More Than 2 years after his last solo project, François X returns with an EP on his new platform, XX LAB.

Recorded prolifically during covid this record unveils an innovative approach to techno from François, by incorporating modern pop and rap productions techniques he has developed over the period like arrangements and Vocal FX (all the vocals loops and FXs are his).
There is a profound sense of creative freedom in how François X’s music has evolved recently. Shifting from academic techno structures in his previous work, to a more brutal and edgy aesthetic, François has definitely unleashed his productive spirit.

The opening track “Forever’ N' 'Fever' represents a prime example of this imaginative boiling mind, setting off the EP’s murky tone with its evocative trappish vibe. This driving effervescence brings out a remarkable plurality in the tonalities of the compositions, swinging between the prompt and fiery club-ready atmosphere of "Lone Wolf Cabin'' to the ecstatic and emotive chemistry of "Shame Stare". This paradoxical structure can also inform us about its creator, as a retranscription of the emotions that run through him.

Challenging his role as an artist, the selfishness that comes with it and the limit of his dedication, François X is acting as a contemporary cow-boy, deeply entwined with his utopian dreams.

"Digital Eden" captures the modern struggle of living in a world dominated by screens. The album dives into the feeling of being trapped behind technology, where every moment is filtered through a phone. With raw beats and haunting melodies, it reflects the tension between connection and isolation, painting a picture of a world where we're all plugged in, yet disconnected.

Back on COMO Records with "Snarecall EP", a darker, more intense collection of tracks that build on the raw energy of his previous work. This EP brings a heavier, deeper sound, with layered percussion and driving rhythms.

Each track taps into a primal energy, while exploring deeper, more atmospheric textures. The production is stripped back, focusing on a powerful groove that resonates with a darker edge. It's an EP that commands attention, pulling you in with hypnotic, relentless flow and a constant forward motion.

"Snarecall" balances between the raw and the refined, offering a collection that speaks to the power of simplicity while maintaining an intense energy that keeps the dancefloor moving.
