Track Review: Azzecca – “Forbidden Fruit”

Chicago-based DJ and producer Azzecca has been steadily carving her own lane in the world of house and electronic music, and her latest release, “Forbidden Fruit,” is yet another shining example of why she’s become one of the most exciting names to watch.

From the very first beat, “Forbidden Fruit” is a vibe—a track that manages to feel both brooding and undeniably danceable. Azzecca’s trademark blend of deep, rolling basslines and hypnotic melodies is fully on display here, but what sets this one apart is its infectious energy. There’s a playful tension between the darker tones of the track and its undeniable club appeal; it’s moody, yet uplifting, cool yet entirely inviting.

A Simple but Striking Hook

One of the most interesting elements of “Forbidden Fruit” is its use of vocals. The lyric is simple—a haunting repetition of “God, bless you,” according to Genius Lyrics—but Azzecca manipulates the phrase into a kind of mantra. Filtered and layered throughout the track, it becomes less of a focal point and more of a texture, weaving itself into the rhythm like another percussive element. It’s subtle but highly effective, contributing to the track’s hypnotic pull.

Energy on the Dancefloor

This is peak-time material for the underground dancefloor. It’s not loud or brash—instead, it simmers with intent. The bassline keeps things moving, while synth flourishes and atmospheric pads create space for listeners to lose themselves in the groove. It’s easy to imagine this track sliding into a warehouse set at 2 a.m. or floating over a festival crowd just as the sun dips below the horizon.

Final Verdict

We’re giving “Forbidden Fruit” a strong 9/10. It’s a masterclass in restraint and atmosphere, showcasing Azzecca’s ability to create tracks that don’t just make you move—they pull you in.

Azzecca continues to prove that she’s an artist who understands the power of subtlety and groove. “Forbidden Fruit” isn’t just a song—it’s a statement of where underground house music is headed.
