“IDWK is about the lasting effects of a freshly ended relationship, or a budding relationship you’re building toward. You feel invisible and helpless in your own head; and though you’re not with that person, you can’t help but think about where they are, who they’re with, and what they’re doing. IDWK is a song about your heart and your brain being out of alignment, and leaving your emotions caught in the middle.” — Friendzone
In October, global party brand Space Yacht pivoted from throwing 150 shows around the world annually, to launching its own record label. Now, the L.A. based imprint is excited to introduce the first Friendzone track of 2021, "I Don’t Wanna Know."
The effervescent duo comprised of Jesse Woods and Hayden Warzek pumps out high-octane beats that are perfect for the main stage, and have performed at the X Games in addition to opening for heavy-hitters including Kaskade, Cheat Codes, RL Grime, Nitti Gritti and more.
Their new single “I Don’t Wanna Know (ft. Candace Sosa)” is a collaboration alongside Nikademis. A complextro symphony of gritty bass lines and Sosa’s euphoric vocal tenor, Friendzone and Nikademis deliver infectious energy fit for the main stage.
The single was premiered earlier this month by Liquid Todd on his SiriusXM betaBPM show, and other early champions of Friendzone include 3LAU, Timmy Trumpet, Borgeous, and Morgan Page. Friendzone’s radio-ready records are driven by Hayden’s background as a classically-trained musician and songwriter, as well as Jesse’s background dominating California’s club circuit.
ABOUT FRIENDZONE
Like a good steak and fine wine, electronic-pop duo Friendzone is the pairing of Jesse Woods and Hayden Warzek.
While Jesse cut his teeth DJing the club circuit across California, Hayden is a classically-trained musician and songwriter who has performed at Carnegie Hall.
The two artists met at a Park City nightclub and ultimately became roommates in a dingy, two bedroom apartment, where the Friendzone dream was born. While their local scene was dominated by bass music, Friendzone set themselves apart from the herd by curating their own high-octane, open-format sets. “[We] want every show, no matter the size, to feel like a festival experience,” the duo explains.
Friendzone makes music with the hopes to connect and inspire people from all walks of life, from all identities of race, gender, and sex. Many have already started making comparisons to famous duos such as The Chainsmokers, but Friendzone is definitely something no one’s seen before.
Whether it's giving out turkey legs at their Friendzone Friendsgiving or pouring fans shots in the crowd, Friendzone shows are always full of surprises and good times. If this is your first time listening to Friendzone, you may have just gained two new best friends you never wanted or knew you needed.
