out now on stmpd rcrds

Martin Garrix, under his alias GRX, has just dropped his latest track "Empire," with NUZB, marking his first-ever collaboration with a Brazilian artist. 

Over the last two years, the duo refined “Empire” while testing it live during their performances. The buzz around the track only grew as fans tried to identify its creators. The track's name was inspired by its first spin during Garrix’s iconic set atop the Empire State Building in New York. 

During Garrix’s South America tour, where NUZB joined him as support act, plans for the official release began and the final touches were made the weeks after.

Reflecting on the collaboration, NUZB shared: “I can’t explain how I’m feeling right now, I’m so happy. This is a huge achievement for me, and I’m so proud of the song. Back in the day, I was a huge fan of Martin, so it’s unbelievable to now release a song together with him.”
