Ableton Music Producer Podcast

Jordan shares his journey from DJing to producing music and forming Neil Frances with Mark. He discusses his love for analog gear, the importance of feel in music, and their all-analog live setup for CLUB NF. He also teases upcoming CLUB NF releases and more.

Neil Frances, the LA-based duo of Jordan Feller and Marc Gilfry, blends electro-indie rock with dance music. They first gained attention through SoundCloud demos and KCRW support, with their 2017 remake of Music Sounds Better With You amassing over 360M TikTok views and 200M streams. Having played major festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo, they launched CLUB NF to remix their tracks for high-energy, analog-driven live sets, with VOL. 1 surpassing 640K streams.
