DJ 3000 has been born and raised in the Detroit enclave of Hamtramck, where he was inundated with both the sights and sounds of his neighbourhood, a highly ethnic area of Detroit, as well as with the influence of the music of his parent’s native Albanian background. This diverse collection of influences has moulded his musical path and the vision of his Motech label.

Franki discovered the rich history of Detroit Techno by going straight to the source. Through a friend he was introduced to the world of 2030, one of Detroit’s most famous outlets for electronic music, and by association, introduced to the world of Underground Resistance, and hasn’t looked back since. He fell in with the Submerge crew and moved forward from there. He began DJ-ing around Detroit and was soon introduced to the world via his numerous releases on highly respected underground labels such as Submerge Recordings. He also DJs in US, Europe and Asia regularly.

In 2001, DJ 3000 went a step further by establishing Motech Records. Taking the vision and influence provided to him by Detroit and his parents’ immigration from what was then Yugoslavia, DJ 3000 began releasing a new hybrid breed of Techno/Electro/Funk with interspersed the soul of Albanian and Middle Eastern rhythms that the world had never seen. Through his own releases, and through collaborations and contributions from some of the best up-and-coming Detroit producers, Motech has forged its own unique identity among the Submerge collection of labels.

Now we are treated to his new DJ-mix album on the Slovenian Explicit/Matrix Music label (co-owned by Umek). The latest installment in the 'Ekspozicija' series (following releases by Kevin Saunderson, DJ Rush, Marco Bailey, Christian Smith, Slam and Cristian Varela) is as high-quality as can be expected from an artist such as DJ 3000. It is deep and driving, there are ethnic influences, the mixes are done with exceptional ease (all live, no studio trickery!) and smoothness. Furthermore, Franki is not afraid to blend seemingly incompatible electronic styles together. The set includes the most current work of some of the most innovative artists from the electronic underground: Buscemi, Robert Hood, Technasia, Octave One, Ican, Suburban Knight, Chrisitan Fischer, Pigna People…..In addition, DJ 3000 also included some of his own unreleased tracks and collaborations in the mix.
