Release date: Out now Label: MDLBEAST Records / Resound Records

DON’T CALL ME BABY, COZ THERE AIN’T NO STOPPING US NOW!

Sydney based DJ Young Franco returns with ‘Pull Up’, a genre-blending club track built around a sample of Pino D’Angiò’s 1980 Italian disco classic ‘Ma Quale Idea’ and released via MDLBEAST Records / Resound Records.

‘Ma Quale Idea’ sold over two million copies upon its release and climbed to number two on the Dutch charts, cementing D’Angiò as one of the defining voices of European club music in the early 1980s.

Young Franco doesn’t merely sample it; he rebuilds it from the ground up, keeping D’Angiò’s signature flair intact while steering it firmly into the present.

The result is a funky, UK garage-influenced anthem driven by punchy kicks and a guitar riff that anchors the whole record.

It moves fast, but Young Franco and his collaborators hold their ground within it. Scrufizzer, the West London MC whose career dates back to the early 2000s and who notably opened for Kendrick Lamar on tour in 2013.

Young Franco is a Sydney-based DJ and producer originally from Brisbane, widely regarded as one of Australia’s most exciting musical exports. Known for his genre-blending sound that combines electronic, disco, indie, and hip-hop, he has built a global reputation through high-energy performances and a steadily growing international fanbase spanning the UK, Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australia.

Young Franco has amassed over 500 million combined streams, earned four ARIA Gold-certified singles, an ARIA nomination for Best Solo Artist & Breakthrough artist in 2025, and received accolades including an Emmy nomination and a Queensland Music Award. Recent years have seen sold-out headline shows across Europe, strong support from BBC Radio 1, and key soundtrack placements with FIFA and film.
