Having made a splash with his impactful label debut last summer, Franky Wah returns to Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels imprint with 'Light Years', a two-track EP that explores emotion and movement with measured confidence. The release sees the Yorkshire-born producer further embed himself within the Crosstown universe, delivering a project built on patience, progression, and feeling, where every moment earns it's weight.The EP opens with the title track, a wide-screen, hypnotic solo burner that balances uplifting melodic energy with weighty, driving grooves. Built for long moments on the floor, the track unfolds, allowing atmosphere and tension to do the heavy lifting while maintaining a clear sense of momentum throughout. On the flip, Franky reunites with longtime collaborators, producer-songwriter-vocalist trio Kuuda, for their second outing alongside him on Crosstown Rebels with 'House In My Veins'. Continuing a partnership rooted in shared musical language and emotional depth, the Brighton-based trio is central to the track, bringing drive, earworm vocals, and a distinctive identity, woven seamlessly throughout Franky's cinematic production - grounding expansive moments with human connection.Following heavy support from Pete Tong on his Crosstown Rebels debut, and a recent invitation to host Tong's flagship BBC R1 show at the start of 2026, Franky continues to assert himself as an artist equally at home in club culture's most intimate spaces and it's widest-reaching platforms. Meanwhile, Kuuda continue their impressive start to 2026, hot on the heels of their recent collaboration with Hot Since 82 on Bedrock. This latest partnership delivers a focused yet expressive statement, music designed to breathe, to move, and to resonate long after the lights come up.Tracklisting:A. Franky Wah - Light Years B.
