On March 29th, 2024, the French production duo 2smile made a poignant return with their latest single, ‘Tribute To Frikkyo’, paying homage to the late DJ Da Frikkyo, an influential figure in the Italian hard techno scene. With an arsenal of over 100 unreleased tracks, fluidly mixing genres whilst incorporating elements of music from across the world, 2smile’s consistent output of high-calibre, club-ready floor fillers combined with their powerful stage presence solidifies their position as one of the most exciting emerging acts to watch this year. Following a string of successive releases on their Ondawey Music imprint, blending styles spanning Melodic Techno, Tech House, and Afro House, 2smile‘s latest offering showcases their production prowess and ingenuity for eclecticism.
‘Tribute To Frikkyo’ has already earned praise from industry heavyweights such as Laurent Garnier, Terry Francis, Deer Jade, Mike Van Brugge, Paco Osuna, Steve Lawler, and Don Diablo. Crafted on the night of Frikkyo’s passing, the duo recalls their creative process as deeply spiritual, describing it as if guided by an ethereal presence.
The track seamlessly blends exhilarating guitars and rich basslines with sampled vocals from the legendary Fela Kuti. This fusion of elements creates a captivating sonic experience, celebrating the life and legacy of a beloved friend.
