Kozlow Channels Brooklyn After-Hours Energy on New Single ‘New York Blues’

Kozlow

Kozlow signs off 2025 with ‘New York Blues’, the fourth and final release of the year on his fast-rising imprint ANTHR FCKNG PARTY, landing on 28 November. Following a strong run of early releases, the track arrives as both a personal statement and a defining moment for the label’s first year.

Since launching, ANTHR FCKNG PARTY has quickly caught the attention of key figures across the global house and techno circuit, with support coming in from names including Mau P, Stacey Pullen, Marco Faraone, Reboot, Mason Collective, Toman and Archie Hamilton. Each release has helped carve out a clear identity rooted in raw, unfiltered club music, designed for real dancefloors.

‘New York Blues’ pushes that vision further by looking inward. Where earlier releases established the label’s gritty, high-impact sound, this cut digs deeper into Kozlow’s roots and the city that shaped him. Swinging house rhythms form the backbone of the track, layered with darker, moodier textures that capture the pulse of Brooklyn nightlife.

The influence of New York is unmistakable. The track feels informed by late-night subway rides, packed backrooms and the hazy hours when the party spills into morning. There is tension and movement throughout, along with a sense of atmosphere that gives the groove weight and character beyond mere function.

ANTHR FCKNG PARTY began life as a DIY pop-up, driven by community and shared energy, and has steadily evolved into a fully fledged label without losing that original spirit. Kozlow remains, at its core, focused on spotlighting next-generation talent while keeping the underground loud, physical, and uncompromising.

As the final release of the year, ‘New York Blues’ serves as a closing chapter on ANTHR FCKNG PARTY’s breakout 2025. It captures the ethos of the label’s beginnings while pointing toward a bigger evolution ahead, both for Kozlow as an artist and for the platform he continues to build around him.
