Kaytranada & Pinkpantheress on Their Upcoming Collab, Sampling and More | Musicians on Musicians

PinkPantheress is talking about the time she produced a beat for a friend and tried to make it “as Kaytranada-inspired as possible.” It’s a sweet story, especially since the person she’s telling it to is Kaytranada himself.

“I want to hear it, I want to see how it turned out,” he responds.

PinkPantheress quickly shuts down the idea: “It’s fucking terrible.” Then they both break into laughter.

The two artists teamed up for the first time recently for a new track, due in November. This collaboration is fitting, given they are both known for spinning a panoply of influences into forward-thinking dance music. Kaytranada, 30, has already earned two Grammys (for Best Dance Recording and Best Dance/Electronic Album) and spent the summer opening on the Weeknd’s stadium tour, while PinkPantheress, 21, just last year released her excellent debut mixtape, To Hell With It, which piled up house and drum-and-bass samples while charting an emerging generational sensibility.
