Returning to a collaboration that spawned the No. 1 hit single "Someone," internationally known DJ Kai Alcé's NDATL Muzik imprint and singer/songwriter Kayenne partner once more for Genesis, the pair's first full-length project.


These 11 tracks are truly distinctive, Alcé himself is known for his ability to swing from his harder Detroit house roots to the more groove-based beats that his Atlanta homebase imbibes with gusto. So that he brought a few of his Atlanta-based colleagues to the table makes Genesis even more of a delight. The keyboard stylings of Ricky Corey featured on a few production with Alce, Fellow House in the Park / Atlanta Weekndr DJ Salah Ananse kicks off the tracks with "I Must Be Dreaming," which he brings to Afro-house-infused perfection, followed by "My Call to You," a multidimensional stepper that bears the signature of Grammy-winning producer DJ Kemit. "Feel'n Some Kinda Way," produced by Stefan Ringer, brings an intimate vibe that beckons you to hold someone close on the dancefloor. Next up "Brighter Day." with Byron The Aquarius to thank for the keys on "Brighter Day." With a smoothed-out tone that reflects what it's like to wait in hope and work toward breakthrough, Kayenne takes you there by sculpting the lyrics around the harmonies as both reassurance and a call to action. "Rain Fall Down" is a chamber of release and refresh, with Chris Brann of the Ananda Project and Wamdue Project taking listeners into a world that blends the best of low-fi sounds and technical expertise behind the boards. Prepare to put "Hey Young World" on your deep house favorites list. Alcé is at his best here! "Genesis" is just as sweet in sound as it is in sentiment. The title is also the name of Kayenne's daughter, who inspired this final song & henece the name of the LP.
