R2 Records present the first full-length project from Karizma’s alter ego Kaytronik. From his earliest days as part of Baltimore’s premier crew - The Basement Boys - Kris Klayton was never one to stay in a musical box, always probing beyond the constraints of the soulful house domain. His Kaytronik persona, (previously reserved for remixes of other artists and a single on Atjazz Recordings) has allowed him greater freedom to explore beat syncopation, mood and impassioned expression further with an album that showcases his ability to work at any tempo, with a variety of styles, but always with the emotional content intact...

Kaytronik's Thee Album contains electronic explorations of down tempo emotive beats, club bangers and impossible to categorize grooves. The album contains 17 songs (1 hr, 14 min, 03 sec) and opens on the infectious 'It's Your Life'.

It's an album that's hard not to enjoy, as Kaytronik commands your attention for the LP's duration. From the stripped-back basic sound of 'Boy' to the hardcore thumping beat at the core of 'Renegade'. Along the way he ropes in '70s disco ('Now I See') and a little Soul 'Forever Grateful (for Walter & Andre)'.

This is the perfect clubber's must-own album.
