Boston-based artist Ryan Borbone, better known as “K1N” (kay-one-en), is making a thunderous entrance into the bass music scene with his debut WORLD DOMINATION EP.
Out now via Big Night Records, the boutique label spun out of nightlife behemoth Big Night Entertainment Group, the project features six tracks. K1N goes scorched-earth with the production, distilling 15 years of growth and experimentation into a tightly packed arsenal of rave weaponry. Borbone’s path through aliases, genres, and late-night sessions has led to something that sounds not just ready - but inevitable.
The opening track, “TRY AGAIN,” fires the starting shot with acid stabs, hype-charged vocals, and three relentless drops - a sonic biography of everything that brought K1N to life. From there, he wastes no time reinforcing his vision - the previously released “GREED” made waves on Brownies & Lemonade’s Fresh Batch Friday, quickly gaining traction and earning support from curators across the board. “2FAST” followed - a percussion-heavy weapon that lit up repost networks, Discord channels, and rhythm games.
“ROCK” hits next - a dubstep missile with zero filler and maximum aggression. “HOT” draws from techno and hardcore influences, keeping dancers on edge. Then “YOU AND I” arrives - a melodic, emotionally driven closer that still hits but lets you breathe, just for a moment.
But this isn’t just about one EP. It’s about momentum. Ray Volpe—a member of the EDM.com Class of 2022—premiered an unreleased K1N collaboration during his recent set at EDC Las Vegas that’s already catching eyes and ears online. Meanwhile, K1N’s fanbase continues to swell: Discord communities follow every move, notable DJs are rinsing his records, and curators keep surfacing his tracks across playlists, games, and repost networks.
K1N isn’t chasing clout - he’s building legacy. When the dust settles, WORLD DOMINATION has the feel of a producer hellbent on taking that legacy by storm. And this is only the beginning.
