French techno artist Francois X has released the first part of his two-part EP, The Skin Between Us, on his XX LAB label.
The first part of the EP, which features the tracks Bone and Signal, No More Shell and Silent Tension, is described as boasting a ‘visceral, textured vision of techno; sensual, groovy, percussive’, and was released on 20 June.
“My identity, like my sound, is hybrid”. Francois commented. “This project, is an introspective collage of who I am, an echo of the lineage I come from, shaped by solitude, tension, and the poetry of the night.”
Based in Paris, François X developed his distinctive sound – grounded as much in the roots of Detroit and Chicago as in his own métis heritage – as a resident DJ at Concrete, gaining recognition that extended internationally with performances at venues and festivals such as Berghain, fabric, Awakenings, and Melt Festival.
As a producer, he has released music on labels including MDR, BPitch Control, Exhale, and fabric, while his 2018 debut album, Irregular Passion, highlights his ability to craft immersive, emotionally-rich techno narratives.
