Fyre Dept.

Fyre Dept is the production team of Adam Deitch and Eric Krasno.

Their songs are now featured on two of the 2007’s biggest records: “My Gun Go Off”, found on 50 Cent’s album Curtis, and “The Nature” by Talib Kweli w/ Justin Timberlake, featured on Talib’s album Eardrum. The duo co-produced “The Nature” with Justin Timberlake, who also performs on the track. Eardrum debuted at Number 2 on the Billboard charts. These releases come in a year when the production duo has already had multiple tracks on albums by Redman (Red Gone Wild, Def Jam) and Xzibit (Full Circle, Koch).

Eric Krasno (Soulive) and Adam Deitch (drummer for Wyclef Jean, John Scofield, etc.) combine live instrumentation with modern production techniques to create a unique sound. Although Krasno and Deitch both play a variety of instruments, they have put together a crew of the best instrumentalists in New York, ranging from classical string players to horn sections. They rarely rely on samples when producing, preferring to use live musicians. As a touring band the Fyre Dept. most recently backed GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan on tour and have backed the likes of Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought, The Beatnuts, Chali 2na, Jean Grae, J-Live, Slick Rick and KRS-One.
