Ascension - Episode 003

Franco Armellini is a Progressive House and Melodic Techno DJ and producer from Rosario, Argentina.

Back in 2014, he started to get involved in electronic music and rapidly realized that he was in front of his biggest dream: being able to transmit from a DJ booth the particular energies that only these genres had ignited in him.

In 2016, he left his hometown to settle in Beijing, China, where he lived for a while in order to assimilate such culture and learn its language. At that time, he also started developing his DJ skills, playing in some unofficial gigs at local pubs and events in the city. Since then, and after another long period residing in Barcelona, Spain, he came back to Rosario, where he spent most of his time producing music and trying to own a name as a DJ in the city.

Due to having played along important and globally acclaimed electronic music names, such as Nick Warren, Henry Saiz, Kamilo Sanclemente, Graziano Raffa, in addition to some other national artists, like Soundexile, Ezequiel Arias, Sebastian Busto, Brigado Crew, Antrim, Paul Deep, among others, Franco began to be renowned in the local scene. In addition, he went on tours to several countries in America and in Europe (Chile, Mexico, USA, Spain, England).

Apart from that, his music receives continuous support from big national and international artists, like Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, DJ Ruby, Simply City, to name a few.

During these times, Franco is fully focused on his artistic development in the global electronic music scene.

This Remix is ​​very special to me. Firstly, it breaks with the structure and sound that has identified me in recent years. Secondly, it has support from legendary artists that I admire, and also in their musical catalogs broadcast very different musical stories from each other. That specific fact fills me as a producer with satisfaction, because it is a clear message. Doing what comes to mind and from our individual creativity, is the only way in music, and every art I think. To know yourself through art.

 From the national flag hometown of Argentina, infused with progressive sounds, comes this Southern Cross son—creator of massive, hypnotic, and explosive atmospheres, combined with deep groovy percussion and enchanting melodies. Franco enters your psyche with clean, progressive mixes that will take you on an intergalactic ride.
 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 musical productions have been released by world-renowned record labels such as 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻, 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗯𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗢𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱, Dreamers by Fernando Ferreyra, Digital Emotions by Fonarev, Electronic Groove, Moonlight and others, and have been continuously supported by prominent and legendary artists, including 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗱, 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻, 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮́𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼, 𝗘𝗲𝗹𝗸𝗲 𝗞𝗹𝗲𝗶𝗷𝗻, 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗢𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱, to name a few. Franco's record-breaking album 'Night Tales' at The Soundgarden reached 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁'𝘀 #2 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in Progressive House. 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."
