Dillon Francis. It’s a name almost synonymous with the term ‘Dance Music,’ and it’s one that’s graced charts, lineups and stages all across the world. The EDM veteran has done just about all there is to do in the ionosphere of the music industry, whether it’s sell out shows or drop multi-platinum hits. The man literally doesn’t miss, and it seems not even a pandemic can slow him down, the Los Angeles megastar poised to end 2021 on highs upon highs in the form of, you guessed it, bangers upon bangers.
His latest single ‘Reaching Out’ ft. Bow Anderson is a continued showcase of his mastery of dance and feeling. The vibrant synth lines atop larger than life drops and drum-patterns electrify you into a world beyond your own, capturing that unmistakable euphoria that emanates from any summer-dance floor or mosh pit. It might be a little while longer until we can experience those very moments again, but we’ve got ‘Reaching Out’ to tide us over in the meantime, along with Franis’ recently announced album Happy Machine, which is out now October 5th.
We caught up with Dillon ahead of the release of ‘Reaching Out’ as well as the announcement of the upcoming LP. Check it below.
I tried to think about what would help bring everyone to their happiest place.
Bow really made this record come to life, her energy was the perfect fit.
Bow brought her personality to it for sure, but it was truly a collaborative effort from start to finish.
We all needed something positive to look forward to, so not only was making this music a joyful experience for me personally, but the main goal was trying to bring everyone a little bit of happiness.
Happy Machine is just such a focused album for me so a lot of the inspiration came from knowing what I wanted the end product to be. I can’t wait for everyone to spend time with it…and yes there’s a lot more music to come!
Happy Machine sets the tone for what’s been inspiring me recently and what I’m gonna really be focusing on moving forward.
