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 and the limit of his dedication, François X is acting as a contemporary cow-boy, deeply entwined with his utopian dreams.

XX LAB Radioshow on Rinse France

Few days after the pandemic divinely revealed its eager face; this musical piece was crafted and composed by François X during a moody evening in March 2020.
Popularly known for his 4/4 instrumental tracks, the global shutdown provided François X with precious time to dive into inner emotions and inevitably generate something unusual for him: a cinematic soundtrack. 

This musical piece is not that far from what people are expecting from him, as the inspiration draws from the irresistible fascination towards the emotional intensity of what nightlife has to offer: mild euphoria, social freedom and pensive melancholy; held together by a cinematic and blurry atmosphere.

The exclusive track led into a creative collaboration between François X and friend Anne Raffin (a famous lead background artist in the anime industry) who wrote and directed the animated video clip: 
A dystopian story where the human race's heroic struggle for social freedom remains inevitably the key element for its ultimate survival.

"The set is showcasing what I'm seeking to produce during my gigs at the moment, a mind trip between genres intensity and mood. For this podcast I've carefully gathered a lovely bunch of unreleased tracks from my closest gang in Paris (Mac Declos, Uf095, Vel or Lacchesi) combined with stripped out tunes.

For me, the art of mixing is like telling a story, with a super-deep common thread. I don't like banging or tripping for two hours, on the contrary, I love when you can navigate through uncharted and unexpected territories. You do nothing but undoubtedly find the proper balance. In a way, the mix is all about this feeling. "

Francois x returns to the Deeply Rooted House label for his third record and we are very pleased to hear how he developed his style! Code Red has a great classic Techno vibe , while Haunted is an acid intriguing deep and dark track. Proper techno! Bonus comes on the flip side with the Marcel Dettmann remix of Code Red. His version is stripped down dark and pumping in his unique and raw and intense Berghain style !

François X - Electronic Beats Radio Podcast

ello all,

I wanted to share the complete audio from my recent all night long at Concrete, Paris. This night was the perfect way to start the summer season! A packed dancefloor, hot temperature, naked bodies, we were living in there!

Starting from offbeat and slow-mo tracks, I delved into a more techno and adventurous zone. Classic Detroit techno, trippy trance, Daniel Bell style minimalism, the list goes on. I was tripping like hell.

As the sun rose, the music became deeper and sexier, and it felt as if the many bodies inside began to melt with one another. I like when the club is sweaty and full of passion, and it was definitely the case that night. Grrrr I'm having goosebumps just thinking about it!

Devotedly yours,

François X

All Night Long At Concrete 23rd June 2017 Part 1

François x will open 2019 with the launch of a new label entitled demented xxx, with the first ep coming courtesy of the parisian himself.

Operating as a sister label to his longstanding dement3d imprint, founded back in 2011 alongside co-founder hbt, the new imprint and project will serve as a cultural platform for artists to share visions and expansive productions not confined within the worlds of house and techno, enabling the freedom to explore genres across the electronic sphere. 
This approach stems from françois’ own personal approach to music production and djing, with a key emphasis on warm, emotive and sensual cuts at its core.

The inaugural ep comes from françois x this month tbc, with the four tracks featured on '001' bridging the gap between his earlier and forthcoming work as well as his future vision for the imprint, incorporating broken arrangements, captivating soundscapes, and immersive textures to reveal a warmer, more house-focused side to x’s sound across slower, entrancing tempos. Whilst zoumenou’s productions remain centred around his own personal vision of the night, highlighted by the track titles across the package, the cuts explore and delve deep into the idea of open expression within landscapes heightened through the sense of both obscurity and mystery, returning back to ideas explored within his IRREGULAR PASSION LP released in 2018.
