Hailing from Paris, François X has forged one of France's finest exports in the world of techno. Gaining attention in mid 2000’s as a frenetic techno kid with debut releases on dj deep imprint deeply rooted, his career “kickstarted” in 2012 with his concrete residency where he shaped many sonically adventurous stories and led him to be a regular at major festivals (exit festival, melt festival, nuits sonores) to play closing sets at berghain.
It was in the record stores that he met his close friend DJ Deep and quickly convinced him to release a total of three releases for the parisian imprint. The final ep featured a remix by Marcel Dettmann, who would later invite François to appear on his own label Marcel dettmann records.
François launched his own imprint dement3d in 2011, a vivid record label acting as a key cog in the french music renaissance. It has been the home of his last five releases and his debut album ‘irregular passion’, hailed by groove magazine in their top debut LPs of 2018, providing the perfect example of François X’s ability to merge sensual and rich textures amongst darker elements through electronica off-kilter techno adventures.
Since may 2019 François X has released to critical acclaim his latest projects murky dreams and irregular passion reshaped, a complete relecture of his latest album favoring an emotional and sensual sensitivity which is at the heart of his musical production.
