Ken collaborates with hitmaker Joki, known for his work with Sabrina Carpenter, Zara Larsson, XXXTENTACION, Charli XCX, and Lizzo.
Few artists have made as swift and impactful an ascent as KEN. With his latest track “Like That,” the DJ and producer born Ken Jp proves why he’s become one of the most buzzed-about names in the game.
“Like That” is a sound roller coaster that shows how good KEN is at making catchy, crowd-pleasing hits. KEN works with hitmaker Joki (who has worked with Zara Larsson and XXXTENTACION) and Bassweed to make a track that’s both fresh and familiar, bridging the gap between EDM’s past and future.
“Like That” grabs you by the ears right away and won’t let go. It sounds great, with a rhythm that will shake you to your core and synths that cut through the mix like a hot knife through butter. KEN‘s skill at balancing many layers while keeping things clear is truly amazing.
One thing that makes this song stand out is the clever way that a Kanye West and Jay-Z sample is weaved into the song. It’s a risky move that pays off, giving the EDM theme a hip-hop edge that makes the song more appealing to a wider audience.
The first line of vocals, which comes from Skinny Days, is so catchy that it will stick in your head for days.
Structurally, “Like That” is a masterclass in tension and release. Ken knows when to back off and when to go all out, which makes for a lively ebb and flow that keeps people on their toes. Track goes from being a simple hit to a complex work of electronic art because of this careful attention to rate.
It’s impossible not to compare KEN to big names in EDM, but he makes his own path here. Martin Garrix’s festival-ready drops can be heard, along with Nicky Romero’s musical sense and the raw energy of a W&W set. Still, the end result is very KEN, showing how his artistic voice is growing.
KEN’s rise feels both rapid and well-deserved. He has over 50 million hits and has been backed by big names in the business. “Like That” is more than just a great song; it’s a pledge from an artist ready to join the top of the electronic music world.
As the late summer sun sets on beaches and rooftop parties, “Like That” is poised to be the soundtrack. It’s the kind of track that’ll have sweaty crowds with their hands in the air, lost in the moment and hungry for more.
“Like That” by KEN is must-listen for EDM fans who like forward-thinking music that doesn’t shy away from crossing genre lines.
It’s not just a club hit; it’s a look into the future of dance music, made by one of the most interesting new artists on the scene.
Don’t be surprised if this song stays on top of event stages and Spotify streams for months.
