FRANKYEFFE – Riot Recordings

FRANKYEFFE

Traversing the winding passages of his own cavernous capabilities, prolific Italian DJ,

producer and label owner Frankyeffe – real name Francesco Fava – is well on his way to

reaching the peak of his towering potential. Since his career’s 2001 inception, he’s

wandered some of the darkest corners of melodic techno, injecting innovation and

amplitude and gradually cementing himself as a true master within his own class.

Initially rising to prominence behind the decks of Rome’s renowned Rashomon Club, for

three consecutive seasons, the venue’s intimate interior provided a vast canvas for

Frankyeffe to draw upon. Soon sparking the interests of a wider audience, he’s since

reached international recognition playing at various Mutate events in Naples, the Audio

Club in Geneva, Germany’s Audiogate festival in 2017 and a monster slot on the Pryda stage

at 2018’s instalment of Tomorrowland in Belgium. Stretching his reach further to high

profile gigs in the UK, Holland, Portugal, Spain, Columbia and China his music is fast

becoming a global force to be reckoned with.

Helping to inspire other artist’s talent and creativity, Frankyeffe’s fierce DIY ethos is

embodied by his own Riot Recordings label where he’s simultaneously put out a number of

his own releases including his name making 2015 debut album, Trenta along with a handful

of other flourishing and deserved artists – Teenage Mutants, Maksim Dark, Heerhorst

and Spartaque to name a few. He’s worked alongside the likes of Enrico Sangiuliano –

winner of ‘Best Producer’ at the 2019 DJ Awards – as well as been featured on established

imprints that span Noir, Kraftek, We Are The Brave, Senso Sounds and Terminal M.

With an exciting schedule already underway, Frankyeffe has a busy year ahead with a string

of tour dates and releases on Senso Sounds and his own Riot Recordings ready to drop in

early 2020. Well set on the highroad to stardom, 2020 will be a crucial year for this buzzing

techno talent.
