South London’s genre-blurring producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist KDYN releases his most ambitious project to date, the emotionally rich and sonically expansive EP ‘Finding Promise In New Frontiers & Wonders’ via EMI.
Built over several years, the six-track EP is a time capsule of personal and creative growth. Fusing lush live instrumentation with gospel-infused synthwork, soul grooves, UKG energy, and chopped vocal samples, KDYN delivers a deeply textural and future-facing sound. The EP was entirely self-written, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered in his fully built-out home studio.
“This EP sits somewhere between the electronic world and live musicianship - it’s textured, soulful, and built on real instruments, but with the energy and precision of electronic production,” KDYN explains. “It’s my first real attempt at fusing pop with funk, soul, gospel - all while keeping the creative direction sharp and artist-led. Most of these tracks were made two, even three years ago - but I knew they needed the right moment to be heard. This feels like just the beginning.”
His latest single “Feel This Way”, blends gospel chords with funk-driven bass and cinematic house production, capturing KDYN’s emotive storytelling and genre-spanning artistry. Previous single “Feel The Same” also made waves, landing no.3 on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Dance and receiving playlist support from Capital Dance, BBC Radio 1’s Rave-Up with Arielle Free, and BBC Introducing. The EP’s focus track, “I Just Want U,” is a bold, groove-led anthem rooted in soulful vocal samples and raw emotion, showcasing KDYN’s ability to straddle the intimate and the anthemic.
A true DIY force, KDYN runs his own label, Origins Inconclusive, while also earning early accolades from industry powerhouses. This year has seen him featured by DJ AG x Defected LIVE, championed by BBC Radio 1’s Jaguar, Sian Eleri, Jess Iszatt, and Abbie McCarthy, and named Rebecca Judd’s Ascending Artist on Apple Music 1.
Rooted in a musical upbringing steeped in UK garage, gospel, and soul, KDYN’s sound draws influence from Kaytranada, Cleo Sol, SAULT, Little Simz, James Blake, Jai Paul, and early Mura Masa. Fans of Fred again.., Tom Misch, Barry Can’t Swim, and House Gospel Choir will also find a natural resonance.
With Finding Promise In New Frontiers & Wonders, KDYN closes a formative chapter shaped by breakthroughs, experimentation, and self-belief. Now he steps boldly into a new era. It’s not just a reflection of where he’s been, but a confident signal of where he’s headed next.
