Musical career

Raven & Kreyn first caught the public's attention with their 2015 bounce anthem "Rave It".[22] After the track charted as 19th in the Beatport Top 100[22] it didn't take long until the EDM industry discovered their sound. Taking a step in the Bass House scene, they released "Long Game" and "Rock Now"[23][4][5] the following year, two tracks that pushed the duo's imprint forward, and gathered a surprising amount of support from the [electronic dance music scene.[24][25][26]

In 2016, Raven & Kreyn released their first track on Don Diablo's Hexagon label, a collaboration with Steff Da Campo called "Chicago".[27][28] The duo's aggressive sound that made the success of Rock Now quickly resonated in DJ sets all around the world, continuing to build the hype around the french act.[28][29]

Although, 2017 has seen the duo grow very quickly with multiple releases on Hexagon, Armada Music, and NoCopyrightSounds. Tracks such as So Happy, In The Air, Call Me Again had made the duo popular on YouTube, Spotify, and SoundCloud. The release of Nobody Else, a collaboration with french producer RetroVision took place the same year. It was heard all around the globe, and gathered an enormous number of supports from music industry leaders.[30] Featuring vocal samples from Loleatta Holloway's Love Sensation, the track is a crossover between old-school breakdowns and Future House. It became Raven & Kreyn most industry-supported track up to this day,[30][31] and one of the most DJ-played tracks of 2017.[30]

The duo ended 2017 with an official remix of Galantis & Throttle song Tell Me You Love Me.[1][32]

The French DJs released Bubble, Biscuit and Muffin on NoCopyrightSounds a few months later, three songs that confirmed their new futuristic approach of House music. Apart from the YouTube and SoundCloud community, the duo had imposed itself with numerous Spinnin Records releases.[26][18]
