‘Zanzara’ is the second single release of KAIOS on STMPD RCRDS, following the duo’s official hit remix of ‘Fire’. Wanting to create a dark, fast-paced and highly emotional melodic techno track that would be perfect for festivals and big crowds, ‘Zanzara’ marks the return of KAIOS to their roots of true melodic techno with a powerful drum beat and highly emotive breakdowns. Written in Mexico in March 2021, the duo was greatly inspired by the work of artists such as Stephan Bodzin and Tale of Us, but also epic film scores such as Chariots of Fire.
KAIOS is a collaboration between London-based artists Andreas Metaxa and Fabio Lendrum. KAIOS was named by BBC Radio 1 and Pete Tong as a Future Star of 2021 and the duo celebrated the year by completing official remixes for the likes of Martin Garrix, Elderbrook, Diplo and Damian Lazarus.
