145 Blapper - Big beats are the best, get high all the time

Stress Builds Character

For Lack of a Better Obstacle

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.

Shame Stare

François X - Shame Stare

hey! This track is one of my recent favorites and I really love how it turned out. However it includes a sample by the one and only 'Echoplex - Moviola' (btw. I totally recommend listening to that track aswell) which is why I decided to upload this one as a free download :)

The beautiful artwork is done again by my good friend Darius Pedro so please check out his other work in Instagram @pedrodarius_ttt

So have fun listening (or playing it) <3
