MARZI Debuts on Modern Delivery with “Dancing & Crying”

Posted by VMan on March 25, 2025

After years of shaping hits behind the scenes, Los Angeles-based producer and DJ MARZI steps into the spotlight with “Dancing & Crying,” his latest evolution in sound, arriving March 25 via Modern Delivery, a brand new dance & electronic label. With a background in hip-hop production that earned him a GRAMMY nomination, MARZI’s evolution into dance music marks a defining new chapter in his career.

The inspiration for “Dancing & Crying” stems from a melody that had been stuck in MARZI’s head for years as a piece originally conceived in the hip-hop world that he reimagined through the lens of house music. The track’s emotive piano melodies and pulsating rhythm are influenced by an unforgettable experience at Porter Robinson’s Hard Summer performance, where MARZI witnessed the emotional connection between music and the audience. “This song has been stuck in the back of my head for years, so to finally be able to finalize it and release it to the world is very satisfying.”

MARZI has also introduced a distinctive production style that bridges his hip-hop roots with house music, crafting custom drum kits to create dynamic, live-sounding percussion fills that set his tracks apart. “Live drum fills aren’t unheard of in dance music, but I think they are underused; I really want my music to have these live elements combined with modern synths and production styles to make something new and unique.”

With “Dancing & Crying,” MARZI establishes himself as an exciting new voice in dance music, pushing the boundaries of sound and emotion. This release is just the beginning of what’s to come from both MARZI and Modern Delivery.
