Touch Sensitive

Great Southern Nights 2026 takes place from 1 – 17 May 2026 featuring 300+ gigs across Sydney and New South Wales.

Touch Sensitive (aka Michael Di Francesco) is one of Australia’s most beloved electronic artists, known for his Italo-disco flair, piano house grooves, and undeniable presence on the dancefloor. Since breaking through with cult classic “Pizza Guy” in 2013, he’s become a staple of Australian music, releasing his acclaimed debut album Visions (2017), followed by The 36th Level EP (2019) and Cold Cuts EP (2022), amassing over 120 million streams.

His second studio album In Paradise seamlessly melds Italo disco inflections and piano house influences from Larry Dunn (Earth Wind and Fire), with guest vocals from close collaborator Connie Mitchell (Sneaky Sound System, Jay Z, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg), and a special touch from Tony Buchan (Smashing Pumpkins, Peter Garrett, Mildlife) and Murray Lake (Parcels, Anderson Paak, Genesis Owusu). In Paradise is currently nominated for an ARIA Award.

On stage, Touch Sensitive has sold out national tours, played festivals like Splendour in the Grass, Laneway, Falls and Beyond the Valley, and supported international heavyweights including Chromeo, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Flume. Beyond his solo work, he’s contributed to projects with Genesis Owusu, Flight Facilities and Van She, cementing his reputation as an artist’s artist.

With his tight grooves, synth-driven melodies and unflinching charisma, Touch Sensitive continues to craft timeless, euphoric moments both in the studio and on the dancefloor.
