DILLON FRANCIS UNVEILS “THE SOUND” WITH JULIAN JORDAN

TO GO B2B OCTOBER 17 AT AFAS LIVE DURING AMSTERDAM DANCE EVENT

August 30, 2024—Today, superstar producer, songwriter and DJ Dillon Francis unveils a new track, “The Sound,” with acclaimed Dutch producer and DJ Julian Jordan ahead of their b2b set on October 17 at AFAS Live during Amsterdam Dance Event—listen HERE.

“I've known Dillon for 12 years now and we FINALLY managed to finish a track together,” Julian Jordan says. “‘The Sound’ immediately felt perfect - we started it last year in Amsterdam during ADE, and now about one year later we announced the release and our b2b during ADE, very hyped for all of it.”

The new song follows a string of collaborative singles from Dillon this year including “Take Me Away” with longstoryshort, “Nobody Likes The Records That I Play” with Netsky, “Bad Cop” with VINNE, “Don’t Waste My Time” with Sophie Powers, “Whole Lotta Drugs” and “Over The Edge” with Ship Wrek, “Waterfall” with Drove, “Close Your Eyes” with Matt Sassari and James Carter, “Pretty Low” with Galantis and Arden Jones and Pero Like, a collaborative EP with Good Times Ahead.

At the end of 2023, Dillon released This Mixtape is Fire TOO, the long-awaited sequel to 2015’s This Mixtape Is Fire, a Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart #1 that found Dillon giving the moombahton genre a much-needed rejuvenation. He followed the album up with These Remixes Are Fire TOO, featuring reworks of album tracks by Knock2, Devault, Zomboy, Tisoki and more.

Dillon Francis has been making waves in dance music and beyond for more than a decade, bursting on to the scene in the early 2010s with a series of underground hits. He’s released a number of widely acclaimed full-length projects, including the 2014 major label debut Money Sucks, Friends Rule, 2015’s This Mixtape Is Fire, 2018’s WUT WUT—a Spanish-language LP featuring some of the biggest names in Latin music, the 2019 mixtape Magic Is Real, Happy Machine in 2021 and This Mixtape is Fire TOO in 2023. Dillon continues to tour the world over and, beyond music, has starred in the Funny Or Die series “Like and Subscribe” and Viceland’s “What Would Diplo Do?” with additional projects in development.

Julian Jordan’s rapid ascent through the dance music world has been something to behold. With a nomination for Best Dutch Act at the MTV EMAs and a monthly residency at Las Vegas’ prestigious Omnia, he’s signed to Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS, is a regular at world-leading festivals like Tomorrowland, Creamfields and Ultra Miami and has graced the stages at Sziget, Mysteryland, Lollapalooza and many more. After collabs with friends like Timmy Trumpet, Tiësto and Martin Garrix and smooth crossovers, he even became the first EDM artist ever to receive approval from the legendary eighties group Tears for Fears to remix the classic “Shout,” which climbed the charts for several months worldwide.
