Our friends from Azari & III have, at long last, released their debut album. After gaining the respect of some of America and Britain’s top dance producers and tastemakers, and starting something of a cult following around two years ago with singles Reckless and Hungry 4 the Power, Azari & III went on touring the world and her festivals, including L.E.D, Creamfields, and Ibiza, with countless dates across the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond. Hard to believe just two years ago I was opening for them at Toronto’s Mod Club, and hanging out backstage with the boys and huge Azari & III fans, Classixx, as they waxed on about their love for fashion, low-fi, and their Gay 80s Chicago aesthetic.
