Los Angeles, CA — Heavyweight disruptor Kayzo returns with another massive hard dance release, teaming up with iconic hard techno force Manji on “FKN LOUDER,” set to drop Friday, April 17 on his own Welcome Records.
“Manji and I linked up to bring heavy distortion and non stop energy to this. Kick building was key to this song and we wanted to take you everywhere with it
- Kayzo
A blistering fusion of hardcore and techno, “FKN LOUDER” is driven by distorted plucks, punishing kicks, and precision-driven production. The track is anchored by Manji’s fierce, anthem-ready vocals, cutting through a relentless blend of hardstyle screeches, heavy leads, and rawstyle-driven drops.
Widely recognized as one of the defining voices in the hard techno and hardstyle space, Manji has contributed to some of the genre’s most impactful releases, including collaborations with leading acts like Holy Priest. The collaboration captures both artists at full force merging Kayzo’s genre blurring intensity with Manji’s commanding presence, resulting in a high-impact anthem poised to shake dance floors worldwide.
“We stopped trying to fit in and ended up creating something new.”
- Manji
The release follows Kayzo’s recent announcement of his debut Mixmag LAB in New York City, set to take place this summer at Webster Hall—a milestone moment in his return to hard dance. The show will feature his “Presents The Cage” concept, underscoring a full transition into the genre. This shift has redefined his global positioning, marked by headline appearances with major promoters like Teletech and recent performances alongside leading acts including Holy Priest, further cementing his place among the artists driving hard dance forward worldwide.

ABOUT KAYZO
Houston-born and globally recognized, Kayzo has built a reputation on a high-intensity, genre-blurring sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional dance music. Now leaning firmly into techno and hard dance, he continues to define a distinct lane built on relentless energy, faster tempos, and constant evolution. Out of Los Angeles, he gravitates back to his roots of the higher BPM’s that have long been part of his story, channeling that spirit from underground spaces to some of the world’s biggest stages. Now he’s set to take that sound worldwide.
ABOUT MANJI
Don’t believe in boxes. Music isn’t about fitting into a genre, it’s about creating a sound that stands on its own. Make what you feel, break the rules, and don’t let “genre phobia” decide what’s possible. Manji is about freedom – the freedom to go hard, get weird, and keep people guessing. For me it’s not about following the system, it’s about bending it until it snaps.
