Kito and Chrome Sparks, operating collectively as the innovative electronic duo IS U IS U, just unveiled their latest track ‘Lights On,’ available now under the famed Mad Decent label. Accompanying the release, the pair celebrate the upcoming arrival of their first major project, the Melter EP, set to drop on May 8th.
Succeeding their initial hit ‘All I Need,’ their new creation ‘Lights On’ shines with vivacious, dance-inducing melodies that are swiftly cementing IS U IS U as a dominant force in the electronic scene. The track captures ears from the outset with its entrancing vocal loops, creatively adjusted and interlaced throughout the tune. Harnessing their production prowess, IS U IS U command attention with vibrant piano riffs and propulsive basslines. Dazzling in its complexity and bound to be enduring, ‘Lights On’ cements the duo’s status with a mesmerizing beat and sets the stage for their eagerly awaited Melter EP.
IS U IS IS U, jointly stretching an impressive 12 feet 3 inches, are quickly becoming a giant-sized phenomenon on the global dance scene. Comprising the talents of Australian-born, Los Angeles-resident Kito, dubbed the ‘skyscraper of sound’, and the highly-acclaimed indie-electronic maestro Chrome Sparks, known as the ‘mountain of melody’, the duo brings a rich history of solo successes and diverse collaborations, sharing studio credits with luminaries like Skrillex, Flume, Khalid, Channel Tres, and Jorja Smith. Their second single ‘Lights On’ continues to elevate their profile after the Spotify metropolis playlist feature of ‘All I Need’.
At the zenith of her artistic visibility, Kito’s collaborative dynamics are setting the scene ablaze. Her joint effort with Skrillex and Aluna, ‘Inhale Exhale’, has gained renowned attention, featured on Skrillex’s freshly Grammy-nominated opus, QUEST FOR FIRE, in the Best Dance/Electronic Album category. Furthermore, igniting a trailblazing path, her association with Grimes on ‘Gold Touch’—a seminal AI-assisted track that emulates Grimes’s vocals—marks the groundbreaking entry as Grimes’s inaugural AI venture. Pioneering in her endeavors, Kito orchestrates the Club Kito LA—an event chronicle championing female creativity—which showcases esteemed artists such as Tove Lo, Empress Of, Uffie, and Blu DeTiger, and attracts celebrated attendees from diverse spheres including Kim Petras, Ashnikko, Dua Saleh, and Alligator Jesus.
Concurrently, Chrome Sparks has etched an indelible mark with prolific releases through influential labels like Kitsuné, Future Classic, and ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective. His latest collaboration with Kito solidifies his remarkable capacity for partnership within the electronic realm, having worked alongside eminent figures such as Flume, Petit Biscuit, and Machinedrum. His current initiative with Kito pays homage to his roots in the raw and vibrant underground scene, reminiscent of his early days as a purveyor of beats within the intimate circuits of house parties.
