About Me


DJ Rob Francis

I am next playing out at Refunkt at the White House in Clapham, London on 8th August. I will be alongside other Point Blank FM DJs such as the Vice Squad, Lone Ranger, Dazzla, Marie-Chantal, Chris Lambert and Gary Spires.
I have just completed a remix of Barber's Adagio for Strings; check out the remix in the music player above - its called Adagio for Bleeps!
You can find me on Point Blank FM every Wendesday from 20:00 - 22:00 GMT; you can find the station here www.pointblank.fm and on MySpace at www.myspace.com/pointblankfm. If you live in or near London you can also catch us on 90.2FM and 103.6FM. I play a mixture of tech-house, breaks, house and various other electronica.
There is a new mix available for download from www.pointblank.fm. Go to the Members Area, then the Downloads section. Let me know what you think, feedback is always welcome!
I have had success with two of my earlier tracks, "Electrofunk" and "Shuffler"; both of these tracks were released commercially, and Electrofunk made it onto the One Music show on Radio 1 and was chosen as an example track to use for their VJing competition.
I have played out in various clubs and bars over the years, for nights such as Tukai and Bloom. The highlight has to be playing at The End, see the photos above.
