DISCONNECT (EP) | 12IN VINYL

Franky Wah, A producer known for balancing dancefloor energy with introspective songwriting, Franky Wah's rise has been fueled by a string of chart-topping singles, non-stop global club and festival appearances, and the launch of his own imprint and event brand, SHEN. With musical influences stretching from trance and breakbeat to afro-house and techno, he now brings that rich sound palette to the Crosstown fold for the first time with a release that's equal parts euphoric and deep as it is driving. Delivering a powerful and emotionally charged four-track release, 'Disconnect' showcases the Yorkshire-born artist's blend of underground grit and melodic sophistication, featuring two standout collaborations with rising vocal trio Kuuda. Opening the EP, the title track pairs swirling textures, brooding basslines and crisp percussion with commanding vocals, setting the tone for the journey ahead. The synergy continues on 'Off The Wall', a hazy, late-night jam elevated by Kuuda's signature warped vox interjections. On the flip, 'Desert Dance' continues further into hypnotic territory with wicked bass licks and layered synth work, before closing track 'Freak In The Sheets' delivers another impactful, heads-down groove laced with attitude. Featured on two of the EP's four cuts, Brighton-based trio Kuuda continue to emerge as a rapidly ascending vocal project within electronic music. Known for their genre-fluid songwriting and dynamic live presence, their collaborations with Hot Since 82, Yousef and Artche have earned them widespread support from the likes of Pete Tong, Danny Howard and RUFUS DU SOL. Blending emotional depth with club-ready impact, 'Disconnect' marks an inspired meeting point between Franky Wah's expansive production style and the Crosstown Rebels spirit-one that looks set to soundtrack dancefloors throughout the summer and beyond.
