Sharing something new, yet deeply familiar.
This is my first time posting an ethnic electronic set, a sound I’ve been drawn to for years, quietly woven into my life, now finding its way into the open.

Recorded after a deep Blue Lotus ceremony in the heart of the Riyadh desert, this set is a slow, immersive journey, downtempo, textured, and designed to pull you inward. A blend of uplifting and grounding energies.

The background you see is the actual desert we stood on, reimagined through AI, but real in essence.
Grateful to finally share this space and sound.

“I don’t like to limit myself by sticking to one particular genre. Genres can sometimes box artists in, pushing them to stick to a specific sound just to maintain a certain image or brand. But I believe music is much more than that. It’s about expression, connection, and creativity. I want to break those rules, to create something that feels real and spontaneous, not confined by labels”.

Emerging from the magnetic pulse of Ibiza and thriving in Berlin’s underground, Franko Muçaj is more than just a DJ—he’s a storyteller through sound. With a foundation rooted in house, tech house, and deep house, his sets are rich in driving basslines and captivating vocals, drawing listeners into a unique experience.

Franko takes the audience on a musical journey, smoothly mixing different styles of house music to create an exciting and dynamic set. Each track has the power to shift the mood, adding an element of surprise that mirrors the spontaneity and thrill of life itself. It’s this sense of unpredictability that drives Franko—he lives for that one track that has the power to change the dynamic of the night and lead the listener into the unknown.

Now based in Berlin, Franko continues to make waves at venues and events such as Noire Berlin, Smile Festival, Amano East Side, Suess War Gestern, Ava Club and Bredouille Bar. His international reach spans European hubs, such as Barcelona, Amsterdam or Wroclaw, playing music in renowed events such as Amsterdam Dance Event, or in more underground venues, as House Tęczowa or Garage 442. 

For Franko, DJing is more than just playing music. From his earliest days, the connection with the crowd has been his greatest inspiration, a shared energy that goes beyond words. With every performance, Franko Muçaj transforms dancefloors into vibrant stories, where music becomes the language that unites us all.

I make music for my own pleasure, I don’t strive for fame, I don’t follow stereotypes and stupid fashion
