, dark atmospheres & creepy samples peppering the tracks. On the other hand, tracks like 'Open', 'Descent feat. Jekka', 'Disintegrate' & 'Reconstruction' frame a core EDM sound with darker textures & overtones for great effect. KPT will certainly be one to keep an eye out for as an exciting rising name in both the dark electronica & EDM genres with cerebral releases such as this." -Intravenous Magazine on KPT ALIVE BY MACHINES.

“He's about to explode if this first single says anything. “Descent” is a pulsing dark wave of electronica with submissive vocals by the Russian vocalist Jekka floating above the bass. KPT is possibly the next big Minnesota name to let the rest of the country know what we got.” -The Current on "Descent feat. Jekka"

about

KPT Minneapolis, Minnesota

In defiance of industry saturation, Minneapolis-based KPT (pronounced “KEPT”) has established himself as one of few definitive players in dark electronic. From his first single receiving Grammy recognition to being lauded in review as “brilliant”, “fiercely intelligent” & “weirdly wonderful”, KPT is “forging an ethereal aural experience all his own”.

KPT is also 1/2 of deathpop duo DEATHDANCE.
