Create Music Group has inked DJ Hanzel, Dillon Francis’ new DJ project, to a global distribution deal.
In comedic Francis fashion, the DJ’s alter ego is known as a German slipper-enthusiast who has “unintentionally taken 100 percent of Dillon Francis’ fan base.”
This year, DJ Hanzel has dropped three singles, including “Make Me Feel,” “Talkin” and his latest, “Gumby,” as well as hit the Coachella stage for a surprise performance.
“Like some kind of musical gladiator, I have slayed my inferior rival Dillon Francis, and he must now accept his defeat and with it, his new moniker I have bestowed upon him: Der Pottyman,” said the DJ. “It is truly an honor for me to embark on a new journey going one deeper with the amazing team at Create Music Group.”
“I have had the pleasure of watching DJ Hanzel build his career up over the years and gradually become a megastar,” added Create Music Group’s Director of A&R, Dance/Electronic, Thomas Garcia. “We are thrilled to be working with him and hope that he and Dillon never end up in the same room together at Create Music Group headquarters.”
