Shlømo, one of France’s most in-demand techno exports, and Zorza, the hyper techno faerie that is reinventing uptempo dance music, are teaming up for “I WANNA FEEL.” This new single is as dreamy as it is hard-hitting, making it a perfect addition to the ever-evolving HARD Recs catalog.

Both of these adept artists have proven themselves masters of the high-flying kick. Even at their preferred higher tempos, when the pulse has far less time to resonate, they always synthesize a slamming low-end drum that digs right into the soul. On their debut collaboration, Shlømo and Zorza double down on this skill, creating a four-to-the-floor drive that not only supports the beautiful, swirling melodies but emphasizes them. It’s as if each element—from the thumping kick to the ghostly, pitched-up vocals to the electrified layers—is bound together by a unified spirit while each phrase is separated by intricate instrumental breaks constructed of pure sound design bliss.
Shlømo shares his appreciation for working alongside the Canadian sensation to create the resulting new single, saying “I loved doing this collab track with Zorza, since she’s one of my favorite artists since I discovered her. This release is very interesting from both our perspectives in music!”
Shedding light on how the collaboration came to fruition, Zorza explains: “Since we first met, Shaun [Shlømo] and I have always found common interest in our musical inspirations. The more we worked together, the more we realized just how similar our musical taste was, which led us to the idea of collaborating on a track. ‘I WANNA FEEL’ was made one afternoon in Shaun’s studio earlier this year. We went into the session with no expectations, just the idea that we wanted to make something new and different, combining our styles and shared inspirations. We spent the first couple hours showing each other songs we love and from there, the track came together so naturally.”
This will be the first release of 2025 for both collaborators, who are coming off an equally exciting 2024. Zorza released her ‘Hyperdream’ EP, played Boiler Room at Teletech Festival, and spent September through January bouncing around Europe, South America, the UK, and North America on her ‘EVERYTHING YOU NEED’ TOUR. On the other hand, Shlømo had a series of impressive collaborations with the likes of Sara Landry and Vortek’s, in addition to playing the debut Verknipt France, and donned the cover of Mixmag Germany’s special ‘ADE’ edition.
Now, they are joining forces to launch 2025 at the top of their game. As they allow the intoxicating highs of “I WANNA FEEL” to start coursing the underground’s veins, Shlømo and Zorza ensure this will be another huge year for the hard dance wunderkinder.
Shlømo and Zorza’s new single “I WANNA FEEL” is available on all platforms via HARD Recs.
