Mazay and HIGH’S COOL release ‘Weekend’ via Fankee, a euphoric house and french touch single channelling the carefree energy of early 2000s club culture.
Community-driven label Fankee is proud to announce the release of “Weekend”, the new collaborative single by Mazay and HIGH’S COOL.
Born spontaneously during a phone call between Mazay and Federico “Fede” Secondomè of HIGH’S COOL, “Weekend” captures the chemistry of two artistic worlds reconnecting after years of shared creative evolution. The result is a track that channels the carefree instinct and euphoric energy of the early 2000s while sounding unmistakably contemporary.
Built around infectious house grooves, french touch textures and retro-inspired brit-pop vocal melodies, “Weekend” is designed as a soundtrack for collective escape, a song that transforms every weekend into a ritual of freedom, movement and connection.
Mazay, DJ and producer with a strong electronic identity, first emerged internationally as one half of the iconic duo Pink Is Punk, a project that helped define a generation of EDM and electro club culture. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with influential artists and producers including Drillionaire and Benny Benassi, contributing to multiple platinum-certified productions.
Alongside his studio work, Mazay has performed special DJ sets for AC Milan at San Siro, shared stages with Jovanotti during the Jova Beach Party and continues to tour Italy’s leading clubs with a sound that blends house, tech house and high-energy club sensibility. At the same time, he maintains deep roots in the underground electronic scene, with productions regularly supported by internationally respected DJs across the global club circuit.
HIGH’S COOL is an Italian electronic duo formed by Federico Secondomè and Keith Rich, combining early-2000s french touch energy with psychedelic pop influences reminiscent of Tame Impala, the glossy electronic aesthetic of Empire Of The Sun and the brit-pop attitude of Pulp. In a short time, the project has evolved into a wider creative movement spanning music, fashion and nightlife culture.
As producers, Secondomè and Keith Rich have also contributed to major international releases, including VULTURES 1 and VULTURES 2 by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign. Their artistic identity merges playful irreverence, refined sound design and a vivid visual language, positioning HIGH’S COOL among the most compelling emerging acts within Italy’s independent music landscape.
The release also reflects the vision behind Fankee, the revolutionary community-driven label redefining the relationship between artists and audiences. In an era dominated by algorithms, fleeting virality and platform gatekeepers, Fankee gives power back to fans, transforming them from passive listeners into active collaborators in an artist’s growth.
Through its innovative model, fans become instrumental in discovering artists, promoting releases, activating communities and helping shape cultural momentum. Meanwhile, artists retain their independence while gaining access to a collaborative ecosystem built around community participation, shared growth and direct engagement.
With “Weekend”, Mazay, HIGH’S COOL and Fankee come together to deliver more than just a single: they introduce a shared experience rooted in nostalgia, dancefloor culture and the collective energy of modern independent music.
