The record
Four years on the dance floor. Now it needed a sleeve worth holding.
Da Fonk is Mochakk’s signature record. Released with Joni on Nervous Records in 2022, it reached number one on Beatport’s Jackin House chart, peaked at number nine overall and has passed 63 million Spotify streams. It is the track that carried a DJ from São Paulo to the main stages of the world, and it still closes his sets.
In August 2026 Nervous Records marked four years of it with a remix pack: ten new versions by Marco Carola, Confidence Man, DJ Gigola, Cinthie, Bronka, Solarce Brothers, DJ Fuzil, Classmatic and Deekapz & kLap, plus a new OG Dub by Mochakk himself. On vinyl it became three 12-inch records on glow-in-the-dark wax, catalogue NER27202, sold only through the label and launched during his New York weekend. Mochakk called it his first release on wax. We drew it.
The idea
A record that keeps people moving gets a sleeve that moves.
The front is a dance floor: twelve skeletons on one flat red, each caught in its own step, around a single lock-up in yellow. A skeleton reads at a glance from across a record shop and feels right for a track built on Brazilian funk energy: loose, cheeky, impossible to keep still. The back gives one dancer a whole panel beside the tracklist.
The lettering
Two alphabets, both drawn by hand.
The first is loud: fat yellow letters with a hard black line, halftone in the shadow and an orbit with two sparks running round the name. It carries the record. The second is built from the subject itself, every letter of DA FONK made of bones, and it carries everything that leaves the sleeve.
The label
The one piece of print that spins.
On the centre label a single dancer fills the circle, with the spindle hole through its hip. Drop the needle and it turns on the spot at 33⅓, glowing on its dark wax.
Beyond the sleeve
From the record shop to the skate park.
The art went on to two skate decks and a shirt. The New York weekend opened with a skate jam, and Mochakk signed decks and records himself for fans at Mochakk Calling São Paulo.
