Kris Kross Amsterdam is a Dutch DJ and record producer trio formed by brothers Jordy and Sander Huisman and Yuki Kempees. Their music is a mix of various music styles including R&B, hip hop, funk, soul, pop and house.

The name is a deliberate nod to the famous rap duo Kris Kross from the early '90s, known for their hit single "Jump".[1][2]

Career

Kris Kross Amsterdam: a well-established, powerful, energetic trio, with hit singles and shows worldwide, once originated with two brothers back in 2011 in Amsterdam. With their name paying homage to the legendary American duo from the 90s hip hop golden age – Kris Kross, whom they are so fond of – brothers Sander Huisman and Jordy Huisman were set on creating a sound, which forged their myriad influences together in seamless fashion. The brothers decided to start hosting parties in Amsterdam, their hometown. Here they could play exactly what they were missing in the Dutch club scene: an unconventional mix of R&B, hip hop, twerk, trap and house. Jordy and Sander had their own act at first, but later on, in 2014, MC Yuki Kempees joined them and this is when it all started to kick off with Kris Kross Amsterdam. The group is known for their varied sound and music production.

2015 (June) was the year Kris Kross Amsterdam signed a deal with dance record label Spinnin’ Records and released their debut single: “Until The Morning” with MC CHOCO.[3]

in 2016 (February), KKA dropped multiple releases on the label, with extremely high impact, catching worldwide attention. Amongst those releases are: international mega hit "Sex" with American electronic music trio Cheat Codes - which samples the chorus from "Let's Talk About Sex".[4], Are You Sure? (Kris Kross Amsterdam song)- an enormous collaboration with British pop star Conor Maynard and American hip hop artist Ty Dolla $ign, and the most recent release with Conor and The Boy Next Door, “Whenever”. This track originated from Shakira’s “Whenever, Wherever”, but got dipped into their own style and turned into the ultimate 2018 summer hit. The song is good for over a solid million streams each day and received global attention from Billboard Dance Chart, Global Top 50 Chart and 29 Viral Charts on Spotify.

Next to making hit singles, the boys of Kris Kross Amsterdam do shows over the entire planet. They take their wild energy everywhere they go and never lose their Amsterdam mentality: the party is wherever Kris Kross Amsterdam is. Every show they do is an unique experience on itself. With hosting several stages and highlighted sets at Mysteryland (NL), Tomorrowland (BE), Parookaville (GE), Ultra Music Festival (US), Kris Kross Amsterdam are proving more and more that they are an extremely talented collective that showcases to become an even bigger successful act worldwide.
