Hoping for a remix of the pasta salad that had way too much dill in it are, from left, Mad Decent A&R John Connolly; Big Deal Co-President Casey Robison; Dillon Francis; Big Deal Co-President Jamie Cerreta; and Francis’s manager Nick Palmacci.

DJ/Producer Dillon Francis is the first artist signed to Big Deal Music Group/Mad Decent Publishing joint venture formed earlier this year. The global deal encompasses Francis’ latest release, the seven-song mixtape Magic Is Real, which Mad Decent’s label released this month, and all his works moving forward.

“Dillon has built a hugely loyal fanbase driven by his solo recordings, his incredible collaborations and his live shows and Mad Decent has been with him every step of the way," said Jamie Cerreta, Co-President of Big Deal Music Group.

"We are thrilled to be able to play a role in Dillon's career moving forward. He's a one of a kind artist, fiercely independent and creative, all of which make him a perfect fit for us at Big Deal.”

Francis has released previously through Diplo’s Mad Decent as well as his debut album Money Sucks Friends Rule and the This Mixtape Is Fire via Columbia Records. Francis has also remixed and collaborated with an array of artists including Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake and Zedd.
