Kingdom Drops Exterra VOL 1. EP

LA-based artist and seminal producer, Kingdom, has dropped his EP entitled EXTERRA Vol. 1, via his label Fade to Mind.EXTERRA Vol.1is the first of two EP’s that Kingdom will release on his acclaimed label this year. His usually clean, off-kilter R&B production is translated into a more danceable, strong, feminine sound making for an exciting collection of upbeat club-ready tracks featuring MikeQ, Ms. Boogie and Tiara Thomas to play out the last stretch of summer.

Kingdom has built substantial influence with both his discography and the output from his Fade to Mind imprint. He first began to make a name for himself in New York City via a series of mixtapes and club nights; eschewing traditional genre limitations while adeptly combining elements of underground club music with currents of rap and R&B, developing his own potent strain of dance music. After creating several soundtracks for fashion label Hood By Air and releasing critically acclaimed EPs on Fool’s Gold and Night Slugs, Kingdom moved to Los Angeles to join close allies Total Freedom, Nguzunguzu, and Prince Will where he founded Fade to Mind as both a label and studio, fostering a growing group of experimental musicians and songwriters and cementing the label’s cult following. In 2013 he garnered heavy attention for executive producing Kelela’s debut CUT 4 ME while also laying the beat for its breakout single “Bank Head”. His debut album Tears in the Club was released in February 2017 and features collaborations with SZA, Syd (THE INTERNET) and Shacar. He has toured extensively across North and South America, Asia, and Europe, and has been featured in The Fader, Dazed and Confused, Pitchfork, Artforum and much more.
