Highlighting the talents and experiences of his African collaborators, ‘Kamili’ brings diverse sounds and cultures together on the dancefloor in the unique way that Francis has mastered. The track features production by Zimbabwe’s pioneering producer/DJ Nitefreak and Swahilian vocals by accomplished Kenyan percussionist, performer, and teacher, Idd Aziz. A mesmerizing bassline and beautiful production underscore Idd’s haunting lyrics, yearning for his brother to come home after being missing for 20 years.
A world-renowned DJ and the Co-Founder of Forbes-recognized, Black-owned label Deep Root Records, Francis is often referred to as “the next Black Coffee”. Garnering 15M+ streams across all music platforms, Francis brings together African and Caribbean artists & sounds in a unique way that has never been done before in underground dance – by merging worldly elements with emotive vocal influences, as heard on his single ‘Sete.’ The track was named one of Billboard’s Top Dance Tracks of 2022 and reached Spotify’s Viral Top 5 & Shazam’s Top 50 Global Discovery.
Francis’s music is consistently spun by luminaries such as Diplo, Black Coffee, RUFUS DU SOL, Gorgon City, Keinemusik, Tiesto, Pete Tong, and more. His infectious performance slots at EDC, Pacha Ibiza, Tulum’s Zamna, and even Formula 1 in Montreal, have captivated audiences across the globe.
2023 is set to be a monumental year for Francis, kicking off with a slot beside Diplo in Tulum on January 10th. Francis will also play his first set in the highly coveted Yuma Tent at Coachella in 2023 for two consecutive weekends.
