Fran Bortolossi Live @ 5uinto - Brasilia. June 2023

Set recorded live at Las Palapas - Mendoza - Argentina. Playing this past Saturday evening, into the Andes Mountains. One of the most beautiful places I ever played. Felt inspired from the amazing nature around me, and tried to play some of the tracks I love and collect through the years and didn't put out into other mixes... Started from deep house welcoming everybody arriving, going to House Music to make the party happen and people dance.
Playing before Kolombo, and then we finish going back to back for the last two hours of the event. Hope you enjoy this first 2h I played as much as I enjoyed.

Gravado ao vivo na noite em que abri o templo — 4 horas de música, construindo e progredindo até entregar a pista para Dennis Cruz.

Começo sutil, explorando texturas e grooves, preparando a pista devagar. Aos poucos, o som ganha intensidade. Uma jornada de aquecimento pensada para respeitar o espaço, criar conexão e elevar a energia.

🎧 Live Set @ Warung Beach Club
Recorded live on the night I opened the temple — 4 hours of music, carefully building each moment before handing over the dancefloor to Dennis Cruz.

It starts subtly, exploring textures and grooves, preparing the floor slowly. Gradually, the sound gains body and intensity. A warm-up journey crafted to respect the space, create connection, and raise the energy with intention.

This set is about timing, atmosphere, and delivery.

Fran Bortolossi live @ Warung Beach Club Closing Summer 2025 with Dennis Cruz (house set)

Las Palapas — Potrerillos, Mendoza.

Mais uma tarde especial em Las Palapas, cenário único, e definitivamente um dos mais lindos que toco todos os anos. Tem algo mágico em tocar durante o dia, com a luz do sol, aos pés das cordilheiras dos Andes. Preparei um set focado nas vertentes do Deep House, com espaço para algumas produções autorais que ainda serão lançadas.

Obrigado, Mendoza. Até a próxima.

Heels of Love continues to expand its sonic universe with Phones Away, the label’s fourth release, signed by Fran Bortolossi and Danish DJ/producer NILU.

With nearly two decades in the game, Fran Bortolossi stands as one of the driving forces of Brazil's electronic music scene, whether through his presence on the decks, his Colours party (a major reference in the south of the country), or his releases on labels like Warung Recordings, Otherwise, and Get Physical. On the flip side, NILU brings the originality of his deep and melodic signature straight from the Copenhagen nightlife, with music already recognized by imprints such as Einmusika, Fluxo, and Bunny Tiger.

The EP features two tracks aimed at different dancefloor moods. The title track “Phones Away” flirts with Indie Dance nuances through an engaging melodic structure, marked by strings recorded by Fran himself, a robust bassline, and vocal cuts that deepen the narrative.
“The Basement” heads into more intense territory, with acid-leaning synths, high-energy vocal chops, and a peak-time-ready structure - leaning into a more techy and powerful atmosphere.

Otherwise | [OWR052] Fran Bortolossi - Stop That Record, And Rewind That!

Otherwise Records presents “Stop That Record, And Rewind That!”, the latest EP by DJ,
producer, and label manager Fran Bortolossi. Featuring 3 original tracks — “Stop That Record,
And Rewind That!”, “Music All Night Long” and “Don’t Do It” — the release navigates the
intersection of Indie Dance and Nu Disco, where arrangement choices push the tension between
memory and motion, the dancefloor and immersive listening.
The title track builds around vocal cuts that operate like rhythmic triggers, layered over modulated
basslines and spacious percussion in a structure that nods to the past without falling into
nostalgia. “Music All Night Long” leans into a looser, more fluid framework, led by textures
reminiscent of early Daft Punk — channeling club hedonism with restraint. Closing the EP, “Don’t
Do It” takes a more direct route, fusing groove and harmonic fragments, anchored by a filtered
vocal that emerges with a confessional tone.
With this release, Fran Bortolossi continues to refine his sonic language — one rooted in
deliberate timbral choices and structures that emphasize internal movement. Stop That Record,
And Rewind That! sits within the Otherwise catalog as a contemporary reading of the dialogue
between form and function, expanding the ways sound can inhabit space with clarity and control.
Mixed and produced by Francisco Bortolossi aka Fran Bortolossi, published by copyright control.

Fran Bortolossi Live @ Warung Beach Club - January.2017

(Warung Rec, Get Physical, Otherwise Records)

The south is the perfect place for fans of electronic music in Brazil. The culture of clubs and festivals has developed tremendously throughout the last decade and Fran Bortolossi stands out as one of the main characters responsible for this
growth, as well as one of its most talented artists.

Francisco began playing in 2006 in the region known as Serra Gaucha, after growing up surrounded by music: his mother is a pianist and has been a major influence in Fran’s understanding of his great passion. In 2009, the DJ started to promote and DJ in parties dedicated to the music he and his friends were into, and this is how COLOURS was born, nowadays a label party of major importance, which has held close to 100 editions within the limits of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

In addition to the events that made him acknowledged by the peers in his country, Fran’s talent is also seen as a DJ: his residence of more than five years at the Havana club in Caxias do Sul has given him experience that led his to play in major festivals such as Tomorrowland Brasil, parties during the Off Sónar and
Amsterdam Dance Event, as well as clubs like D-Edge, Warung and Vibe (in
Brazil) as well as Crobar (Arg) and Ritter Butzke (Ger). As a music producer, Fran has released music in labels such as LouLou Records and Warung Recordings. From event production to music making, Fran Bortolossi’s name is instantly related to talent and commitment to the Brazilian electronic music scene.

O Sul do Brasil é um local privilegiado para os fãs da música eletrônica: clubes, festivais e uma cultura que na última década se fortaleceu muito compõem um cenário rico e em franco crescimento – e é dele que o gaúcho Fran Bortolossi surge como um dos mais talentosos protagonistas.

Fran começou a tocar no ano de 2006 na Serra Gaúcha, após uma infância cercada por música: sua mãe é pianista e desde cedo influenciou o filho a entender aquilo que aos poucos foi se revelando sua grande paixão. Em 2009 o DJ passou a fazer festas com a música que ele e seus amigos curtiam e desta inciativa nasceu a COLOURS, festa itinerante que já teve mais de 40 edições entre o Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina e que hoje é uma referência nacional em produção e curadoria.

Além dos eventos que produz, o talento de Fran também foi se revelando nas mixagens e na construção de sets de House Music: sua residência de mais de 5 anos no clube Havana, em Caxias do Sul, lhe rendeu experiência para que hoje pudesse apresentar seu som em grandes festivais como a XXXPerience e o Winter Festival, além de clubes brasileiros do porte de D-Edge (SP), Warung (SC) e Vibe (PR). Em 2013, ao lado do também DJ e produtor Vini  Ferreira, Fran deu início ao projeto “BigPacGang”, que em 2014 lançou sua primeira faixa própria além de assinar um remix para os belgas LouLou Players e Kolombo.

No comando das pistas, à frente da produção de eventos ou dentro dos estúdios, o nome de Fran Bortolossi representa talento e comprometimento com a boa música eletrônica.
