Biography:


DJ M.F.R. resides in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. His musical history began at the early age of 18 when he began to djing in Rome. If you know about house music in the Bay Area, then you know who DJ MFR is.

His journey started in Rome, his country of birth, where his love for the music sparked a love affair that would eventually have him traveling the world. Currently residing in San Francisco, which has been his home for the past 9 years, he quickly grew to prominence on the club circuit, gaining immediate respect from his dj peers.

While doing so, his interest in producing started to grow, and he decided to take the next step in his musical evolution: producing. In 1997, along with friends Miguel Mig's and Bruno Ybarra of Naked Music fame, he founded Transport Recordings. Now a well-established indie dance label with excellent underground dance music, the label has garnered a large and loyal following with a roster that has showcased such heavyweights as DJ Rasoul, Vincent Kwok, Arnold Jarvis, and Mig's and MFR themselves.

With West Coast Excursion, the first mix CD on the label, MFR seamlessly blended the label's releases into a perfect capsule of the San Francisco sound

When not producing for the label, DJ MFR also finds time to showcase his skills on other labels such as Tilted Records, Eight fifteen Recordings, Equal, Cosmic Flux, Moulton Studios and Bluem, to name but a few. His range is limitless. Whether it's peak time pumping hard house or sexy 2am vocal house, smoothed out with some hip-hop driven down tempo--you name it, he can do it!

In recent years DJ MFR together with San Francisco based producer Vincent Kwok started a production called "NEW MONDO" with the first two releases highlighting the darker side of the production pair. The duo have been gathering much critical response, appearing in publications such as DJ Magazine's hype chart.

As a dj, he can be seen and heard spinning at some of the biggest clubs in San Francisco and around the globe. His CD Afterdark, released on the Kinkysweet label has charted in the Billboard Electronic Charts and has also led to numerous interviews in prestigious dance magazines such as BPM.
