Kiss FM - Dance Music Australia


FRANKY WAH (UK) | GUEST MIX | 3PM FRIDAY 11TH NOV 22

Kiss FM is excited to announce a last minute LIVE Guest Mix and interview today with UK DJ & Producer Franky Wah.

A DJ, producer, and label boss, Franky Wah continues to ascend to the upper echelons of electronic music with his intuitive understanding of emotive dance floor energy. Prolific both in the underground circuit as well as crossing over to the commercial side of dance music, he was tipped as a Future Star by BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong in 2020 and has continued to move from strength to strength ever since. With ever-growing support by the likes of Annie Mac, Danny Howard and Mistajam, Franky’s also become a regular name at some of the world’s most esteemed festivals and venues including Creamfields, Glastonbury, Fabric and The Warehouse Project, with his own headline tours across North America, South America and Australia establishing a momentous and adoring global fan base.

As prolific on the road as he is in the studio, Franky Wah’s glistening discography has seen him release on labels including Tale Of Us’ Afterlife Recordings, Anjunadeep and Ministry Of Sound, along with heading up SHÈN Recordings and Terracotta Records –two labels where he continues to build a catalogue of his own productions as well as providing platforms for his peers and emerging new talent.

Marking his meteoric rise, Franky’s output of singles, EP’s and mixtapes have regularly peaked at the top of the Beatport and Radio 1 Dance charts respectively. Regularly gaining support from some of the industry’s leading artists such as Sasha, John Digweed, Solomun, Adriatique and many more, Franky has also collaborated twice with dance music legend Carl Cox –most recently in September of this year on the single We Are One, taken from Carl Cox’s new LP Electronic Generations.

Across the rest of the year, Franky will continue his run of music with a string of anticipated new singles ahead of the release of This Is SHÈN, along with embarking on headline tours to South America, Australia and New Zealand and North America.

  • Franky Wah announces This Is SHÈN. A new 27-track mixtape featuring unreleased music from one of the most exciting talents in dance music today,This Is SHÈN will be released on November 25th via Franky’s own label, SHÈN Recordings.

  • Revealing the first details of a vault of new music which has been played out in Franky’s sets all year, This Is SHÈN is unveiled with a new collaborative single with dance music visionary Sasha. I’ll Never Change (SHÈN Edit) is released today and was written as two versions by Sasha and Franky in 2021. Originally, I’ll Never Change featured on Sasha’s celebrated 2021 album LUZoSCURA with Franky’s SHÈN Edit marking the opening taster of a run of new singles from his upcoming mixtape. 27 tracks which epitomise SHÈN Recordings, Franky’s forthcoming mixtape is the UK artist’s most career-defining body of work to date. Showcasing his eclectic style from house, techno and the melodic elements which swiftly have become his trademark, each track continues to demonstrate Franky’s ability to create highly emotive productions designed for late night and early morning dance floors. The coming weeks will see Franky release a string of new singles, with the mixtape featuring collaborations with vocalists Robinson, Luisant and Lunar June. Also set to arrive on the mixtape’s release day in November, Franky will debut a live mix of This Is SHÈN in its entirety within a full cinematic video.“This mixtape was a project that initially started out as 8 tracks. Through multiple rounds of revisions, 8 tracks then turned into 27 as I had so much music that I was sitting on.

  • I’ve been playing most of these records in my sets for a while now and seeing the reaction to them, it was clear that they needed to see the light of day. I think this mixtape is definitely one for the fans and a way for me to give back the records that they’ve stayed until the early hours of the morning at my shows for.” –Franky Wah
