Francesco Ballato aka DJ Fran-G was born in 1981. Music has ever been a strong
part in his life. Itís a small wonder that his parents gave him drums and
electronic organ when he was 6 years old. Rhythms and music leaded him into breakdancing.
After 1992 he visited a lot of jams with his friends in several countries like Switzerland,
Germany and his origin country Italy. Founding the ìBasel-City-Attackî-Crew made them win the
swiss championship 1995 in breakdance!
From time to time the interests changed into the black gold ñ the vinyl! Driven from Oldskool a
nd Hip-Hop, he discovered the charme of House Music, which has taken notice by the public in 2000.
In a pretty short time he reached the state a demanded part of Baselís nightlife by playing
regularly in Baselís Clubs (like Borderline, Nordstern, Das Schiff, Bar Rouge, Saxophon,Ö) and
launching his own party series. The contacts were rising and he got the crowds moving on with
his driving rhythms.Fran-G quickly developed preferences and a distinctive style. Once he said:
ìNot only the selection of records is decisive, moreover the connection to the crowds mind,
to feel and celebrate with them. A good timing and changes in between, which defines the style
of a DJ.î But he would never put his style in a drawer. One thing to add: his music is often sexy
and tribalistic Minimal-Techno with influences of House Music, even his giant collection of records
points out much more. Each earned money is spent directly for some new records. Only with this he
could enter some gigs in different clubs all over Switzerland like Club Q (Z¸rich), Ex-Subzero,
Electrokeller (St. Gallen) and many more. With his friend Ivi he runs the studio ìR‰umliî since 2003,
where you always can find him in the weekends, if he doesnít play in any club.
