December in the very same year saw the release of his 6 track EP ‘Nocturne’ featuring vocals from Louisa Bass and co-producer and long time friend Whiney. With BBC Radio 1 airtime from the likes of Friction, B Traits and Mistajam the EP grabbed the attention of the scene and shortly after in May 2014, Keeno released his debut album ‘Life Cycle’. A stunning release containing 14 tracks demonstrated his ability to add orchestral and cinematic elements to Drum+Bass while retaining a strong dance floor impact.

Three years on from his first release, Keeno’s prowess in the world of drum & bass continued to grow to new heights with the release of his second album ‘Futurist’.

His third studio album ‘All The Shimmering Things’ is perhaps his most exquisite body of work to date. Broad and versatile, this album delivers not only Keenos signature orchestral style, but high octane slammers and dancefloor primed rollers alike. Critically acclaimed and hailed by Andy C as a’ masterpiece…superb…and a real journey’ it’s safe to say this composition is everything we have come to love about Keeno, and more.
