Polaris Podcast


Nov 8, 2016

We dive into Kaytranada's '99.9%,' the album that won the 2016 Polaris Music Prize. First, someone who was right beside Kaytranada literally banging his hands on the stage—bassist Chester Hansen of BADBADNOTGOOD. Next, CBC Music's Del Cowie shares the argument for '99.9%' that helped win over the rest of the Polaris Grand Jury. Then, juror Anupa Mistry talks to Kaytranada shortly after his Polaris victory at Red Bull Music Academy, discussing the Montreal piu piu scene where he got his start as a beatmaker.
