Kelman Duran and FRANKIE come together in a rare and electrifying collaboration that merges experimental electronics with deeply expressive instrumentation and voice. Debuting at Berlin Atonal 2024, their live performance stunned audiences with its emotive intensity and genre-defying aesthetic—unfolding like a fever dream of fragmented rhythms, eerie ambiance, and cinematic catharsis.

Their forthcoming album, set for release in 2025, expands on this language—where raw cello meets spectral vocals, and weightless melodies are carved into deep, broken beats. Drawing from their distinct practices, the duo crafts a soundscape that is simultaneously brutal and tender, anchored in emotional storytelling and sonic innovation.

Kelman Duran

Kelman Duran is a Dominican-born, Los Angeles-based producer, composer, and visual artist whose work defies easy classification. Fusing reggaeton, ambient, drill, and industrial textures, his music carries a potent political and emotional charge. Beyond his acclaimed solo releases, Duran has contributed to major projects including Beyoncé’s Renaissance (tracks: I’m That Girl, Heated), and composed the score for the 2022 Cannes-selected film Rodeo. His sound design is immersive, atmospheric, and cinematic—interrogating space, diaspora, memory, and violence.
