Fankee Records steps boldly into the season with Right Now EP, a crisp four-tracker from four of Italy’s most compelling rising producers. Scheduled for release on June 20, this VA compilation blends floor functionality with individual flair—ready to plug directly into summer club rotations.
The release signals a clear mission: spotlight emerging talent through a community-powered model. Founded in 2024 by Giacomo Pellegrini and Dario Pozzi, Fankee flips the traditional label script. Artists maintain majority ownership, while fans can earn a stake in the tracks’ success by promoting and supporting releases. A built-in engagement engine with real-world rewards.
Filippo Vian kicks things off with Speed Up—a peak-time mover with momentum in its name and essence. Clean drive, club-tested intent.
Michele Lopardo follows with Buonasera, a groove-rich slice of deep minimal tech. After sharing stages with Alan Dixon and Kölsch, Lopardo brings polish and underground discipline in equal measure.
Yuri M. drops House Sensation, a funk-laced, emotive cut that taps into his musical background. His roots in piano and guitar come through in the melodic phrasing, offering a versatile tool for warm-ups or sunrise sets.
OXLAY closes with 00 AM—a low-end-heavy, percussive weapon that hits hardest in darker rooms. With prior plays at Studio 338 and Sankeys Ibiza, OXLAY knows how to shape the pressure.
Right Now EP is tight, effective, and thoughtfully curated. DJs looking for fresh European sounds with integrity and dancefloor intent should file this one under: Must Play.
