Biography
The Power Francers, a.k.a Davide Di Martino (better known as Pacchiani), Antonio Pelusio (Goldentrash) and Caterina Di Sciascio (Katerfrancers), were born at the end of the 80’s and approached music at a very early age.
After an initial phase exclusively in the rap/hip-hop field, the colourful duo moved towards an electro-French touch style, combining all of the influences in a single, high-energy power-rap-electro style that eludes classification.
Having officially become the Power Francers in 2008, in January 2009 they came out with their first release “Megazord”, which contains 11 electro-rap tracks. With this first release, they start to receive positive feedbacks and start collaborating with artists from the Italian electro scene such as Pelussje, Belzebass, Lebatman, Broke One and The Snipplers. With the second ep “Ultrazord” (a collection of 26 remixes of the tracks contained in “Megazord”), the Power Francers gather together all the artists from the electro scene whom they have worked with.
Now fully immersed in the power-rap-electro scene, they remix the opening theme for the afternoon programme on Radio Deejay, “Tropical Pizza”. This highly acclaimed remix allows them to become regulars at Radio Deejay. Indeed, their remix is played every Friday, at the beginning and at the end of the programme, and they perform live in the studios of the Radio. The following year they compose another theme for Tropical Pizza.
In 2010, along with “100% presi bene” they collaborated on the making of the single “Presi bene”, a release containing a video and various remixes available in free download. “Presi bene” was also supported by Dj Aladyn (from Radio Deejay) who put the track in the compilation “Blocco sequenziale volume 8”.
In the same year, the duo supply the music for the “Let it snow” video, containing images of the most well known Italian snowboarders.
In April 2010, they are guests in “CNN da Strada”, radio program aired by M2O.
One month after, Power Francers have signed with Flat Frog, and have become part of the label roster and recorded – together with D-Bab - the ep “Rissa”, “Disco boy”, “Pompo nelle casse” (#7 in the Italian iTunes Dance Chart) and “Good Luck Baby”.
In December 2010, the duo filmed the videos of “Disco Boy” and “Pompo nelle casse”; both went well on Youtube and were broadcasted by DJTV. Moreover, the video of “Pompo nelle casse” was one of the most clicked Italian music video on YouTube in January 2011, together with Club Dogo’s and Jovanotti’s one.
In March 2011 the collaboration between Power Francers, D-bag and Katerfrancers (singer of “Pompo nelle casse”) continues in “Bonita” ep, a release sung by Katerfrancers and produced by Power Francers and D-Bag.
In July of the same year, Power Francers (and Katerfrancers) were choosen as opening-acts for Ligabue’s concert at Campovolo 2.0 : they performed in front of more than 100.00 people and, some months, after, the video of “Pompo nelle casse” reached more than 4.500.000 views on YouTube.
In September went out -on Flat Frog label- the single “Lei che lo vuole”, performed by Katerfrancers and produced by Power Francers and D-Bag. Thanks by the video of this song, in November 2011 Katerfrancers was the artist of the week on MTV New Generation.
