Donna Summer - Bad Girls(LIBRA IBIZA bootleg)

7 foot Italian electro wunderkid Phonat's defining work of leftfield genius is "Learn To Recycle".  “Bohemiam Rhapsody for the Acid house Generation “  Simon Hills GUSTO. “this guy F**ks with all the rules” Norman Cook.  The idea of the original mix is to take the same sample, drum kit and bass and, in six minutes, journey through everything from house, hip hop, drum and bass, electro, down tempo and everything else whilst passing!

Phonat - "Learn to Recycle"

So imagine a three-way between the Rolling Stones, a dancehall MC, and an electro-house banger... Actually, scratch that — no need to imagine. Here it is.

This is the kind of feel-good culture clash only The Young Punx could pull off.

Front and centre is the larger-than-life Spoonface (aka Elroy Powell), who improvised the vocals in under a minute in the booth. Yes, the man’s been in EastEnders and Star Wars, and he sang the Black Legend hit “The Trouble With Me.” Oh — and there's even a Lego mini-figure of him.

Add to that some swaggering guitars from Rob Harris (Jamiroquai) and drums from Alex Reeves (Elbow), and you’ve got a serious genre-mashing party starter.

“So So Right” is the teaser single from The Young Punx’ long-awaited fifth studio album WPUNX, coming later this year... if they ever finish it.

So So Right

Following their 2023 streaming hit “Kiss Of Life” (3M+ streams), The Young Punx and Lexa Hill return with their fourth collaboration — a soulful summer house track built for sunsets, cocktails, and moments of quiet connection.

“The One With The Flute” is a sun-drenched, laid-back house groove with a twist: soaring, improvised flute solos from internationally acclaimed jazz flautist Gareth Lockrane, layered over deep, warm beats and shimmering textures.

The track also features a powerful spoken-word breakdown by long-time Young Punx collaborator Steve M Smith — a former member of The Drifters — whose rich voice delivers a moving meditation on the power of music to transform:

"Music is the liberation of the spirit... the power to change the world, one note at a time."
Despite a long-running and fruitful creative partnership, Hal Ritson (The Young Punx) and Lexa Hill have never actually met or spoken — their collaboration is a testament to how shared musical instincts can transcend distance and language.

Released on iconic Italian dance label D:Vision Records, “The One With The Flute” offers a feel-good, uplifting experience — the perfect soundtrack for the summer to come.

THE YOUNG PUNX : IN DJs WE TRUST DJ MIX

Pure Shores (The Beach)

The Young Punx team up with Lost Prince and BYRON to reimagine Steve Monite’s cult 1984 Nigerian funk anthem “Only You”.

Hailed by DJs and record collectors as the holy grail of Nigerian funk, the original track became a rare-groove treasure for its hypnotic bassline, soulful vocals, and irresistible Afro-boogie swagger. Now in 2025, we bring it to the dancefloor as a groovy, piano-driven house rework that blends heritage with forward-looking club energy.

Our version keeps the timeless hook and melodic spirit of the original while injecting deep house basslines, live piano solos reminiscent of early Chicago house, and an uplifting modern production. Vocals are newly recorded by South African singer and actor Sifiso Mazibuko, adding a fresh interpretation while paying tribute to Steve Monite’s legacy.

This collaboration between The Young Punx, Lost Prince, and BYRON represents the meeting point of global influences: Nigerian funk roots, South African soul, and European house energy — all united in a track designed for both DJs and dancefloors.

The Young Punx – Mashpop & Punkstep: DnB Mixes

The Young Punx team up with Croatian drum & bass powerhouse Kodin to reimagine tracks from their cult 2009 album Mashpop & Punkstep through a dark DnB lens.

At the centre of the EP is “Like Dat” (feat. Count Bass D) — a tough, neuro-tinged rework that blends heavyweight low-end with occasional Blade Runner-style synth atmospheres. Bronx-born indie-rap legend Count Bass D delivers surreal, coded verses — retelling The Young Punx’s tour stories in a hybrid of Tennessee/Atlanta slang and clipped London RP — over Kodin’s cinematic production.

Also included is Kodin’s reinvention of the ragga-tinged “Juice and Gin”, the remix that first caught The Young Punx’s ear and sparked the whole collaboration. His distinctive sound design and uncompromising grooves push the track into deeper, futuristic territory.

To complete the package, Phonat’s Punkstep Mix of “Ready For The Fight” is included — a rock-meets-drum & bass collision driven by distorted guitars, perfectly reflecting the culture-clash ethos of the original album. Previously released, it’s included here to round out the DnB collection.

Visuals for the release come from Dutch artist Han Hoogerbrugge, whose typographical chaos of lyrics set against pixelated sea creatures and cityscapes offers a uniquely abstract response to the music.

🎙️ The Young Punx – “Jack This Town” (WPUNX Album Teaser) FREE DL

In 2026 we will be back on air. Broadcasting from the last surviving radio shack in the wasteland. 

Welcome to WPUNX, a forthcoming concept album about a rogue station still pumping out joy while the world burns. Every track is a different broadcast; every signal a clash of genres that shouldn’t work but somehow does.

“Jack This Town” is the first teaser transmission, here exclusively on Soundcloud (with free DL). At its core it’s a cheesy disco record, big, shiny and grinning, but as always we can’t leave well enough alone. It keeps falling apart and re-assembling itself: live drums, horns, radio stingers, wrong-foot drops, and solos that shouldn’t exist in a dance track but absolutely do. Imagine a block-party tape being chewed by the machine and you’re still dancing anyway.

The Young Punx are back in full mischief mode: funk, house, and satire rolled into one fat groove. This isn’t a single, it’s a flare in the sky to say the new album is coming.

More transmissions soon.

Stay tuned. 📻 #WPUNX
