Int’l stars team up with Konshens and Demarco

Last week, multi-platinum-selling duo Banx & Ranx released their latest single, Balenciaga, which features Jamaican dancehall artistes Konshens and Demarco.

"Over the years we've experimented with many genres, but we've always loved playing with the balance of underground club, pop and Caribbean sounds. With Balenciaga, we're getting back to that," said Banx & Ranx in a media release. The duo disclosed that the collaboration came together organically.

"Demarco loved what we did with Sean Paul on his new album, so he reached out about collaborating with us. He loved the beats we sent over and suggested we get Konshens on the track, and, of course, we were down to bring his talent in on the song as well," the release further stated.

Since signing with Universal Music Canada earlier this year, Banx & Ranx have proven that they are two of the most prolific songwriters and producers in Canada. Over the past seven months, they've consistently dropped new music, including three consecutive Top 10 hit singles ( CTRL + ALT + DEL and Headphones with Reve, and Flowers Need Rain with Preston Pablo). They have collaborated with Cirque de Soleil as musical directors of their show MUV, and have run dozens of songwriting camps, producing, writing and collaborating with artistes from around the world.

The producers have infused their signature sound into several notable releases this year, including Shenseea's album ALPHA, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Reggae Chart, Sean Paul's album Scorcha, which landed him his 10th Billboard-charting album, and a string of hit singles with breakout Canadian artistes signed to their Montreal-based label 31 East.

Their platinum-certified single CTRL + ALT + DEL became the No. 1 most added song on Canadian radio, reached No. 8 on the Canadian Top 40 radio chart, and has accumulated over 52 million streams to date. The producers have several other collaborations due to be released this year.
