Blog Review: Three Is A Crowd by Tanizzle – A One-Man EDM Riot Full of Heart and Heat

Three is a Crowd

From the heart of London’s underground creative scene comes ''Three Is A Crowd,'' the electrifying new EP by Tanizzle—a.k.a. Mark “Drill Manga” Foxx, whose singular artistic vision explodes across three high-octane tracks. Dropped on March 9, 2025, the project is as much a statement of self-reliance as a celebration of dance music’s power to unite. Every beat, synth swirl, and vocal hook was handcrafted in Tanizzle’s home studio, making this release a masterclass in DIY production and creative authenticity. With its blistering energy and genre-blending charm, ''Three Is A Crowd'' plays the game and rewrites the rules.

Opening with “Trifecta,” the EP wastes no time getting bodies moving. The track erupts with pulsating basslines and layered synths that twist and evolve with surgical precision. There’s a confidence that sets the tone for the rest of the record, a sense that Tanizzle knows where he wants to take us. Crisp percussive elements snap against a melodic backbone, creating a massive and intimate track. It’s an immersive start, pulling you into the mind of a producer who’s obsessed with sound and its emotional impact.

“No Vacancy” shifts the mood slightly, introducing a deeper groove and late-night club vibes. The rhythm is sensual, cool and confident, like slipping past the velvet rope into a secret afterparty. Echoes of Michael Jackson’s influence creep into the mix, not through imitation, but through attention to detail: perfectly timed drops, infectious vocal cuts, and a meticulous balance between rhythm and melody. With a touch of Afrobeats flavor tucked inside the kick and shuffle, Tanizzle crafts a global dance anthem that doesn't scream for attention but demands it nonetheless.

The closer, “Third Wheel,” is the EP’s knockout punch, a bold, unapologetic blend of grit and euphoria. It's a dancefloor anthem with tension and release, where jittery synths rise and fall like sparks on a live wire. Tanizzle’s sense of pacing here is masterful, teasing beat drops and surprising with left-field transitions that keep listeners guessing and grooving. There's playfulness to this track, an underlying wink that says, “Yeah, I know I’m killing it.” And he is.

What’s most remarkable about ''Three Is A Crowd'' is the process. Built entirely by one man in his home studio using Reason, this EP is a testament to what happens when technical skill meets unfiltered passion. Free from outside constraints, Tanizzle carved out a sound unmistakably his own. The entire project oozes intention, yet never feels over-engineered. There’s an almost “live” spirit to each track, raw, spontaneous, and brimming with personality. It’s EDM with fingerprints all over it, and that’s what makes it feel alive.

In a world of over-produced singles and faceless playlists, ''Three Is A Crowd'' stands as a work of pure creative fire. Tanizzle builds worlds, and this one happens with a dancefloor attached. Whether locked into your headphones or lost in a crowd, these tracks hit with clarity, conviction, and pure kinetic joy. It’s a flex and a full-body experience. And if this is the Tanizzle way? Count us all in.
