Kancho Club release new single 'Fyah'
For this outing, the live-hybrid duo channel their respective, musically-broad influences into a peaktime dancefloor hitter
Kancho Club released their new single this week (June 21), 'Fyah', dubbed the first in a "string of new music" set to be released over the coming months.
The track is their first release of the year and offers a significantly more dancefloor-focused affair than previous releases — think an infectious vocal sample fused with a thundering bassline.

“We wanted to create a deep, driving tune that was full of fierce character and emotion and would be used as a tool to push our audience even further into the dance floor,” the pair explain.
Based in Newcastle, Kancho Club are a hybrid-live duo who, when playing DJ sets, incorporate live instrumentation via percussion and saxophone. Their studio output, from debut single 'Say It Baby' to late 2023 releases 'Cobalt' and 'When I Feel', further embody the pair's respective previous neo-soul and jazz projects, this time with a more dance-focused lens.
