UME Pre-Party Artist Profile: Dillon Francis

When 24-year old, LA-based producing DJ, Dillon Francis first broke out on the scene, his tracks became an instant underground sensation. Dancehall vibes “Westside” and “Masta Blasta” landed Dillon in the category of being one of the pioneers of the moombahton movement. After his first official release on Mad Decent, he continued on to collaborate and remix for artists like Steve Aoki, Calvin Harris, and Diplo, just to name a few. His first dubstep release on Play Me Records,”Take Me High,” not only peaked at #13 on Beatport’s dubstep chart, but was also a staple in every one of Rusko’s sets on his OMG Tour.

With a slew of successful releases, it’s easy to see why Dillon caught the attention of many top-players so early in his career. Part viral video maker, and part musician, you can catch Dillon Francis behind the turntables on his first headlining tour, the Wurld Tour, with Flosstradamus, Baauer, and RL Grime, OR, you can catch his set at Clayton’s Beach Resort Hotel for the Official UME Pre-Party Tonight!

Tickets are still available for the Ultimate Music Experience Pre-Party, but you have to act fast! Grab your tickets now!

Presenting the Dirty South Speed of Life Tour!

Producing DJ, Dragan Roganovic, or Dirty South, has had quite the journey experimenting with sound throughout his lifetime, improvising mixing with turntables for mixing with tape decks at just the ripe age of 13. As he grew older, his appetite for production grew as well, intently working on remixes and mashups of other artists’ tracks and as a result, 2004 saw the first release under the moniker Dirty South. Moreover, Dragan distributed his own productions worldwide, and in doing so, eventually caught the eye of Australian Vicious Vinyl Records, who went on to sign him in 2005. Shortly there after, came an influx of releases and remixes, all adorning the Dirty South name.

Known for memorable anthems like “Open Your Heart” with Axwell and “How Soon Is Now” with David Guetta and Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South is definitely a staple on the iPod of any dance music fan. As a producer, he has been nominated for and won a numerous amount of awards and accolades including being nominated for a Grammy twice and having many releases called an “Essential New Tune,” by the legendary Pete Tong. Currently, Dirty South has just released his brand new artist album, Speed of Life. And by recently, we mean only days ago. Currently sitting at the #2 position on iTunes overall Dance chart, Speed of Life is inspired by his many adventures around the world, coincidentally, the album was made almost entirely on the road. And with the announcement of his North American tour and an impending Essential Mix coming out later this year, 2013 looks to be the year of the Dragan. Follow along with Disco Donnie Presents as we go phazing a million miles away to a city near you!

Magnetic Music Festival Artist Profiles: Zeds Dead

“Whose chopper is this?”
“It’s Zed’s.”
“Who’s Zed?”
“Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.”

While the name “Zeds Dead” is a reference to a classic scene in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction, it is also a monogram for the members’ names, Zack and Dylan. Dylan Mamid, artist name DC, and Zack Rapp-Rovan, artist name Hooks, are the duo behind the Canadian dance music outfit, Zeds Dead. The two first paired together in 2004 when they formed their original group, Mass Productions–a group that was heavily influenced by sampling hip-hop. The only releases Mass Productions has to date, is their album out in 2007 entitled, Fresh Beetz. Looking at our lineup, clearly we like fresh beats as well, but we’re glad they decided to scrap Plan A move on to Plan Zed.

The summer of 2009 in Toronto, Ontario would see the boys’ first outing as Zeds Dead. DC and Hooks had been working on creating electronic beats, and showcased their tracks at their debut performance at The Social in 2009. About a year later, Zeds Dead was booked as a weekly for a gig in Toronto, called “Bassmentality.” The two would go on to release a track by the same name in 2011 as a tribute to the friends and fans who were involved.

Still high on the success of their Hot Sauce EP out on Mad Decent, and with an impending performance in June in Afghanistan alongside Kid Rock and Garth Brooks, 2013 is shaping to be the most exciting year for the boys. We are glad to have them join our inaugural lineup on April 20th, for the Magnetic Music Festival in Atlanta, Georgia!
