Adam Tune, Greg Dawson, and David Matisse’s time in Tampa goes all the way back to the days when Blue Martini ruled International Plaza. The trio behind Keys N Krates is a livetronic pioneer of sorts and returns to the 813 this time for “Swing Sundays” at the rooftop lounge above Tampa’s Armature Works.

The night is dedicated to Kaytranada-esque soul, jazz and funk, but don’t be surprised if the Toronto band flips the format on its head after a support set from Tampa scene staple DJ Ku, whose busy weekend includes a play-what-he-feels set at Alter Ego, the Lit R&B day party, and an eclectic four-hour turn closing Crafty Squirrel in St. Pete.

Reservations are recommended when Keys N Krates plays M. Bird in Tampa on Sunday, May 25.
