Mahna Mahna! The Young Punx close out 2025 with a left field curveball that somehow turned into a fully playable dance record.

What began as a studio joke, sparked by the wonderfully oddball classic Mahna Mahna (originally written for a 60s blue movie soundtrack before becoming a global earworm on the Muppet Show), has now taken on a life of its own. 

In true Young Punx fashion the session started as a bit of mischief and quickly drifted into that familiar space where you are not entirely sure whether they are being serious or not. Then it settled into a surprisingly classy groove.

The result is a jazzy latin beach house take on Mahna Mahna. Sunlit chords, a rolling rhythm section, live feeling instrumentation and just enough of that unmistakable hook to make people grin at cocktail bars, pool parties and holiday season dancefloors. Equal parts playful and properly DJ friendly.

This release marks a final wink to 2025 as The Young Punx prepare to launch their fifth studio album WPUNX in 2026. The album will be a full scale original concept project set inside the world of a rogue desert radio station broadcasting wild genre collisions into the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Before that arrives, here is one last moment of dance floor fun.

Me... grew up in the UK. Born in Bath, studied in Leeds, worked in London and partied hard pretty much everywhere! 

Now live in Perth, Western Australia with my wife and two beautiful kids. Play a few gigs here and there, but mostly just in it for the love of damn good funky music.

The Young Punx is the twisted alter ego of Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer Hal Ritson - the man behind 29 billion streams for artists like Kanye West, The Chemical Brothers, Charli XCX, Nas, Avicii, Duke Dumont, and Clean Bandit.

This is where the rule-breaking happens.

A wild collision of house, disco, rock, funk, jazz, drum & bass, and anything else lying around the cultural scrapyard, The Young Punx makes high-energy, high-attitude music that celebrates chaos and creativity in equal measure.

From viral bootlegs and remixes in the 2000s, to festival stages worldwide and collaborations with Peaches, Amanda Palmer, Dizzee Rascal, Snoop Dogg and more - The Young Punx has always been hard to define and impossible to ignore.

Now reloading for 2025 with a new wave of music, animation and genre-defying anthems.
The new album WPUNX is on the way. Stay tuned.
