Branchez is a modern producer, versatile, driven and open-minded. The New York City native has been making waves in both the electronic music & hip-hop communities with his soulful brand of club music.
After breaking onto the scene with his self-released tracks “Treat You Right,” and “Shake” (featured in the Skrillex BBC Essential mix), Branchez received international acclaim for his bootleg of Rihanna’s “Stay.” Supported on Diplo’s Endless Summer Playlist in NY Magazine, as well as by Carson Daly on 97.1FM in Los Angeles, the viral bootleg is a sign of Branchez’ pop sensibility. A few months later, OWSLA released a Branchez remix of What So Not’s single “High You Are.” The track, arguably as popular in dorm rooms as it is with fellow DJs and producers, shot up the Hype Machine charts and quickly grabbed the #1 spot. In addition to these crowd-pleasers and his arsenal of original material, Branchez has produced official remixes for Rockie Fresh, Stalley, Tokimonsta, Mat Zo and Wet, and produced a track for the Casey Veggies & Rockie Fresh “Fresh Veggies” mixtape.
Branchez has done guest mixes on BBC Radio1 (Diplo & Friends, Toddla T Show), TripleJ Radio and SiriusXM – Shade45 (Sway In The Morning). He supported Zeds Dead and Paper Diamond on their respective North American tours, and recently wrapped up his first co-headlining tour with Giraffage. He is also handsome, funny and cool. Expect a lot more from Branchez in 2014!
Forward thinking electronic outfit Coyote Kisses was bread in the swampy wetlands of central Florida, the musical brainchild of high school friends Joe Sussingham and Bryce Bresnan. The two discovered a keen creative synergy playing in various rock bands together before founding a live electronic band under the name Coyote Kisses, quickly gaining a local following due to their inherent musicianship and theatrical live performances.
Today, they aim to go global, and continue to push their production into uncharted territories. Interweaving sparkling melodies with stylish fanfare, it is not difficult to see why CK has captured the hearts of so many listeners. If the innovative nature of Coyote Kisses has taught us anything thus far, it is to always expect the unexpected.
After repositioning their sound, Coyote Kisses started 2015 with a series of viral originals. With multiple HypeM chart topping singles and support from the most respected dance music publications, there is no doubt that Coyote Kisses has a bright future ahead.
