Plugins & Gear used by KREAM | The Essential Vol. 1 Catalog

The Norwegian brothers, Daniel and Markus Slettebakken, are the masterminds behind the groovy House project KREAM. Early 2015, they gained a lot of exposure by uploading an unofficial remix for Tove Lo’s ‘Talking Body’ on Soundcloud. This remix gained millions of plays, even Tove Lo herself had a listen to it, resulting in an official remix a year after. This stepping stone made KREAM release their song ‘Taped Up Heart’ at Atlantic Records, peaking at place 22 within the Billboard’s Hot/Dance Electronic Songs chart. Their music has garnered more than 300 million plays to date. We recently caught up with KREAM to gain insights into their music production process. Down below is the list of essential plugins & gear used by KREAM.
