With there being a continuous influx of new music, it seems that there are always artists putting the latest spin on some of our favorite classics that we return to time and time again. Tampa bass producer, Keaton Huff, who is better known to most as KPUFF, has done just this, putting an experimental bass spin on a classic M.I.A. track. Focusing on keeping the integrity of the original track while adding in some heavy hitting bass elements, his latest flip of “Paper Planes”, that we have the pleasure of premiering for you today, is not one you should be sleeping on. With its driving bass lines and varieties of tempo, each drop holds a new and exciting sound that creates an absolutely infectious energy from start to finish. We got the privilege of hearing this one live last week, and boy we can’t wait to hear this one being rinsed out all over in the near future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling KPUFF’s “Paper Planes” flip, a certified bop. 

“Have always loved the original track by M.I.A. and have been wanting to flip this for a while now. Had a lot of fun making it and hyped for people to hear it.” -KPUFF

Diving Deep w/ KPUFF

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

I never knew what i wanted to do growing up and then started playing some shows and realized i finally have an answer when people ask what i want to do for a living.

2. What has been one of the most memorable career achievements so far as an artist and how did that impact you moving forward?

Being able to open for some of my favorite artists or getting to play something I made for a room full of people is great feeling.

3. What would you tell your younger self today knowing where you’re at now and what it took to get there?

I would say to stick with music/not be in a rush and just keep the end goal in mind.
