LISTEN: MARZI Debuts on Modern Delivery with “Dancing & Crying”

After years of shaping hits behind the scenes, Los Angeles-based producer and DJ MARZI is stepping into his own as a solo artist with “Dancing & Crying,” a striking new track that fuses his hip-hop roots with a forward-thinking approach to house music. Out now via Modern Delivery, a fresh dance & electronic imprint, the single marks a major milestone in MARZI’s evolution as a producer and artist.

“Dancing & Crying” is a melody that MARZI had been sitting on for years, originally conceived in a hip-hop context but ultimately reimagined through the lens of house music. The result is a deeply emotive and sonically rich production, driven by melancholic piano melodies, pulsating basslines, and an atmosphere that captures the bittersweet intersection of euphoria and introspection.

Best known for his work with artists like 6lack, Swae Lee, Nav, and Travis Scott, MARZI’s background in hip-hop production has already earned him a GRAMMY nomination. But despite his success in the rap world, he found himself wanting more. “I started this project because I was fed up with working with artists strictly for their projects; I got tired of putting my future in other peoples’ hands and putting my dreams on hold,” he explains. “I ended up growing out of the rap scene that I grew up in, and my taste started evolving into something new.”

MARZI’s proving that his musical instincts extend far beyond hip-hop, and as part of Modern Delivery’s launch, he’s setting the stage for a wave of innovative electronic releases to come. If “Dancing & Crying” is any indication, MARZI’s solo journey is one worth watching.
