   DJ FRANE: General Info
Member Since1/23/2004
Band Websitefacebook.com/djfrane
Influences Funkadelic, Roger Troutman, Coldcut, Dr. Dre, Joe Cooley, DJ Shadow, DJ Pooh, Jazzy Jeff, Steve Miller Band, Pink Floyd, Public Enemy, The Beatles... you know, shit that sounds effortlessly ingenious. I also get a lot of inspiration from the natural world. And pretty much any song about doing the Smurf.
Sounds LikeI've heard comparisons to Nightmares On Wax, DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Edan, Mr. Scruff, Wax Tailor, Express Rising, Spylab, Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra, Kid Koala, Herbaliser, Pete Rock, Cut Chemist, Hydroponic Sound System, Mark Farina, Dust Brothers, Ras G, DJ Logic, Ian Pooley, Loveage, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Zero 7, RJD2, DJ Yoda, Gorillaz, The Avalanches, Bonobo, Coaxial, CloudDead, Adam F, Malcom Kipe, Little People, Nujabes, Damu the Fudgemunk, Karlophone, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Clutchy Hopkins, Serge Gainsbourg, Jazzanova, Thievery Corporation, Mumbles, Steinski, Coldcut, Aphex Twin, Sixtoo, Z-Trip, Blockhead, Prefuse 73, Portishead, Ratatat, Madlib, DJ Signify, Tycho, Moloko, 60 Channels, Omid, and DJ Nobody. I think of my style more as a mellow, stoned-out version of the Bomb Squad or late 80's Dr. Dre, or maybe Prince Paul meets Pink Floyd. But whatever, I'm not an expert.

[reading from journal] Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no." -Rorschach from "The Watchmen"
