Toronto-based artists Slater Manzo and Red Farrow team up as a duo under IIKINGS – an artistic project that can best be described as an experimental dance phenomenon, drawing from various realms of electronic music to create emotion through contrast. IIKINGS’ new single, “Blue,” is meant to get lost in. Take your break up, your bad day, your grey weather and get nasty with an impromptu drum & bass dance party like it’s 1990s in the UK underground.
The duo brings a sound that resonates with listeners and push the edge of the EDM genre, creating emotion through contrast. IIKINGS embody the pair’s personal journeys as queer producers and shared passion for electronic music in everything that they make. After several separate successes, IIKINGS’ musical collaborations took on personalities of their own and they quickly realized that this type of dark magic laid outside the style of either of their own individual projects. Thus IIKINGS was born.
