kleptones

Hello there.

We're The Kleptones. We've been twisting, shaping and crafting fine sounds for over 20 years now. You may know us from such fine albums as "A Night At The Hip-Hopera", "Yoshimi Battles The Hip-Hop Robots", "From Detroit To JA", "24 Hours", "Uptime-Downtime", "Shits & Giggles", "OV-ER-LO-AD" or "Shirts & Gurgles", or maybe our collection of Hectic City mixtapes, or more recently, our radio show series "The In-Tray" and mixtape series "The Golden Hour". Or maybe some of our collaborative videos, live shows or DJ sets. Or maybe something else entirely, there's a lot of stuff!

We've decided to set up an account here to allow people who prefer not to use other artist-support platforms (like Patreon or Bandcamp) to donate to our cause. Support from donations has helped us to complete all of our recent projects, including "OV-ER-LO-AD", "Shirts & Gurgles", and being able to commission 20th Anniversary remasters of our older albums.

Now we're making demos for our next album, and along the way we're making new episodes of "The In-Tray" and "The Golden Hour" and maybe even a few new Hectic City mixes too!

All of the above, as with everything else we've put together over the last 20+ years will be given away for free, but unfortunately it's harder than ever to pay the bills whilst giving things away for free. The nature of the beast, if you like. But we want to continue making these things, and we reckon you want us to keep making them too, so we are asking for your support. The more we get, the more we can do, and the faster we can do it, obviously. Your support here will help more things appear faster, giving you a huge glow of satisfaction from being one of the people that helped it all happen. And a bitchen' soundtrack to boot.

In return for your support you'll get super-early pre-release access to everything we make, cheeky bonus tracks, outtakes, demos and work-in-progress updates for our next big projects. Everything that the supporters on that other platform get, in other words!

Thanks for reading. Your support would be really very much appreciated.

Much love,

The Kleptones.
