Kygo has grabbed this opportunity to establish himself as a well-renowned producer and expand his fan base. The bootleg remixer, recognized for adorning with stripped down beats and luxuriating twists some of the greatest tracks in genres outside EDM, Kygo is one of the several pioneers of the ‘topical house’ craze that is speedily taking over the globe. Deep house is taking over, world and Kygo is glad it is!

I’m really excited for the future and working with the teams at Sony and Ultra in developing my music and bringing it to new audiences around the world.

The slow tempos and absent drops are a relief from the cookie cutter structure of other sub-genres of EDM to many. Kygo deserves the support he shall receive by virtue of this deal from Ultra for his upcoming tours in North America and Europe.
