New single, Haters, launches Jax Panik's new group K/DZ

K/DZ (pronounced "Kidz") is a pop and dance music production collective lead by hit-maker Jax Panik. Having recently relocated to London, where he now lives and works as a music producer and songwriter, Panik has created a new network of like-minded creative musicians working under the moniker K/DZ.
New single, Haters, launches Jax Panik's new group K/DZ

Picking up where Jax Panik left off, K/DZ offers the same pop sensibilities, but with a harder, international-inspired dance influence. K/DZ will be both a music-making and gigging collective.

"Over the years, I've built up a network of amazingly talented singers, songwriters, musicians and beat-makers, from all over the world. We make magic together. What better way to showcase this than by launching a brand new project for releasing our music? K/DZ is the answer," said Panik from his new base in the UK.

Leading the project is the single Haters - the convincing song-writing of which is matched by the standard of production: recorded and produced by K/DZ, mixed by Jurgen von Wechmar and mastered at Metropolis Studios in London by Stuart Hawkes whose credits include: Example, Chase and Status, Amy Winehouse, and many more.

"I've always liked the idea of being part of a crew. Even though I have experience in releasing music under my own name, doing interviews, appearing in videos, performing on stage, etc., I am much more passionate about being in studio - behind the scenes - making music and writing songs.

"The K/DZ band will be unified by a collective gang image and ethos. This will be revealed as we go along. The project itself will be flexible. Members might come and go. In the end it won't really matter who's in the music video or on stage - it's all about the music," said Panik.
