Kiki Botonaki & Elias Kazais feat. Lazarusman – ‘Tension’

Greek producers Kiki Botonaki and Elias Kazais team up for Tension, a hypnotic Afro-house anthem featuring South African spoken-word artist Lazarusman. Released on One People, this track explores the weight of tension and the power of release, blending deep grooves with introspective lyricism.

Lazarusman’s poetic delivery unpacks the emotional and societal pressures of modern life, contrasting tension with moments of relief. His words ride over Botonaki and Kazais’ pulsating rhythms, creating a sonic journey of build and release—a meditation on movement, music, and mindfulness.

With Tension, One People continues to push the boundaries of Afro-house, delivering a thought-provoking dancefloor experience. Kiki Botonaki, known for her globally inspired sound, and Elias Kazais, a genre-fluid producer with releases on labels like Defected, craft a track that resonates deeply.

This release also cements Lazarusman’s reputation as a go-to lyricist in the Afro-house and deep-house scenes, following his work with Fka Mash, AMÉMÉ, and Jimpster. Tension is more than just a track—it’s a sonic therapy session, urging listeners to let go, breathe, and move.
