Grant Kozlow Gardner, known by his moniker Kozlow, is an American music producer and classically trained violinist who’s been on a thrilling musical adventure. Based in New York City, Kozlow brings together the worlds of sophisticated musicianship and underground club culture, making an impact as both a tastemaker and party architect. His sound leans into club-focused energy, moving fluidly between deep and tech house, disco and lounge stylings, while his live violin performances inject an organic element into his lively sets.
A violinist trained at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, his career has taken him from working at the legendary Electric Lady Studios to performing in unlikely settings, such as playing violin while skiing alongside Lindsey Vonn and Hugh Jackman. His versatility has also seen him take to the stage with dance music royalty like Carl Cox, Green Velvet, Cedric Gervais and Alesso, while providing direct support as a DJ for artists including Carlita, DJ Tennis, LP Giobbi, Diplo, John Summit and SG Lewis. His production credentials stretch further still, with collaborations alongside Scott Storch, FunkFlex, King Von and Burna Boy.
Since 2020, when he began releasing original music with his creative partner David Friedlander under the moniker doux., Kozlow has continued to develop his artistic identity. Now releasing under his own name, his career has flourished into a blend of music production, performance and cultural curation brought to life via his revered NYC party series, ANTHR FCKNG PARTY, which has drawn more than 10,000 attendees this year alone.
This year marks another significant moment for Kozlow as he launches AFP’s next chapter with the debut of ANTHR FCKNG PARTY’s record label. Its first release, the brand new track “Untitled,” is a hypnotic tech house track built around a rolling bassline, shuffling beats and organic textures designed to sit comfortably in both slick lounge sets and high-octane late-night sessions. Speaking about the release, Kozlow shares, “Born from parties, ANTHR FCKNG PARTY champions the raw energy and creative freedom that define real music.”
Packed full of infectious groove and deep dance energy cut with repeated vocal samples of “hit it,” the track flows with mesmeric rhythm from start to finish. Propelled by the bounce of warm bass notes, pattering percussion and transportive crowd noise elements, “Untitled” serves up an intoxicating dance outing wrapped up in exquisite sound design.
The party series itself has grown organically since its inception, lighting up DIY spaces and iconic venues across New York City. What started as a local pop-up has blossomed into one of the city’s most talked-about cultural experiences, now expanding into a platform for underground music through the new label. Building on this momentum, AFP is set to take its energy nationwide and beyond, with events scheduled this autumn in Aspen, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal and back home in New York. With his debut label release and AFP’s continued rise, Kozlow is staking his claim as a leading figure in underground music and we can’t wait to see where his journey will take him next.
