Classically trained violinist turned underground tastemaker, Kozlow has built a career that defies convention—from performing alongside Carl Cox at Burning Man, to shredding violin runs while skiing with Lindsey Vonn and Hugh Jackman, to working inside Electric Lady Studios. His boundary-pushing vision now takes another leap as his cult-favorite series ANTHR FCKNG PARTY (AFP) evolves into a full-fledged record label, launching today with its first official release, “Untitled.”
Launched in New York with a no-phones, no-lineup ethos, AFP has quickly become one of the city’s most talked-about underground experiences. More than 10,000 people passed through its doors in 2025, drawn to its mix of spontaneity, anonymity, and raw community energy that has attracted both major artists and devoted insiders.
Now, that ethos finds new form in sound. “Untitled” is a stripped-back tech-house cut carried by a rolling bassline, punchy kicks, and organic textures, built around the hypnotic vocal riff “hit it.” The track captures the DNA of AFP: equal parts late-night warehouse grit and sleek lounge cool.
“Born from parties, ANTHR FCKNG PARTY champions the raw energy and creative freedom that define real music. Our debut release, ‘Untitled,’ is a hypnotic tech-house cooler that blends modern sensibility with a driving authenticity. It’s a reflection that honors the basics of House, and it serves as an ode to an era of raw, classic sounds in the dance scene. The core of dance music is community and authenticity, and our goal is to spotlight impactful artists and experiences,“
AFP’s journey from secret party to cultural platform has been organic. Kozlow adds:
“Since its inception, AFP has been held at iconic venues and DIY locations across NYC. The party grew organically, stemming from a real desire to have fun. Great DJs in great spaces – AFP is where music and energy come to life. That’s the ethos of this thing. We didn’t start out intending to run a monthly pop-up party and record label, but along the way, we discovered that we’d accidentally made something special – something that continues to resonate with our guests. To us, AFP has become a bastion of culture through experience, and we’re looking now to create a platform for underground music to thrive. Ultimately, AFP seeks to bring light to the underground: to prop up the next generation of artists and dance music while always keeping the fundamentals of whatever it is that makes a really good fckng party.“
Upcoming AFP events will continue to push boundaries, with fall stops in Aspen, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, and New York City.
