Kayzo details latest album 'New Breed' and asserts his metal music roots on the latest Talk Toomey Podcast

- By Matt Rushton

This week, Joshua Toomey dives into the EDM world and talks with one of the biggest names in the game, Kayzo, but he's also known in the metal world for working with Of Mice & Men, Memphis May Fire, Atreyu and more.

Kayzo joins Joshua to discuss his latest album, New Breed, and chats about how he got into metal and hardcore and how he wanted to blend the two styles together. Kayzo speaks on Korn being ahead of their time with their 2011 dubstep album, The Path of Totality, how Skrillex changed the game and bringing bands out to do shows.

The guys also get into the stigma of electronic music and how bizarre that is given how metal, punk and hardcore all seem to be such a common denominator among its practitioners. Kayzo discussed his own love for the heavier spectrum of music, his affinity for hardcore and how so many of his contemporaries all are cut from the same cloth.

He also discusses growing up playing hockey and how the European players would play dance and house music in the locker rooms to get hyped for the games. The guys finally discuss Kayzo's setlist process and debunk the "DJ is just up there hitting a spacebar" myth.

    The last time Cigarettes After Sex played a headline show in the UK was in a pre-Covid world, and the extensive queue line full of eager fans outside of Manchester’s O2 Apollo on the first night of the band’s return tour is hard proof of just how much they’ve been missed on these shores.

    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
