My Take
Dillon Francis fascinates me because he refuses to take electronic music too seriously, and that is exactly his genius. Beyond helping popularize moombahton and its heavier offshoots, he built alter egos like DJ Hanzel and turned internet comedy into a real artistic tool. In a genre full of stone-faced cool, he weaponized humor to dismantle the gatekeeping. The arts-high-school background tracks; underneath the jokes is a genuine creator who understands sound and spectacle alike. Making people dance and laugh at the same time is a rare double act, and I am firmly in his corner for pulling it off.
