Tropkillaz

Tropkillaz is a duo formed by two top Brazilian producers, both from the old school (DJ Zegon), and new school (Laudz).

DJ Zegon is one of Brazil’s most respected DJ/Producers – with a career spanning over 20 years, and having worked in over 100 records, including collaborations with Kanye West, M.I.A, David Byrne (Talking Heads), George Clinton, a few Wu Tang Members (RZA, Method Man, Ol’Dirty Bastard) amongst others. Former member of the group N.A.S.A, he toured the world with their debut album “The Spirit of Apollo” and performed in festivals such as Coachella.

Laudz is a new cat in the game, however even with only 5 years in the business he’s worked with the likes of like Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, as well as Brazil’s top hip hop MCs. The two have also scored movies, commercials and tracks for videogames.

Together, the two have created an intense collection of club bangers,that blends Trap and Bass music with Electro,Hip Hop, and Latin Samples in a unique style.

They first got worldwide attention with their underground hit “Mambo”, a sure shot in any dance-floor, and their recent collab  “Assets” with Yellow Claw (released by Mad Decent) propelled them even further, placing Tropkillaz’s footprint in the Trap Movement.

Being recently featured on Run The Trap’s Top 10 Trap Duos (tastemaker blog in the scene – run by Complex Music), having their remix of N.A.S.A’s “Hide” on the Top 10 iTunes Electronic Charts (US & UK), official remixes for Major Lazer, and with recent support from superstar DJs like Diplo, Flosstradamus, DJ Snake, Steve Aoki, to name a few, Tropkillaz have proved to be heavy-weight contenders.

With over 50 original tracks and remixes ready, and having performed sold out shows in venues ranging from Brazil to Russia, Tropkillaz is currently finishing a mixtape entitled “Tropical Bass Killers”, as well as their debut EP.
