April 29, 2020 (LOS ANGELES, CA) – Welcome Records label boss and genre-defying producer, KAYZO, has linked up with multi-faceted producer/DJ, Crankdat, for highly-anticipated, hardstyle track, “The Fire,” out now and streaming everywhere via Welcome Records. The duo, who have been rinsing the track in their sets as of recent, have come together to conjure elements of hard dance and dubstep for a blistering single which combines Kayzo’s signature guitar riffs and Crankdat’s drop fake outs.

“Christian and I have been working on this song for quite some time,” said KAYZO. “It has seen many different versions and I’m glad we took the time to do it right. It’s one of my favorite songs to play out in my sets.”

ABOUT KAYZO Houston-born, Los Angeles-based electronic artist KAYZO, Hayden Capuozzo, is one of the fastest-rising producer/DJs of this decade. From his beginnings as an eager student at the Icon Collective music production school in L.A. to his official debut as the winner of Insomniac Events’ Discovery Project competition in 2012, KAYZO has graduated from budding producer to breakthrough artist in just over five years. Recognized as one of Billboard Dance’s 100 Artists of 2019 (#67), KAYZO is today a bona fide global act.

His debut album OVERLOAD was released in January 2018 on KAYZO’s own Ultra Music imprint, Welcome Records. Featuring a stimulating, cross-genre blend of rock theatrics and electronic futuristic, OVERLOAD has amassed over 21 million streams on Spotify alone.

In May 2018, he followed this up with a remix of Papa Roach’s “Last Resort”, which has amassed more than 13 million Spotify streams. Elsewhere, the dubstep monster “Wake Up,” his collaboration with RIOT, counts more than 20 million streams on Spotify, with an additional 3 million on SoundCloud. KAYZO has continued to blend the genre of rock and electronic music with releases “Fake Fake Fake” featuring XO Sad and a highly anticipated song with Underoath titled “Wasted Space.”

KAYZO’s latest album, Unleashed, was released in August 2019 to acclaim from Alternative Press, Billboard, Spin and more. His most expansive effort to date, Unleashed features alternative heavyweights such as Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low, Frank Zummo of Sum 41, Of Mice & Men and Underoath. “When I was able to sit down in the studio, talk face to face and exchange creative ideas with these bands in real time...that’s when the real magic happened”, Kayzo describes. “It was incredibly rewarding to be in the studio with these guys. I ended up learning so much.”

ABOUT CRANKDAT Gear up. It’s what fuels the Crankdat project to its very core and embodies what 23-year-old Christian Smith is inspiring others to do on a daily basis. In just a few years, the multi-faceted Ohio-based artist has amassed nearly a quarter of a billion total streams, toured 4 continents and has played hundreds of shows — more than a dozen of which reside in Las Vegas where he holds a Hakkasan Group residency. His originals and remixes dominate the festival circuit with heavy rinsing from Marshmello, DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers and many more. Beyond producing and DJing, though, Smith is a true creative. From designing his own artwork to animating and executing his own live show visuals, the Crankdat experience is coming from none other than the creator himself. He is the physical embodiment of what he preaches, having an independent mindset and self-starter mentality that encourages hard work, dedication and perseverance.
