Nate Franchesco Turns Up the Heat with New Genre-Bending Single 'Club 440'
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, June 22, 2025 / / -- Acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and genre-blending virtuoso Nate Franchesco has dropped another sonic gem with the release of his new single, 'Club 440.' Fusing elements of funk, rock, synthwave, and improvisational genius, the track is a masterclass in both musical versatility and instinctive groove. Franchesco, known for his uncanny ability to play by ear across guitar, drums, piano, bass, mandolin, and harmonica, delivers a hypnotic blend of vintage soul and modern production that's as electrifying as it is timeless. With no co-producers or ghost collaborators, the track is written, arranged, and produced entirely by Nate using his standalone Zoom R12 rig—continuing his commitment to full creative independence. 'Club 440' follows a wave of recent press buzz and radio interviews spotlighting Nate's comeback story—marked by a full recovery from spinal surgery and a renewed push into the spotlight as one of L.A.'s most uniquely gifted underground artists. Fans of Prince, Thundercat, and Daft Punk will find themselves at home in the track's bold textures and unexpected turns. Already racking up streaming momentum and strong critical notice, 'Club 440' cements Nate Franchesco's status as a must-watch force redefining modern instrumental music—without needing a band, a label, or a major push. The single is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major platforms.

How South Korea's music festival scene is getting bigger, louder and more diverse
It was an early summer day and, without a cloud in the sky, the temperature in Seoul Olympic Park hit 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit). But the rising heat did not deter Elena Joo from attending this year's Seoul Jazz Festival, with international headliners such as Thundercat, Jacob Collier and Lany, as well as chart-topping home favourites like Crush, Epik High and Jannabi. 'This is my first time going to the Seoul Jazz Festival after putting it off for the past few years,' said the 35-year-old Seoul native, clinging on to a picnic mat and other outdoor necessities like water bottles and a packed lunchbox. 'I knew that the festival happened every year in my neighbourhood. But it was when everyone started to talk about it like this big, one-of-a-kind annual event that I actually wanted to go.' There have been quite a number of large-scale music events in South Korea this year. EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) Korea unofficially kicked off the festival season at the end of April with South Korean DJ Peggy Gou making a much-anticipated headliner appearance at Incheon's newly built Inspire Entertainment Resort. The audience braves the summer heat to watch the Yussef Dayes Experience on the main stage at the 2025 Seoul Jazz Festival. Photo: Seoul Jazz Festival The 17th edition of the Seoul Jazz Festival, held between May 30 and June 1, brought in a total of 46,000 attendees who shuttled between the main stage in 88 Lawn Field – the number in reference to the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games – the KSPO Dome and SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium, which are some of the biggest indoor concert venues in the country.
