Paris-based DJ/producer Myd became a station favorite with the woozy-disco delights of his Ed Banger-released debut album, Born A Loser in 2021. Ahead of his highly anticipated sophomore record Mydnight (due Aug. 29), Myd hits the FREAKS ONLY decks with a live mix of never before heard Mydnight cuts and other KCRW-approved party favors (i.e.: Disclosure, Sofia Kourtesis & Daphni, etc.). Plus, he chats with host Travis Holcombe about getting advice from Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter on how to approach his second album, taking a page out of David Guetta's book for the titling process, and the frantic studio session that he streamed 24 hours a day for a full week on Twitch. The latter being something of a “necessity is the mother of invention” situation after he lost his hard drive with completed versions of the first two singles from the new LP. The experiment concluded with Myd triumphantly finishing "Song For You" and "The Wizard" in front of an audience of stream viewers.
Click that player button on this page; be among the first to hear deep cuts from the album that Myd describes as, “a significant evolution from his debut album, Born A Loser, with a more club-focused approach informed by three years of non-stop touring.”
