Mieka Du Franx is one classy lady. A former resident of the vancity, she is now back at her homebase of New York. She took a bit of a break from production, but lately she’s been back in the studio throwing down new tracks for her label Felinephonix Music. She was one of the mainstays of the popkiller parties, and she still knows how to rock the decks…

Burlesque Disco, produced by Mieka Du Franx, a name we are seeing more of from her vocal drops on her own imprint Felinephonix Music, Robsoul Recordings to her remix on house labels, Nervous Records, Is This, and Cuatro to her own label releases on Felinephonix Music. This New York native, develops her stretch for sounds by combining an original Italo Disco sound with elements of a Moog for an innovative project she refers to as, Nu Disco House. Mieka captures the late-night, peak time in the city atmosphere with use of train horns throughout, classic analogue additives, and her own vocal describing her illicit behaviors, strange dances, and ritualistic activities. The ample amount of extended lush for those who see the Nu side of Disco a hot commodity. She also adds a “burlesque beatzie” version that breaks up the original for more of a freestyle pop-lockin groove.
