In less than a year his blistering productions have been heavily supported by Major Lazer, who opened their show with “Westside!,” a Dutch House-flavored monster that was consistently rinsed by top djs on both sides of the pond, including Sinden and Steve Aoki.
The tune is finally seeing a proper release on Diplo’s Mad Decent label, where Dillon will be releasing his “Masta Blasta” EP as well in the near future. From his first dubstep release on Play Me Records, the heavy “Take Me High” peaked at No. 13 on the Beatport dubstep chart and was played in full by Rusko in every one of his sets for his current OMG tour.
In the coming months, Dillon will have releases on Mad Decent, Dim Mak, Top Billin’, as well as Plant Music, where he will be releasing his next club EP. At ease behind the turntables and in the studio, in the electro world and in dubstep, Dillon is what you would call an open-format electronic DJ who sees no delineation between making music and playing it.
He has gotten huge support from the most important dance music blogs (Dim Mak, Mad Decent, Discobelle, Gotta Dance Dirty) ever since releasing his first bootlegs last year, and 2011 promises to be Dillon’s breakout year.
Without You
Dillon Francis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you know I'll never let you go
Ain't nobody there to talk to
Nobody's at home and this heart might deform you
You can see the bright side
Of waking up and being alone
If only you could see the future is all yours now
'Cause I know I'll be higher without you now
Keeping I will last somehow
Oh, you'll be lighter without me girl
Feeling alright somehow
I'll be high without you now
Keeping I will last somehow
Oh, you be light without me
Feeling alright somehow
'Cause I know I'll be higher without you
Higher on my own
You'll be higher without me
Higher on your own
Higher without you now
Keeping up with life somehow
Oh, you be lighter without me girl
Feeling alright somehow
I'll be higher without you now
Keeping up with life somehow
Oh, you be lighter without me girl
Feeling alright somehow
Feeling alright somehow
Feeling alright somehow
You can hold on if you want to
But you know I'll never let you go
Ain't nobody there to talk to
Nobody's at home and this heart might deform
If only you could see the bright side
Of waking up and being alone
If only you could see the future is all yours now
