Francis released his first EP in 2010 called “Swashbuckler”. After this release he caught the attention of the praised American DJ, Diplo, who later signed Francis to his label Mad Decent. Francis soon collaborated with Diplo on the track “Que Que”, which featured pumping bass lines and samples of Spanish dance rhythms and vocals.

In 2011 he released his first EP on Mad Decent labeled “Westside!”. That year he also released the single “IDGAFOS”, which features samples of Adam Levine’s vocals on the Gym Class Heroes’ song “Stereo Hearts”. The song was a great success for Francis, topping the charts of the blog Hype Machine. The song was also used in a highly televised advertisement for the 2014 Super Bowl. In 2011 he also self-released the EP “Ultra” with Cory Enemy as well as the EP Bossa Rocka through the label Top Billin.
Through his 2012 release “Something, Something, Awesome” he became the first moombahton artist to be featured on the top of the Beatport chart. The EP was released through Skrillex’s record label OWSLA and featured a collaboration with electronic music producer Jake Stanczak – aka – Kill the Noise. In 2012 he also headlined a major tour as well as supported main acts like Nero and Flux Pavilion.
In 2013 he released the singles “Messages”, “Flight 4555 (IDGAFOS 3.0)”, and “Without You”. He also was listed on MTV Clubland’s Artists to watch in 2013. In 2013 he was also labeled as the No. 73 DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll. In 2014 he released the hit single “Get Low” with DJ Snake, which immediately became a sensation in European night clubs. This same year he also released his debut album “Money Sucks, Friends Rule”, which was released through Columbia Records. The album contained collaborations with a wide variety of artists like Major Lazer, Twista, and Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie. The album did significantly well on the charts reaching the No. 40 position on the US Billboard 200 and the No. 2 spot on the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
Apart from music Francis has been involved in the comedy production Meowski666 with Kill the Noise. Francis has also performed at a wide list of festivals such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Camp Bisco, Ultra, and TomorrowWorld. He has also remixed many artists’ music such as CSS, Calvin Harris, and Robyn.
Josh Young (J2K) and Curt Cameruci (DJ Autobot) have been making music together since 2006, when they began their career writing remixes together. It all really kicked off when they had the incredible opportunity to open for Chromeo on an international tour, entitled the “Fancy Footwork tour”. They built up their reputation as one of the leading Dancehall DJ Outfits of the present day, wherever they go, making people get up out of their seats to dance.
They began to put together original material, which would go on to gain them a loyal international following. They also collaborated with NIKE + to create a mix tape of new De La Soul Material. But it doesn’t stop there! They’ve also appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and the Nick Jr. program Yo Gabba Gabba! And have not only toured with but have collaborated with Kid Sister, Diplo, Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J, The cool Kids, and A-Trak.
Floss’s draw on crowds at festivals is something that they have such a good reputation for, making people dance wherever they go in the world, inviting and luring punters in to their original world of EDM music which is still building their following up to this day.
Rednecks, Beer, Stetsons, flannel shirts, denim jeans; just a few of the many things that made up this crowd in Knoxville, Tennessee, a city where one can soak up that all authentic country feeling. This crowd was of course waiting for Country Music Awards 'New Artist of the Year 2014' winner, Justin Moore to hit the stage.
What makes country music so unique and special is that there is no need for anything fancy, all you need are a couple of guitars, a bass, a drum kit, a few beers and a stage to perform on. It was all about the music and having a good time, an idea that was made clear through Moore’s set.
Although a new artist on the country scene, Moore has three studio albums out and is currently promoting the third album ‘Off the Beaten Path’. An album full of hip moving, country loving hits such as, ‘Points at You’ and ‘Lettin' the Night Roll’ before moving on to his more popular hits like ‘Til My Last Day’ and ‘Small Town USA’ that got the crowd moving, clapping and singing along to create a memorable night for everyone.
As an Englishman it was an absolute joy to be, for one night, part of such a rich American culture delivered by a truly exciting country performer that is, Justin Moore. Yee-Haw!

Like a lot of the concerts I've been to, my friends were the ones who talked me in to go see Flosstradamus with them. I had heard of him at the time, but I never really listened to his music.
I had absolutely no idea how popular this dude was, and at the time, I had no idea how popular EDM music was. The stadium we went to was packed and ever since then, I have heard so many people talking about EDM, recommending people different EDM tracks, its crazy.
Anyway, the concert was AMAZING. Usually, the concerts I go to just consist of the rappers, singers, backup dancers, and drummers on stage, sometimes with a lot of flashy strobe lights and special effects. This concert was so much different. For one, the jumbotron was HUGE and was playing trippy animations, which was pretty cool. The music was amazing as well and got me hooked on EDM and trap music. I don't know how this dude does it, but the beats are just amazing and you can't help bobbing your head to them. The amount of lights and special effects was just insane, I have never seen anything like it before. The crowd was wild, and a lot of them were doing drugs out in the open, not that I mind. Overall, GREAT performance, great music.
