KOVEN.
Genres: Drum & Bass, Liquid
Koven are Katie Boyle and Max Rowat, a duo whose combination of live vocals and melodic drum and bass production has built them one of the most devoted followings in the genre. Boyle writes and performs the vocals herself rather than featuring guest singers, which gives their catalogue an unusual consistency of voice. They came to wider attention through Monstercat and have since released across Viper and other major genre labels, developing a sound that sits between emotional liquid and harder dancefloor material. Their records are songs first, with verses and choruses that hold up away from the drums, and that has taken them well beyond the traditional drum and bass audience. Live, the pair perform as a proper duo with Boyle out front, a rarity in a genre still dominated by DJ sets. Koven have become a regular fixture on festival lineups across the UK and Europe and one of the strongest arguments that drum and bass can be genuinely songwriterly.
KOVEN. has 3 upcoming drum & bass event(s) listed on DNBRAVE.
