Franky Rizardo

Dutchman Franky Rizardo has been building a career in house and tech house since the late 2000s, with a sound centered on groove, percussion and supple basslines — crafted for the club but without dryness. After beginnings in a more direct form of house, he moved toward a deeper, more fluid aesthetic in which rhythm remains at the forefront and buildups are constructed in stages rather than by effects. His productions and DJ sets have gradually placed him within European and international house circuits, from clubs to festivals, with a regular presence around Music On. Franky Rizardo also develops his own distribution formats with FLOW, launched in 2015, and with the label LTF Records, which extends this musical line into a contemporary, restrained and effective house register. Across releases on various specialized labels, he has built a coherent repertoire founded on energy, tension and a very physical reading of the dancefloor.
