Towards the end of the summer, a Facebook event for The FranDisco’s @ Social Monday Meetings came up. Never having heard of this duo before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. With everyone in Toronto becoming a DJ in the last year I was expecting to see another laptop and hear a bunch of simple filter sweeps etc on the mixer. Much to my surprise, that was not what I was in for. The FranDiscos arrived with crates in hand, a laptop with Serrato just in case the track wasn’t available on vinyl and the ability to rip the dancefloor to pieces with their track selection. Since then, they have become local Toronto favorites garnering compliments from the most critical critics. While the mixtape might be Fuck Tha Haters, the truth its, everyone who loves to hate, hates that they love The FranDiscos.
They’ve been booked at most major hot spots here in the city of Toronto. Currently they reside at Shallow Groove on Friday nights, from what I hear the night has been taking off. They will be taking the stage this Monday at The Social, the spot where there rise to sudden local fame began.
