DESCRIPTION:
Vocal Tech & House With Harry Romero On Remix Duties - Chilean-born Francisco Allendes returns to Crosstown Rebels for the first time in six years this May. Serving up the three-track What You Do, the title number has already received global airplay via Damian Lazarus himself. Now, the full release will be made available next month and includes a remix by US-legend Harry Romero.
A contemporary dose of four-on-the-floor house, What You Do leaves few prisoners in its wake, as rampant drum patterns converge on a heady combination of kicks, synths and irresistible vocals right the way through. There’s an infectious energy to the track, paving the way for Harry Romero’s similarly up-tempo remix. It’s feel-good, club-ready dance music at its best, packed full of low-slung groove that opens neatly into the closing sequence: Maratone, a stripped-back, techy cut that bears all the hallmarks of a true Ibiza anthem.
Hailing from Chile and now based in Ibiza, Francisco Allendes is a leading light in today’s scene. Be it Loco Dice’s Desolat, Steve Lawler’s VIVA or Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels, his productions have graced some of the industry’s most well-respected labels. Such quality hasn’t gone unnoticed - he picked up the ‘Best Ibiza’ DJ Award in September 2019 and has gone on to complete several South American tours. A much loved affiliate of ANTS, Francisco has a long standing residency at both Ushuaïa in Ibiza and their affiliated tours, in addition to hosting the weekly radio show.
Seminal American house talent Harry Romero is a well-established figure on the worldwide music circuit. A prominent global DJ and producer since the ‘90s, early productions on Cutting Records and Cutting Traxx helped set the tone for Harry’s career trajectory, opening the doors to a coveted BBC Radio 1 ‘Essential Mix’ in recent years.
Following some great releases on top labels like Desolat, Saved Records, Kling Klong and Kaluki Musik, Chilean Francisco Allendes is back with 'What You Do' on Crosstown Rebels. A sweltering house number aimed squarely at the main room, its infectious vocal atop is perfect for getting those heads down on the dancefloor, something that the now Ibiza-based DJ/producer has been an expert at over the last years. Over on the flip, the inimitable Harry Romero takes up remix duties and gets deep, down and dirty as expected, followed by one more original by Allendes in the form of 'Maratone' - a trippy minimal/tech house cut more suited to the afterhours.

Last FM Information on Francisco Allendes
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Francisco Allendes, born in Chile, was introduced to the world of music at the early age of nine when his parents gave him a violin for Christmas. After eight years of classical training and performing with chamber orchestras and folkloric bands, Francisco discovered Progressive Rock and the sound of the synthesizers at the early age of seventeen. The synthesizer was his first contact with electronic instruments, which opened him up to a new world and motivated him to start researching for new sounds.
The obvious next step from producing was to be a DJ. In 2001 he purchased his first Technics and became a DJ. Shortly after that he became part of the professional circle of Chilean DJs.
His first productions triggered prizes and important performances like Love Parade Chile, Creamfields and Love Parade Berlin. In 2005 he moved to Zaragoza, Spain, to develop the duo Monomachine and start releasing on European labels like Immigrant, Catwash, Paradigma and many others.
Upon his return in Chile in 2007, Francisco associated with his long time friend Marcelo Rosselot and started the first vinyl and digital record label based in Chile, Andes Music, in order to promote upcoming South American artists.
Allende's sound and style is evident in tracks like “Espiritu”, released by Kling Klong Records, or the epic tracks “Llovizna”, “El Grillo, el Indio y el Robot” and “El Ladron de Mails”, all of which inspired the major DJs of the movement that played his tracks, and finally he was recruited by the market leader Cadenza Recordings. In 2009 his “Fiebre Amarilla World Tour” allowed him to play all over the world including clubs in Japan, Netherlands, Spain, France, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay. This tour helped him to establish as one of the references and frontrunners among his peers in the industry.
A new episode in his career was marked as Francisco left Santiago de Chile and moved to the location he had been dreaming to be a part of: Ibiza. Upon his arrival, he found his place as resident of Ushuaia, the revelation of the year on the island for underground music, and also became the warm-up DJ for the Cocoon after parties in the beach club. In 2011 his track “Esa Nena Quiere”, released on Steve Lawler's Viva Music, took him to another level as it was played worldwide by DJs from the likes of Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Reboot, Josh Wink, Tania Vulcano and others continuously.
Currently, Allendes shares his time between studio work in Ibiza and spinning records as resident DJ at the new Ushuaia Beach Hotel, as well as resident DJ of the Cocoon Heroes Formentera parties and travelling the world, sharing his sound.
