If you have ever been on Twitter or Tumblr, chances are you know who Dillon Francis is. His internet presence is enormous and all consuming, and whether you hate it or love it, you cannot deny his massive following. You might even forget that when Dillon isn't pasting his face on the heads of cats or making jokes about "Levels", he's producing musical content that is absolutely impeccable.
Firmly planted in the realm of the now surging genre called "Moombahton", LA native Dillon is a beast in the studio. It all started with a track by the name of "Masta Blasta", which had one very important fan: Diplo.
"Masta Blasta" opened the door for his followup single "IDGAFOS" and OWSLA debut EP "Something, Something, Awesome." to come barreling through. In fact, his EP was so well received that for the first time in Beatport's history, the number one release spot was held by a moombahton artist. His tracks would be heard in countless other artists sets at any show or festival around. The moombahton craze was in full effect thanks in no small part to Dillon's irresistible sound.
Not to settle for one genre, Dillon as of late has embraced another exploding genre, Trap. The addicting combination of Hip-Hop and EDM has already found several monster tracks in Dillon's discography. From being featured on Calvin Harris' album "18 Months" alongside Dizzee Rascal in "Here 2 China" to releasing his "Rebirth" trap remixes of "Masta Blasta" and "Bootleg Fireworks", Dillon has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in any genre he touches.
With an absolutely incredible resume built already, and a live show you'll never forget (Just go to one), Dillon Francis' name is going to be around for quite some time. And rightfully so.
Oh yeah, he's also hilarious.
