DESCRIPTION:
4 Track EP Of Tech House / House Feta Vocal From Kuuda- Franky Wah makes Crosstown Rebels debut with ‘Disconnect’ EP, featuring Kuuda. Out on 20th June 2025, the four-tracker sees the acclaimed UK producer make his first appearance on the revered imprint.
A producer known for balancing dancefloor energy with introspective songwriting, Franky Wah’s rise has been fuelled by a string of chart-topping singles, non-stop global club and festival appearances, and the launch of his own imprint and event brand, SHÈN. 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 RÜFÜS 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.
Yorkshire-born producer Franky Wah joins Crosstown Rebels with a polished, emotionally resonant four-tracker that fuses vocal-driven depth with peak-time muscle. Collaborating on two cuts with Brighton-based trio Kuuda, he leans into a widescreen sound that's equal parts club-primed and cinematic. 'Disconnect' sets the tone with icy synth washes and a dramatic vocal line, while 'Off The Wall' pushes further into afterhours haze, Kuuda's warped harmonies curling around a muscular rhythm section. The B-side delivers weight and tension: 'Desert Dance' channels trance and techno into a low-slung, hypnotic throb, while 'Freak In The Sheets' snaps and growls with basement energy. Wah's affinity for the big-room emotional payoff remains intact, but it's paired here with restraint and atmosphere that makes each drop land with greater intent. With years of major bookings and releases behind him, this feels like a confident, sharp-edged update from one of the UK's more melodic voices.
