Party NYC EDM Fast Track Review Of K3vin Envoy

Among the unlikeliest developments in the decade's Commingling of mainstream pop and electronic music has been K3vin Envoy's jump from making twinkling snare to working with singers such as Ariana Grande and the Weeknd.

His beats remain grounded with a combination of overdriven machine hits and sampled rock drumming while his melodies have their heads in the clouds, though. It's a fun, surprising combo.

The material finds him coming nearer to carving his noise out.  He still

Has some kinks to work out, but complete his songs is a must spin.
