Farhot and Bazzazian have helped shape the sound of European hip-hop and urban pop for years. Now the two producers have teamed up to take over the world. Die Achse (German for “the axis”) is both a production SWAT and a band of a new kind—using the power of music to tell stories that matter.
An Iranian and an Afghan in Germany, truly collaborating to craft blockbusters straight from the block—and add more to culture than any anti-immigration populist ever could. Their sound is equally raw and refined; a brute force of nature and an expression of virtuosity alike. Every single kick drum, bassline or sample chosen reflects their individual stories, their cultural roots, the hours spent honing their craft, their insatiable hunger for more.
Die Achse is modern-day trip-hop for rebellious minds, stripped of all the kitsch and bullshit, just unadulterated, touching beauty.
