Platinum-selling artist, DJ, and producer Dillon Francis today released a brand new set of remixes of his latest hit single “Hello There” (feat. Yung Pinch), featuring contributions from ETC!ETC! X Whyel, Happy Colors, Generik, Rude Kid, and Jus Now x Dismantle. Hello There (feat. Yung Pinch) [The Remixes] is available at all digital retailers and streaming services starting today. “Hello There” was released on October 11th via Francis’s own IDGAFOS record label and has received over 7.5 million streams to date. The song received placement on eight New Music Friday playlists on Spotify, including Weekly Buzz and Hot Rhythmic and is #16 on the Spotify US Viral chart. On Apple Music, the track was featured on #1 Hot Tracks and #1 A List Dance and was included in Beats 1 ‘Best of the Week’. The track was also Shazam’s Song of the Day. Hypebeast called the track “vibrant and bouncy” and praised its “feel good vibes.” Billboard deemed it a “treat for your eardrums… sunny like a perfect Summer day”.
Next weekend, Francis will host The Dillon Francis Ultra VIP NYE Experience, a hometown New Year’s Eve performance at The Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles on December 31 with support from Whethan, Team Ezy, and Valentino Khan.
Following the release of “Hello There”, Francis shared a hilarious music video to accompany the track. Directed by Funny or Die’s comedic duo The Dads, the video stars Francis, who portrays over 10 roles in the clip in a collective tip of the hat to the various late night talk shows.
IDGAFOS originated from Francis’ 2011 song of the same name, which at the time, reflected the culmination of his signature musical productions. The term has since evolved into a rallying cry for all things Dillon Francis — his clothing line, epic live show, and now an outlet with which to release his new music. In his own words, IDGAFOS is “to be spirited and happy… to never give a fuck or shit about anything but remaining positive.”
