"It's all about seducing people with my music."

As a DJ, David trusts in his ability to select the perfect blend of sounds to suit the location, the crowd and make the scene complete.
Growing up, he has flirted with his fathers' collection of 70's and 80's music and his fondness for 90's music and bands such as Massive Attack, Moloko and Faithless has sealed his love for electronic music.
Today this translates into sets with groovy bass-lines, sensual synth sounds and of course, a touch of latin drums straight from Argentina, his birth place. He entertains with Deep, Techno, House and variations in between, depending on the event and crowd.
The knowledge gained by studying Classic Composition at the Classical Music University of Argentina allowed David to get a further insight into producing his own music and developing as an artist.
As a recognised member on the Argentinian scene, David played in notorious clubs such as Pacha Buenos Aires, Bahrein (Buenos Aires), Blue Velvet (Rosario), amongst others. 
The response and support he got from his Latin American peers has given David the confidence to expand his work further and establish himself as an artist in London, United Kingdom.

 Franco Armellini is an Argentine-Italian DJ and producer, early influenced by funk rock bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and progressive rock legends like Pink Floyd. Perhaps it is in these musical roots where his unique style resides, making his shows a true blend of genres.

His track 'Twilight Memo' from Twilight Memo EP, released on Perfecto Records, was re-released on a compilation by 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 founded by 𝗗𝗷 𝗧𝗶𝗲̈𝘀𝘁𝗼 himself.
 His distinctive identity has led him to share the stage with great exponents of the world scene such as Nick Warren, Steve Lawler, Henry Saiz, Danny Howells, Pavel Petrov, Paradoks and Stereo Underground, among others, as well as to tour multiple countries across the world.
 One can begin to witness this indelible mark as his highlighted achievements have been showcased by some of the most influential media in the industry, including DJ MAG, Electronic Groove and MixMag.
 Today, Franco continues to develop his sound and delight us with his monthly radio show Ascension, both of which are deeply rooted in the belief that "music, like all forms of art, is a valuable tool for self-knowledge and a beautiful way to transcend."
