For this 68th instalment of the podcast series we welcome François X.

François X, a celebrated French techno icon, is known for his enthralling and unpredictable sets that blend fast-paced techno, elements of trance and ghetto tech with an unmistakable touch of elegance. His music exudes a palpable sense of physicality and sensuality, leaving a lasting impression on his audience. This set was recorded live from an unknown location in late 2023.

Get a glimpse of what François X will bring to the Friday of Intercell Indoor, where he will team up with Daria Kolosova for a premiere b2b set.
