It is in the early 90’s when Francesco Poggi launched his career as a DJ in Italy’s hottest nightclubs, featuring well-known outdoor events such as ‘DJ French’.
Not stopping at the Mediterranean scene, Francesco decided to go global and flew his decks and records over to London where he decided to reside by 2004 as his style and potential grew to become unmatched. It is in the East that Francesco found his feet and the trendy Brick Lane clubbers gave him a warm welcome and somehow developed an ‘addiction’ for DJ Francesco Poggi’s music.
Within months Francesco and his fellow music makers were creating clandestine events all over East London and the ‘Whisper Party’ emerged where the group where able to mould and define their own musical style. Poggi and his crew used their vast array of musical interests as an influence to create something new and unique on the electronic panorama and incorporated minimal, electro, break beats and all sorts of other weird and wonderful sounds to really stimulate their crowd.
Not satisfied with it, Francesco progressed onwards to form the “Forbidden Fruit’ party, and from there things just spiralled ‘rhythmically’ out of control as the mob just grew wilder and wilder for Poggi music...
The atmosphere was thickening as Francesco’s reputation was headed for not just a class act DJ, but rather, for a World Class DJ.
Recognising that electronic music was spreading across the seas Francesco kept his record bags packed and flew out with London Insomnia, where he is now resident DJ. He shared his tracks and unmatchable musical charisma with the likes of the one and only ‘Privilege’ in Ibiza, “ Ministry of sound” London and many other International leading nightclubs as listed below. Francesco found himself playing from the Balkans to the Balearics and latin America whilst also going back and forth from Italy to London and really anchored himself in as an International musician… and for him this is still just the beginning!
Francesco is focussed on producing his own music with his colleague and stage brother Fabiano Binaglia where they are working on their own project ‘ViruStage’

- most commun question to Francesco: What kind of music do you play?
- Answer: Everything that I like, it can be minimal, techno, progressive house, tech house...(of course matching)I''m playing what is good for me and for the crowd at that moment, everything that gives emotions, good vibes and connection between me and the dancefloor… I like to call it underground music…
