Jun 1, 2014
Dillon Francis is an American electronic music producer, known for being one of the pioneers of moombahton and moombahcore.
Francis first rose to fame after gaining the attention of American producer Diplo and eventually collaborating on the song "Que Que". His song "Masta Blasta", originally a 130 BPM house track, was edited after inspiration from Dutch musician Munchi and eventually ended up as the moombahton track that brought him to fame. In 2010, Francis released his Swashbuckler EP on Play Me Records.
He has released works on multiple labels including Dim Mak Records, Mad Decent and OWSLA. In February 2012, Francis became the first moombahton artist to achieve the number-one spot atop the Beatport releases chart with the release of his extended play Something, Something, Awesome.
Francis was labeled by MTV as an "artist to watch". The uprising artist is on his way to becoming one of the most recognized faces in the EDM scene. In the past year, Francis performed at many popular music festivals such as Camp Bisco, Electric Daisy Carnival, Coachella, TomorrowWorld, Ultra & Electric Zoo.
Francis is also one half of the comedy production duo Meowski666 alongside Kill The Noise. In October 2013 he was announced as number 73 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll. His single "Get Low" with DJ Snake was released on February 11th.
On March 22, 2014 Francis announced via his official Twitter account that his debut album, entitled "Money Sucks, Friends Rule", will be released in July 2014 on Mad Decent and Columbia Records.
