Francis Inferno Orchestra - The House of Disco Guestmix

With Melbourne being a haven for all things clubbing and house related at the moment, the corresponding plethora of DJ’s and producers that compile the scene are making their mark outside, and spreading the Melbourne gospel further afield. One of the most exciting of these producers is Griffin James, aka Francis Inferno Orchestra, who in the last 6 months has been kicking up a whirlwind of attention in the last few months due to his own slick productions and growing listenership on Soundcloud. Ringing endorsements have come in the form of luminaries such as Mark E spinning his tracks, not to mention the likes of Soul Clap queuing up to do remixes, while Resident Advisor also pointed him out as the one to watch coming out of Melbourne. As a DJ, his Melbourne Deepcast Set was a blistering showcase of his mature appreciation of the finest in house, a sensibility he clearly carries into his production a-game, exhibited by two of this years finer releases, ‘So Divine’ and ‘Meet Me In Salt Lake City’. His production midas touch certainly belies his age, and the appetite for more has definitely been whetted. Thankfully for the House Of Disco, FIO has taken some time out to give a wuick interview on his approach to production and DJing, the Melbourne scene and cap on some of his main influences. He’s also kindly put together a guestmix of some choice cuts for us to enjoy… Make sure to check it out!
