I profiled this fella Dillon Francis earlier this year after his SXSW performance. Since then his profile has continued to rise with a cross-eyed music video, new productions and continued world touring. Tomorrow he will likely drop a moombahton-centric dj set at Beauty Bar–the perfect soundtrack/setting for a sweaty, sultry summer night. See you there? Here are a few new DF tracks making the internet rounds.
So I’m starting to get really into this whole dark r+b, grime, house, dubstep, uk underground, uk funky, garage type stuff that is largely influenced by UK artists and labels the past few years. I don’t know a ton about the scene, but I do know that there are certain artists that I am getting really excited about. One of them is Kingdom, who is probably the special guest referenced in the flier above. I figured this out because I am really smart and also because I know he is signed to the UK label Night Slugs and NYC label Fool’s Gold and just started his own label called Fade to Mind. Oh yeah, also local dj Orion blew the “secret” today on his twitter. Either way I’m super stoked about it because of super fresh songs I just discovered like this and this and this. Check out this cool Scion A/V interview with Kingdom here. The show appears to be free at Beauty Bar tomorrow, so that’s cool. Dubbel Dutch is another housey grimey dubsteppey type who actually lives in Austin now. I don’t know much about him, but I’ll be sure to catch his set tomorrow as well. See you there!
