Bio CZ:
Dj Franke vlastnim jmenem Frantisek Urban je rodakem z Liberce, v jeho 15 letech opousti rodne mesto a stehuje se do Ceskeho Brodu. Prvni DJovske kroky v roce 1993 ho zavedly na okolni diskoteky (napr. Bubo-Jirny u Prahy, Maximum- Kolin, Texana-Jinolice u Jicina),kde hraval z CD-disko a house. Vzhledem k tomu ze navstevoval dnes jiz legendarni kluby jako je Nathalie-Kolin, Slunicko-Detsky dum Praha, Ladvi-Praha tak i nase nynejsi predni kluby Roxy a Radost FX, byl ovlivnovan stale vice klubovou scenou a ruznymi styly hudby. V roce 1999 si kupuje sve prvni gramofony a prvni housove desky. Postupem casu pribyvalo desek , avsak ne uz jen housovych ale i techno a samozrejme pribylo kvalitnejsi technicke vybaveni. Franke je perfekcionalista , z jeho setu je citit energie a dynamika.Velky duraz klade na vyvoj setu a dejovost, nabizi aktualni i nejnovejsi desky z oblasti techno sceny. V soucasne dobe tedy hraje predevsim techno , ale obcas i house.
Stale blize a casteji se setkava s Nikou 77@Inigem Kennedym, Agentem, Pavlem Krejdlem, jejichz sety je ovlivnovan dodnes.V roce 2003 se stava clenem Basswave bookingu a v 2005 vstupuje do dalsich dvou bookingu a to do CTRL agency , pod server Sewer.techno.cz.
