do illegal warehouse parties with a few other djs, where they went
around playing in warehouses up and down the country and then
moving on to sunrise and other major events. that was when he

frankie has also managed to dj, on a regular base in germany, also
at berlin's famous club tresor: for a long time frankie kept
coming back to this legendary venue where he was always given the
possibility to built up the night in his very own way by playing
for long hours. the clubbers were floating around in waves of
grooves, funky beats and some rare dance stuff frankie has
collected over the years and likes bringing back to the people.
frankie has had residencies in londons famous limelight club, in
the west end, also in the famous park club in kensington with noel
watson and matthew b. otherwise known as bushwacka, also at
londons rotary club. the night had it`s main aspect on house &
techy sounds û but always on the funky & groovy side of the music!
