Session #81 (Feat. French Toast)

French Toast (London, England) French Toast a.k.a. Frank McWeeny is an upbeat jumble of infectious disco and house that’s tailored to kick up a storm on the dancefloor. He has been defining his path as a radio presenter and club DJ ever since he was old enough to get into a studio. His early love of funk, disco and soul was discovered rooting through his dad’s vinyl collection, and that love now pervades not only his selections but his outlook too. Half English, half French, Frank cut his teeth on French local radio before moving to London to learn to DJ and refine his presenting skills. He quickly setup French Toast Radio showcasing his latest groove, disco and funk-infused House music. After receiving praise from Annie Mac for his rapid progress, Frank went on to work with the legendary Gilles Peterson, who gave him his blueprint. The success of French Toast radio didn't go unnoticed, and in 2015 DJ Mag approached Frank & asked him to host their new underground radio show. Taking his love for all things groovy onto the dancefloor, Frank can be seen sharing his infectious grooves at home & abroad. The pull of audiences further afield have seen him take to the booth in Spain and France, at the prestigious Trans Musicales festival, and beyond at Iceland's Secret Solstice Festival, Shanghai's renowned Arkham club and Verboten in New York. With a constant eye on the diversity of global dance music stories to be told, recent exciting commissions include a mini documentary for BBC World Service Radio about his tours in China and India.
