Flosstradamus y Dillon Francis

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.

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.
