The Young Punx is the twisted alter ego of Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer Hal Ritson - the man behind 25 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.
