NYC-based violinist, producer, and promoter Kozlow unveils Pleasure Pack Vol. 1, the debut various-artists compilation from his recently launched label ANTHR FCKNG PARTY (AFP), arriving January 9. The release marks the first official document of the AFP ecosystem, translating the energy of its packed dancefloors into a cohesive musical statement.
The compilation features exclusive tracks from Mona Matsuoka, Rachel Winters, Jasa, Tolga, CHASKE, and Kristos, alongside a brand-new contribution from Kozlow himself, titled “Bark.” Each track reflects artists who have been central to AFP’s growth, all of whom are active DJs regularly shaping the sound of the city and performing at AFP events. These are not theoretical club records, but music already proven in real rooms, tested in real time on AFP dancefloors.
More than a label debut, Pleasure Pack Vol. 1 positions Kozlow firmly as a curator and tastemaker, using the compilation format to amplify the artists who form the backbone of AFP events across North America. The release also signals the next phase of the label, with AFP planning to roll out Pleasure Pack volumes on a quarterly basis as an ongoing platform to spotlight the community driving its sound forward.
To celebrate the compilation and the release of “Bark,” Kozlow will host an official launch party at Outer Heaven in New York City on January 10.
“I started the ‘Pleasure Pack‘ VA series to show what we’ve actually been building in real life, not just online. It’s about the crew. All the artists featured are working DJs who are in the rooms, playing our parties, moving dancefloors, and DJing all over the city on any given night. This is the music we’re playing and listening to right now in NYC. It’s about shared taste, trust, and tracks that have already been pressure-tested at our parties. The Pleasure Pack name and the condom artwork reflect how we think about releases. They should be functional, meant to be used, and ideally not disappointing. The series will keep popping up throughout the year as a way to spotlight the artists who feel central to where AFP is headed.” – Kozlow
