TECHNO TITAN ELI BROWN AND BRONX PRINCESS GEEZLY JOIN FORCES ON THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED GENRE-BREAKING TRACK, “PAPI”
Techno’s explosive yet elusive force, Eli Brown, has come together with New York-based Latin rapper and undeniable baddie, GeezLy to unveil their highly-anticipated collaboration, “Papi”. Colliding the two genres at nothing short of breakneck speed, Eli Brown and GeezLy shatter the boundaries with the release, officially arriving Friday, July 25, 2025.
From studio to stage in less than 24 hours, “Papi” is a turbo-charged showcase of the duo’s boundless creative vision and relentless artistic alignment, seamlessly fusing the worlds of techno and rap. GeezLy’s raw authenticity and bold, unapologetic lyrics are infused with Brown’s brooding, sinister sound, resulting in a viscerally addictive anthem that instantly ignites dancefloors across the globe. Watch the track erupt on stages from Coachella, to Hï Ibiza, EDC Las Vegas & Korea, The Brooklyn Storehouse, and everywhere in between HERE.
From Eli Brown: “Latin music has always been a part of, and a big influence within house and techno, although, within recent years perhaps less so within techno it seems? I play a lot in Latin America, and also see a big Latin community at my other shows so I felt really inspired to try and merge these two musical cultures. When GeezLy and I got in the studio the energy was great, and the vision just came together – we went from studio to stage in 24 hours. I’m excited to drop this record as I feel it showcases another side to my sound as I’m always trying to push things forward and in different directions.”
A true testament to the unifying power of music, the track illuminates the tightly woven cultural tapestry that is the underground. Eli Brown and GeezLy’s deliberate blend of style isn’t a crossover – it’s a homecoming of sound, an embrace of community and a complete embodiment of the scene that’s played a pivotal role in both artists’ lives. “Papi” is a reflection of the Latin diaspora’s enduring influence on music and culture, and is a celebration of the underground resistance from which the genres were brought forth.
From GeezLy: “The beat connects us, not the language. In New York, we’re labeled as trap and hip-hop — people don’t expect this sound from someone like me. As far as listening to EDM and living it, it’s something that is part of my experience. So this is kind of personal for me.”
Equal parts master producer and veritable icon, Eli Brown is a sonic force in a category of his own. The techno powerhouse’s brooding sound and visceral energy have catapulted him from the UK’s underground to global phenomenon status at a meteoric pace since bursting onto the scene in 2016 – and he’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Coming off of a – literally– history making year, 2025 is poised to be THE year of Eli Brown, with a wealth of music releases in the pipeline alongside a plethora of monumental feats for the artist. Following an epic Miami Music Week, where he took over Factory town and shut down Ultra Music Festival’s Resistance stage, and a turbo-charged Coachella debut that saw the powerhouse headline the Yuma both weekends, followed by a high-octane performance at EDC Las Vegas, where his track “Wavey” was the official anthem. Most recently, Eli Brown sent shockwaves through New York City with a massive takeover of The Brooklyn Storehouse and release of his streetwear brand, 92 Thing’s, third capsule collection.
Balancing self-taught technical mastery with raw instinct, his genre-defying productions capture the rebellious edge of his hometown, Bristol’s electronic legacy while simultaneously forging a new frontier that beckons listeners into the deepest corners of his own creative recesses. Resonating with loyal fans and new audiences alike, Eli Brown is leaving an indelible mark on the industry as a whole as he continues to ignite a seismic shift across the scene entangling the genre’s edge with mainstream appeal in a way that’s nothing short of pure alchemy.
GeezLy is a genre-bending Nuyorican-Dominican rapper reshaping the sound and face of bilingual music. Raised in the Bronx and deeply influenced by summers spent in the Dominican Republic, she fuses dembow, Latin trap, and hip-hop into a style that’s raw, rhythmic, and culturally rich. Her breakout 2022 single “Ruleteo” became a defining moment, introducing her bold voice and unapologetic flow to a growing global audience. “Dembow is part of my DNA,” she says — a truth that continues to guide her sound even as she explores experimental and genre-fluid rhythms.
In 2024, she dropped her debut album GeezLy’s World — a hard-hitting, bilingual statement piece featuring standout collaborations with That Mexican OT, Conep, and NTG. The album’s lead single, “Smooth Operator” featuring That Mexican OT, racked up over 3.5 million YouTube views and 1.2 million streams across platforms, while her drill-forward anthem “GVNG” has surpassed 850K streams. With tracks like “Startrek” and “Got It” gaining viral traction on TikTok and DSPs, GeezLy continues to expand her influence.
Bold in her visuals, fearless in her voice, and grounded in her Caribeñaroots, GeezLy is not just next — she’s now. A rising voice in Latin and global music, she’s pushing culture forward one bilingual bar at a time.
