Perfect World (FSG & BRD Club Remix) - Gossip

Francisco Guerra — Mon, 07 May 2012 12:54:09 GMT

Once in a while there comes a track which reminds me of my youth.

I was one of those kids fascinated with the color black; black eye liner, black clothes, creepers, the whole nine-yards. And then kids would scream out and call me a "poser" and every other name in the book which seemed like the weirdest insults to me... ever. But, as life teaches you, insults really don't matter. You pick yourself up, you dust yourself off, and you move to the next thing. Life gets better.

Fast forward, I still live in fascination with the color black. This time, it's about dark energy, dark matter, black holes, astrophysics, computer and technology, and spirituality. And people still make fun of me. But it doesn't matter because this is my picture perfect world.

Perfect World is a terrific song. I really fell in love with Heavy Cross and this is right up there with that track.

I hope you enjoy this track, I hope you vote for me, and in my perfect world, I win.

Hello (Francisco Guerra 2012 Club Mix) - Evanescence

Francisco Guerra — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 10:46:47 GMT

Playground school bell rings again

Rain clouds come to play again

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Hello, I am your mind giving you someone to talk to

Hello

If I smile and don't believe

Soon I know I'll wake from this dream

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken

Hello, I am the lie living for you so you can hide.

Don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

Hello, I'm still here

All that's left of yesterday

Only You (Francisco Guerra 2012 Club Edit) - Yaz

Francisco Guerra — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 17:13:38 GMT

Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love

Can you hear me

Came back only yesterday

I'm moving further away

Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

Sometimes when I think of her name when it's only a game

And I need you

Listen to the words that you say it's getting harder to stay

When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

This is going to take a long time and I wonder what's mine

Can't take no more

Wonder if you'll understand it's just the touch of your hand

Behind a closed door

Moves Like Jagger (Francisco Guerra 2011 Club Mix) - Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera

Francisco Guerra — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 10:22:57 GMT

Just shoot for the stars

If it feels right

And aim for my heart

If you feel like

And take me away and make it OK

I swear I'll behave

You wanted control

So we waited

I put on a show

Now I make it

You say I'm a kid

My ego is big

I don't give a shit

And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue

And I'll know you

Kiss me 'til you're drunk

And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you

Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

Baby it's hard

When you feel like you're broken and scarred

Nothing feels right

But when you're with me

I make you believe

That I've got the key

So get in the car

We can ride it

Wherever you want

Get excited

And you want to steer

But I'm shifting gears

I'll take it from here

And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue

And I'll know you

Kiss me 'til you're drunk

And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you

Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

You want to know how to make me smile

Take control, own me just for the night

But if I share my secret

You're gonna have to keep it

Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn

I won't show you twice

Head to toe, oh baby, rub me right

But if I share my secret

You're gonna have to keep it

Nobody else can see this

And it goes like this...

The Urge To Mardi Gras - Part 2

Francisco Guerra — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 23:14:00 GMT

Happy Black Party Weekend, everybody. Fun fun!

This is Part 2 of my Sydney set with a few added tracks. A little darker, a little dirtier, and it was my favorite part of the evening. During the night, I had a dancer request many times to play Teenage Crime, one of my favorite songs. I promised her I'd play it... so I did... mashed with a little Underworld.

I also enoyed the technical glitch at the end of my set when the announcer thanked "Murray Hood". I got a good chuckle. You can only control what you can control. Well, as my Aussie friends Bret, Dennis, and Dino taught me and say all the time: It's all good.

I had the time of my life.

The Urge to Mardi Gras - Part 1

Francisco Guerra — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 12:09:00 GMT

In November 2010, my journey down under began with a party in Auckland, New Zealand. Al and Paul from The Urge Bar and Matt from Bearracuda invited me and DJ 50 Pound Note to perform at the 420 Bar on K Road. What a memorable night.

Matt, Al, and Paul - Thank you.

One week later, Matt, Jeb, my partner Bobby, and I headed to Sydney to party with the Harbour City Bears at The Midnight Shift on Oxford Street in Sydney, Australia. Jonny, his partner Alan, our new friend Richard, and the rest of the Sydney gents made us feel like part of a family. I had one of the best vacations in a long time.

Jonny, Alan, Richard - Thank you.

1 month later I received an invitation from New Mardi Gras to spin at the Mardi Gras 2011 After Party in the Royal Hall of Industries (RHI) alongside some pretty big named DJs including Calvin Harris (Horden), Seamus Haji, Frankie Knuckles (Horden), and Yinon Yahel as well as live performances by Alexis Jordan (Happiness) and Wynter Gordon (Dirty Talk). I was pretty stoked.

Sam - Thank you.

The day before I left for Sydney, Bearracuda and I traveled to Atlanta, GA for a night of uplifting house and a preview of my RHI set at The Heretic Bar.

Alan - Thank you.

Here is part 1 of my set performed at the Royal Hall of Industries, Moore Park, March 6, 2011 from 6AM - 8AM.

Thank you all for the journey of a lifetime.

Bobby - Thank you for everything.

Matt, Bob, and I hope to see you there!

Sydney Mardi Gras 2011 : RHI

Francisco Guerra — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 02:53:00 GMT

My blog dashboard tells me it's been 80 days since my last post. Well, what can I say. I've been a little busy and life has been moving with a bit of acceleration. It's been a great journey. London, Paris, Milan, and now Sydney.

I hope you can join us at Mardi Gras for what will be an absolutely great time.

Hope to see you there.

Symphonic (Pride 2010)

Francisco Guerra — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:55:57 GMT

It's been a busy month with lots of travel to Europe and back. But I had time to squeeze in one last podcast before I go on a brief summer hiatus from Djing.

Starting later this month we'll be traveling a substantial amount in Europe. New adventures. New responsibilities. New experiences.

I'll be publishing booking dates and venue locations soon for club gigs. But here is a brief summary:

London: September 2010
Miami / Ft. Lauderdale: October 2010
Auckland, New Zealand: November 2010
Sydney, Australia: November 2010

We're also working on confirming a date in Barcelona later this year.

For now, I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it. Happy Pride 2010, everyone. See you in the fall.
