While Dillon Francis is from LA, he shares a special connection with D.C.—Francis is one of the pioneers of the moombahton sound that originated in this area. His moombahton ambitions began when another artist slowed down one of his tracks, “Masta Blasta.” Francis dropped his BPMs and hasn’t looked back. He has collaborated with some of the biggest musicians in the EDM genre, including Diplo and Calvin Harris. After releasing countless singles and EPs on labels like Mad Decent and Skrillex’s OWSLA, Francis will drop his debut EP sometime this year. Francis is currently on his “Wurld Turr” with a stop at the 9:30 Club tonight. Today’s Song of the Day is a rework of his track “Bootleg Fireworks (Burning Up) (The Rebirth)” that was released earlier this year. The track is full of peaks that launch into the sweet drops sure to get people moving.

Dillon Francis plays tonight with Oliver at the 9:30 Club. Tickets are $20.
