His first releases was way back in 1996 on his own label Fusion Records (w/ 303 Nation Member, Patrick Vauillaume). Under his Tichy moniker various EPs have been realeased on Frankfurt techno labels until at the end of the 90s. His search for inspiration brought him to a very experimental production phase without the 4 to the floor presetting.

From this he developed his distinctive trademark sound with straight grooves and frisky sound design. With the concentration on DJing and party organising Franklin De Costa began the extroverted phase of the studio nerd. In 2003 he started working with Yapacc and founded the Studiogemeinschaft project. Along with the infamous Frankfurt DJs Bo Irion and Miriam Schulte they started 'The Green Empire' events in Frankfurt.

Meanwhile Franklin was gaining more international recognition with releases on well-known labels such as Trapez ltd, Karmarouge Noir, Einmaleins Musik and Treibstoff. His singles entered the charts of djs worldwide. Over the last years his dj sets brought him an extensive gig schedule in many countrys from Russia to the US to Japan.

2008 he released on the Mobilee sublabel Leena, Resopal Red and Curle. He started also a new project with Daso which was released on Outils Du Connaisseur April 2009. Expect also new material on Curle, Einmaleins Music and Auralism for 2009. Nowadays Franklin De Costa is working on his upcoming live set performance wich will hit the scene in fall 2009.
