While Tom Wax took his way via techno und electro from scratch in the late 80s, Franksen loves his 90s house und US deephouse structures. Their fusion: Driving house and techhouse beats, organic percussions, electronic funk or global vibes, it’s all in there. The strict goes with the playful, the rhythmic with the melodic and the organic with the electronic.

For five years Tom presented the weekly show SOUNDS at Frankfurt’s public radio YOU FM. As a radio-host Tom’s playlists boast cool contemporary techy clubsounds between trend und tradition. Today he is host of the “PHUTURE SOUNDS” Radioshow on Big City Beats keepin’ up the proper work with his well chosen guests from Ellen Alien to Gregor Tresher or from Nick Curly to Super Flu!

Franksen is „On Air“ since 8 years, hosting Germany’s longest-running dj-radioshow. Today’s YOU FM CLUBNIGHT offers all the flavours of house- and techhouse: with groovy tracks, a vibrant presentation and well-chosen guests. From Jamie Jones to Loco Dice or from John Dalbäck to Johnny D., just to name a few from last year’s live guests at Franksen’s studio.
