Loudpvck is an electronic music project consisting of Kenny Beats (born Kenneth Blume III).[2] Originally a duo, the project also included Los Angeles-based DJ Ryan Marks until his departure in November 2017, citing his desire to work on other projects.[1] Loudpvck is best known for collaborating with artists such as NGHTMRE and Zeds Dead, and for remixing songs by artists such as Major Lazer and The Chainsmokers.[3]

History

Marks and Beats met at the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2009 before going on to form the duo, Loudpvck,[4] which has released original songs alongside a remix of The Chainsmokers' "Paris" in 2017.[1]

On January 13, 2017, Loudpvck released "More Than I Can Take" with Rickyxsan as a single. On February 24, 2017, they collaborated with Botnek to release the song "Traffic".[5]

On November 3, 2017, Ryan Marks announced his departure from the duo, stating he plans to "pursue other things creatively".[1] On Instagram, Marks stated "I trust in Kenny and our team implicitly to continue delivering amazing music and performances without me."[6]

Kenny Beats has seen success since the disbandment of Loudpvck as a solo act with production credits on Gucci Mane and Ski Mask the Slump God projects, among others.
