Kazantzakis, the trailblazing Greek producer, has unleashed his raw energy on FUXWITHIT once again with his latest trap opus, “LIZA”. Following his stellar track “Elevated” with Golden Child—a notable inclusion in FUXWITHIT’s Champions Of The Underground Vol. 1—Kazantzakis taps into the primal roots of trap while navigating through inventive sonic avenues.
Ghostly, pitched-down rap vocals set a haunting ambience. The first drop, characterized by its drill-inspired 808 slides and crisp percussion, provides an irresistible nod to the genre’s origins. Yet, the incorporation of an electro-house break thrusts the anthem into modernity, teasing the senses before plunging into an even more intricate second drop. Here, Kazantzakis reveals his inspiration, admitting, “I saw some IMANU tracks on my SoundCloud which became my starting point, followed by an electro-inspired breakdown… Added some Memphis rap acapella. The DNB elements in the second drop, the drum break, growls… that’s all me.”
Having solidified his reputation with formidable releases on labels like Tribal Trap and Trap Party, Kazantzakis showcases his unique blend of east-oriented melodies and robust drums. His commitment to evolution is evident.
Behind this release stands FUXWITHIT—a platform and label founded in 2014 that melds hip-hop’s spirit with an electronic pulse. Their dedication to “Champions Of The Underground” transcends a mere slogan, encapsulating their mission to push electronic music forward a step in a healthy way. With releases from artists like Dabow and LYNY under their belt since their 2021 label inception, they promise a future as influential as their past.
