Despite having just released an album, Money Sucks, Friends Rule, Dillon Francis is already gearing up to release new material. He took to Twitter to announce that he will be releasing a new moombahton EP that will feature four tracks: two new ones and an ID with Skrillex that he opened his Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas set with, via YourEDM. You can listen to that track and the rest of his set at the bottom of the post.
And yes I'm making a 4 track Moombahton EP that will have my collab w/ @Skrillex, the song I opened EDC Vegas with & 2 other brand new ones

He is currently deep in a nationwide tour in support of his album, and despite being on the road every night, he has still mustered up the energy to create some new music to release. In addition to the upcoming new material, Francis just uploaded a free remix, or rebirth, of his track "Drunk All the Time" with Simon Lord, taken from Money Sucks, Friends Rule.
He was also featured on deadmau5's Five Years of Mau5 compilation, remixing the classic "Some Chords," which deadmau5 himself has been playing out quite frequently, when he does any shows.
Dillon Francis has by and large left behind moombahton, the genre that he helped make popular for a brief while and where he got his start. You will still hear some of the mid-tempo rhythms in his productions and his DJ sets, but now more 808s and four on-the-floor beats dominate his sound.
His fans have been clamoring for more moombahton, so we will see if these new tracks have the magic he was able to craft with his old tracks. You can head to Dillon Francis's website to see the dates for the rest of the tour and when it will be coming to a city near you.
