“All I need is your love tonight”… If you attend electronic music events or keep an eye on Spotify’s top playlists, you’ve likely heard this song play numerous times. The remix of “Shouse – Love Tonight,” crafted by Vintage Culture and Kiko Franco, soared to the top of the Afro House category on Beatport and became the fourth best-selling track in the genre’s history on the platform. This release positioned Brazilian DJ and music producer Kiko Franco as a promising newcomer to the global electronic music market and earned him numerous performances around the world, from tours in North America to the Middle East and Europe.
To grasp the magnitude of Kiko Franco’s international career, the DJ and producer had the privilege of performing in Mykonos with Adriatique; in Las Vegas and Cancun with Tiësto; at Tomorrowland Winter in France with Like Mike; and in Los Angeles and Miami with Alesso.
After so many achievements, Kiko further solidifies his global career with several new ventures. The artist released a remix for David Guetta, “Live Without Love,” being one of the few Brazilian producers to receive an invitation from the superstar; he collaborated with Like Mike on “Young Years”; and shortly thereafter, he scored another hit, “Told You,” in partnership with Moser and DYVE, a reinterpretation of Diddy’s “Last Night” featuring Keyshia Cole. “Told You” was played by top DJs worldwide, including Lost Frequencies, Diplo, and Vintage Culture. Following that, in collaboration with Duke Dumont, he released a remix for the global hit “Mwaki” by Brazilian Zerb featuring Sofiya Nzau from Kenya.
Kiko Franco is undoubtedly part of the movement that many are calling the ‘Brazilian Storm,’ composed of younger-generation Brazilian DJs who are taking over the world, such as ANNA, Vintage Culture, Mochakk, and Maz.
