MSTRKRFT is a Canadian electronic music duo formed in 2005 in Toronto, consisting of Jesse F. Keeler, formerly of Death from Above 1979, and producer Al-P (Alex Puodziukas). Renowned for their energetic blend of electro house, dance-punk, and synth-heavy beats, MSTRKRFT quickly gained international recognition with their debut album “The Looks” in 2006, which featured club anthems like “Easy Love” and “Work On You.
” Their skillful remixes for artists such as Justice, Kylie Minogue, and Wolfmother further elevated their profile. Known for electrifying live performances, the duo’s gritty yet melodic approach to electronic music bridged the gap between rock audiences and dance floors. Their follow-up albums, including “Fist of God” (2009) and “Operator” (2016), showcased collaborations with artists across genres and cemented their reputation as pioneers in the electronic music scene.
As innovators from Canada’s vibrant music community, MSTRKRFT has played a seminal role in shaping the late 2000s electro and dance landscape, earning a dedicated global following.
