Karenn
Karenn is a collaboration between electronic dance music artists Blawan and Pariah, which uses only analogue hardware to perform and create tracks. It was formed in 2011 after the two artists met through DJing at events and releasing records on the same label, R&S Records. They set up their own label to release their music called Works The Long Nights. After a break of five years, Karenn reunited in 2019 to release the ''Kind Of Green'' EP on their new label Voam. Their debut album was written in Berlin during the European summer of 2019 and released the following November. It is called ''Grapefruit Regret'' and has eight tracks.

Electronic Music Groups
A musical ensemble, also known as a music group or musical group, is a group of people who perform instrumental and/or vocal music, with the ensemble typically known by a distinct name. Some music ensembles consist solely of instrumentalists, such as the jazz quartet or the orchestra. Other music ensembles consist solely of singers, such as choirs and doo wop groups. In both popular music and classical music, there are ensembles in which both instrumentalists and singers perform, such as the rock band or the Baroque chamber group for basso continuo (harpsichord and cello) and one or more singers. In classical music, trios or quartets either blend the sounds of musical instrument families (such as piano, strings, and wind instruments) or group together instruments from the same instrument family, such as string ensembles (e.g., string quartet) or wind ensembles (e.g., wind quintet). Some ensembles blend the sounds of a variety of instrument families, such as the orch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
