Ekali

Skrillex-signee Ekali is the type of electronic artist who can build a maximalist beat, with the necessary highs and lows, without drowning out a featured vocalist or imposing too much on the listener. The Vancouver-based producer’s two recent singles — “Babylon,” featuring rapper Denzel Curry, and “Past Life,” featuring electro-R&B duo Opia — swirl together influences and moods. Both have an emotional impact, and avoid the pitfall of becoming overly saccharine. With Medasin, Judge.
