Iggy Magazine had this to say…
As winter 2026 drags on, Hal Ritson — the driving force behind the ever-evolving project The Young Punx — has dropped a real shot of dopamine: The Way I Make You Move. Taken from the highly anticipated album WPUNX, the new single isn’t just an invitation to dance; it’s a masterclass in pop and electronic craft.
From the opening bars, you can hear the London outfit’s signature DNA — that rare ability to blend eras seamlessly. Here, UK garage grooves meet a polished strain of nu-disco. But the real magic arrives with Brendan Reilly. Best known for his work with Disclosure, he brings a smooth, soulful vocal that adds a warmth often missing from modern productions. Backed by the impeccable harmonies of Vula Malinga, the track quickly turns into something genuinely uplifting and hard to shake.
Ritson’s production sidesteps the trap of nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. While the rhythm nods to the golden age of garage, the sound design is firmly contemporary — clean, punchy and built for modern systems. A special mention goes to the “Jeune Collins Mix,” which leans further into French Touch territory, making it a perfect fit for those late, slightly hazy end-of-night moments.
With The Way I Make You Move, The Young Punx show they’ve lost none of their edge. It’s stylish, effective, and a reminder that at its core, electronic music is about feeling as much as movement.
