Franky Wah

from the rural edge of doncaster in yorkshire. resident advisor's line is that he blends emotion, dance energy and catchy hooks, and magnetic's read on his recent work is deep house and techno with trance and breakbeat in it.

Come Together, out on ministry of sound on 3 april 2020, is the record that did it. his own bio says annie mac kept it on radio 1's a list for six weeks.

When I approach my performances, it's always about creating a journey. You've got to read the room, feel the energy.

franky wah to electronic groove, april 2025

he started SHÈN Recordings in 2022. the name means spirit in chinese and the label is tied to his own heritage. sasha, cristoph and joris voorn have all released on it, and it held a sixteen week ibiza residency in 2023 that has since moved to chinois.

the last two years have been a run of good addresses. the Disconnect ep with kuuda on crosstown rebels in june 2025, Riptide and Groovejet on hernan cattaneo's sudbeat that july, the Light Years ep back on crosstown rebels in february 2026, and Get On My Level with sasha on last night on earth in may. he has also made records with carl cox twice and with Vintage Culture, further up this page.

this summer: nacar in barcelona on 8 august, creamfields on the twenty eighth, then blue marlin in ibiza on 27 september and the masquerade closing at chinois on 10 october.
