BIOGRAPHY
 

Whether Basement Jaxx's legendary Rooty nights, the Chemical Brothers' Glint parties, or Groove Armada's Lovebox raves, when dance music's heavyweight champions throw their own parties they all ask Frank Tope to provide the soundtrack. From illegal afterhours blues dances in Brixton to living it up on the terrace of Space in Ibiza, Frank Tope has spent the last decade rocking dancefloors with an fresh, open-minded 'play whatever rocks' attitude that joins the dots between sweaty house and crisp techno with the drama of long-forgotten electronic disco and jacking Chicago classics.

Since the sweat and beer-soaked carnage of Brixton's Rooty parties - which he started with like-minded mates Basement Jaxx and Tayo - Frank has graced the decks at, amongst many others: Bestival, Fabric, Faith, Lovebox, Bugged Out, Horsemeat Disco, Mulletover, The Key, Whistle Bump, Secret Sundaze and the Chemical Brothers' Glint parties, ("one of my favourite DJs" according to Ed Chemical).

Inspired by heroes including Derrick Carter, Harvey and Theo Parrish, Frank is on a mission to save house music from boredom with a fiercely energetic mixing style, digging deep into an immense record collection to throw in the last thing you'd expect at just the right time, combining heavyweight basslines and Latin percussion with enough of his trademark acapella vocals and dubbed-out sound FX to turn any club into a party and any dancefloor into a mass of smiling girls with their hands in the air.

Frank Tope - DJ Mix 2008

Good friend and old favourite, Frank's been keeping a lower profile recently than we'd like. However he is back with a bang to rock The End in our final foray of our winter residency. On a mission to save house music from boredom with a fiercely energetic mixing style, digging deep into an immense record collection to throw in the last thing you'd expect at just the right time, Frank combines heavyweight basslines and Latin percussion with enough of his trademark acapella vocals and dubbed-out sound FX to turn any club inside out. Get up and Get Down with Frank.
