Blending pop inspirations with an emphasis on electronic music, synth sounds and intricate writing, Kelsey's sonic dream is brought to life. The debut Blak Emoji EP, "INTRO" (2017) was the first of several releases with two albums, a sophomore EP and the latest album "ECLECTRO." Warren has received a variety of accolades from notable publications including Rolling Stone, Afro-Punk, Line Best Of Fit, BUST, Clash Magazine, Vampire Freaks and Tape Op. Blak Emoji songs "Velvet Ropes & Dive Bars" and "Poison To Medicine" made their way to ABC's Quantico while "Sapiosexual" appeared in several indie films. Warren was immersed in soul/R&B and pop music growing up in South Jersey. But after learning piano concertos, jazz guitar standards, drums and other instruments, Warren became addicted to hip-hop, punk, minimalist classical. He supplemented his ever-expanding musical taste with a dense love of electronic music and synth inspiration from Kraftwerk to Prince to NIN. Quarantine didn't prove to slow down Warren who spent the duration of the pandemic producing numerous artists and directing music videos. He dropped an avant-electronic instrumental Blak Emoji album called "Antidote". In 2022, Blak Emoji was signed to ECR Music Group. The first single release after joining the ECR label is "MAINSTAY," which is one of his most successful to date. This February, ECR will release a deluxe edition of "ECLECTRO" with bonus tracks.
Bringing different influences, ideas and ways of working together is one of the most exciting and satisfying way to live your life and grow as a person. I think this also goes for creating music - take Bowie, Zappa, Nina Simone, Prince, Led Zep, Little Simz, Miles Davis, Hendrix, Tina Turner. We've also seen it with many of my guests here.Kelsey Warren is a proponent of this way of living and creating. I hugely admire his curiosity, open mindedness and drive to use his immense talent and expansive influences to constantly evolve and overcome the fear of stepping out of the constraining boxes that society likes to impose and breaking new ground.Kelsey's latest project is Blak Emoji, who have just released Eclectro - and this is again something that I love - a record that breaks boundaries, genres and pigeonholes. Kelsey has quite rightly received a variety of accolades from notable publications including Rolling Stone, Clash, Afro-Punk, Line Of Best Fit, BUST, Popmuzik, Vampire Freaks and Ghost Cult Magazine.Thanks for an inspiring conversation, Kelsey!I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is a music podcast that does music interviews differently.

"With great pride Eclectro presents you with an exclusive and massive minimix by Panda, the Dutch young but courageous hope in times of Drum & Bass darkness. Previously Eclectro wrote with praise about Panda's courageous attempt to shake up the drum & bass genre with the thematic album Retake Manhattan, which according to my review on KindaMuzik.nl he managed quite well. Without doubt it is a beautiful release in terms of artwork, the included poster and the extra digital goodies, which are more than enough to satisfy the costs of only 8 euros. Go on and support your local scene, buy it at http://www.retakemanhattan.com ! My greatest point of criticism was in my eyes the long length of the album and thus Panda now takes revenge. And how! Exclusively for Eclectro he produced a 20 minute long minimix. Peter Altarbor, the man behind Panda, tells us "The mix summarizes the most important sounds that represent drum & bass for me, in the broadest sense." In short: at top speed you're completely up-to-date again on drum & bass and Panda. Massive!"
