KONG’s ‘Fall To Pieces’—A Deep House Revolution

From his humble beginnings as a DJ throwing down tracks at house parties and small bars in Waterloo, to commanding the decks at the Ever After Music Festival, KONG (formerly known as Kid Kong and before that, Krizlo) has evolved his sound in ways that would make even Darwin scratch his head in bemusement. Now based out of Toronto, KONG has shifted gears from bass-heavy beats to a polished deep house vibe with his latest single, Fall To Pieces, released on October 4th, 2024. This is an aural expedition into the depths of what modern house music can be when you throw a little soul, and a lot of stutter – into the mix.

A Genesis in the DJ Booth

The tale of KONG is as layered as his sounds. Starting in the spirited nightlife of Waterloo, our hero honed his craft among the beer spills and bass drops of college bars, mastering the art of making people move – a skill that many claim but few truly possess. His journey from Krizlo to Kid Kong, and finally to KONG, is less about shedding identities and more about an evolution towards musical enlightenment – or at least, towards killer dance tracks.

Influences: The Gods of EDM

Ask KONG about his musical influences, and you’ll get a list that reads like a who’s who of EDM royalty: Skrillex, Diplo, Zeds Dead. These titans of turntables might have lit the path, but KONG is not one to simply walk in someone else’s footsteps unless he’s remixing their tracks. His sound – once a barrage of dubstep thunder – now ventures into more nuanced territories, with echoes of Fred Again and John Summit pulsating through his latest work.

Stutter House: Stumbling into Greatness

Fall To Pieces it’s a manifesto of stutter house, a style that plays with vocal chops and jerky beats until they cry uncle. KONG crafted it in his home studio, a place where magic and caffeine often blend until the early hours of the morning. Inspired by a vocal line that begged for a backdrop of hiccups, the track is a testament to the beauty of broken rhythms.

KONG’s latest offering is falling into the deep house category, and it dives in headfirst and swims against the current. Fall To Pieces captures the essence of KONG’s journey through the electronic music landscape – ever evolving, ever intriguing. As he continues to play with genres and break the moulds, one thing remains clear: KONG is a musical alchemist turning the dance floor into gold, one beat at a time.

For fans and house music turned alike, KONG’s Fall To Pieces is a must-have and go-to listen, an experience, a moment where you can truly say you felt the ground shift beneath your feet. As KONG continues to redefine his style and challenge our expectations, we can only wonder what transformative sounds will come next. But for now, we have Fall To Pieces. And it’s a piece that fits perfectly in the ever-changing puzzle that is contemporary music.
