DJ FRANE
DJ FRANE has toured the world with funk legend
Blowfly,
collaborated with the funk supergroup Mandrill, and his "existential
turntablism" has earned him praise from Wax Poetics, Urb, Vice,
High Times, and a host of other magazines.
He is also known for his all-vinyl sets at spots like Funkmosphere and SuperCuts. From an
OC Weekly review of Frane's set at the Continental Room:
"DJ
Frane put on a master class of funk and turntablism (a panalopy of
scratches that was tight and acrobatic, including the soleful toe
scratch) that had jaws tattooing the dance floor as often as feet.
Frane's selections combined the obscure (uh, I'm having trouble
identifying them -- that's how obscure they were) with the well-known (
Funkadelic,
James Brown,
Rick James,
The Time), with the quality uniformly high no matter where in the
crates he dug...but the night's highlight came when Frane started
scratching Prince's 'Head' with his mouth. Talk about being
thematically correct
and amazingly dexterous..."
