So my dude Matisse has been mad busy touring the world with Keys N Krates which is why it’s extra crispy to know he’s also been working on a new solo project. Here’s the info via 1 Love T.O.:

Toronto’s own David Matisse is a producer, musician, writer and singer. As many of you already know, he’s the “Keys” in the live remix band Keys N Krates. He just released his first remix of Ghostface’s “Kilo” as part of his new solo project called “Short Days. Long Nights”. It’s a soundtrack of beats and remixes he’s compiled, experimenting with his piano, synths and vocals.
