KYOTI is a product of three minds working together to create pop music with something to say. Consisting of Ed Burgon (voice), David Mabbott (keys) and Benji Huntrods (drums), the group originally met in Newcastle before moving to London. Here they embarked on creating electronic music that spans style and mood and always has an emphasis on conveying a strong message. New release ‘Dance Like Everybody’s Watching’ saw KYOTI team up with Mercury nominated producer Shuta Shinoda. The track took a nod towards more alternative pop - upbeat and melodic the song has been described as a Disco song for introverts In 2020 KYOTI released one track every month for a year as 'project twelve'. This quickfire release schedule allowed KYOTI to exhibit tracks from across their writing spectrum - from soulful downtempo ballads to upbeat instrumental electronica. Previously the trio released the single ‘Restart The World’ in 2019 with Kitsuné Musique and Seahorse Music. This followed the success of their first EP ‘Orbit’ and follow up single ‘Avalon’ both released in 2017. KYOTI has a wild and energetic live show that ties together their songs with projections, a light show, and instrumental interludes. They are influenced by a huge range of music, from jazz artists like Snarky Puppy, contemporary singer-songwriters like John Grant, and electronic music producers such as SOHN and Bonobo. Their sound has been likened to Hot Chip, Alt-J and the Pet Shop Boys.
