Yulia Niko and Alfonso Muchacho Cover a 1980’s Classic with ‘Bad Habits’

Yulia Niko returns with another compelling contribution to her forthcoming ‘Body Language Vol. 26’ compilation, as she teams up with enigmatic UK producer Alfonso Muchacho for ‘Bad Habits’ – a deep, soulful cover of Jenny Burton’s iconic 1985 anthem. Out now via Get Physical Music ahead of the compilations full release on September 19, the track continues to shape the sound and spirit of one of electronic music’s most in demand talents.

Taking inspiration from Burton’s timeless vocal hook, ‘Bad Habits’ breathes new life into a classic with a modern, underground twist. At once groovy, hypnotic and irresistibly soulful, the track pairs a rich female vocal performance – full of warmth and attitude – with stripped-back, rolling percussion and a darkly polished low-end. The result is a simmering late-night weapon that pays homage to its roots while speaking fluently to today’s dancefloors.

More raw and underground in tone than the compilation’s earlier singles, ‘Bad Habits’ reflects the creative synergy between two distinct but complementary forces. Yulia Niko, known for her emotionally charged minimalism and deep club sensibility, brings her signature finesse to the mix – clean, elegant, and loaded with tension. Opposite her, UK-based producer Alfonso Muchacho infuses the track with his esoteric approach to sound design, weaving in haunting textures, tight grooves and a sense of mysticism that’s become his trademark.

This is a meeting of minds, where technical precision and instinctive feel collide. Both artists share a deep respect for the emotional power of vocal house, and here, they’ve created something that feels both classic and current, nostalgic yet entirely of the moment.

‘Bad Habits’ follows Yulia Niko’s recent releases ‘Just Just’ (with Rework) and ‘So In Love With You’, further showcasing her range as both a curator and collaborator. It also marks a standout contribution from Alfonso Muchacho – a cult figure in the underground, whose productions operate on a unique wavelength of controlled chaos, hypnotic rhythm,and shadowy allure.

As the latest chapter in ‘Body Language Vol. 26’, ‘Bad Habits’ continues to define the spirit of the compilation: bold, genre-fluid and deeply rooted in the dancefloor’s emotional core.
