François X

About

François X is a Paris-based DJ, producer and founder of XX LAB, widely recognized as a defining figure of the European techno landscape. Emerging through DJ Deep’s Deeply Rooted, he rose with his residency at Concrete, where his long-form sets shaped a generation’s approach to groove, tension and physicality. His sound has since reached institutions such as Berghain, Fabric, Awakenings, Pitch Festival... As a producer, he has built a strong and consistent body of work, from his acclaimed album Irregular Passion to releases on Dement3d and MDR, and more recent projects on XX LAB including Digital Fever, Straight Edge Society and The Skin Between Us. His music bridges the Black American roots of electronic music with a European sense of structure and restraint. Through XX LAB, conceived as a fictional techno corporation, he extends his practice beyond music into image, objects and narrative, positioning himself as a singular and enduring voice in contemporary techno.

Merci François X pour tes conseils, j'ai essayé de faire tout ce que tu m'as dit : j'ai raccourci la track, j'ai fait venir les claps moins souvent et j'ai enlevé le medium haut et reduit le decay. J 'ai aussi filter le rumble avec decapitator et autofilter. J'ai essayé d'être plus progressif dans la structure, mais je trouve que ça reste pas mal répetitif, je ne sais pas ce que tu en penses... J'ai aussi rajouté une partie rythmique au milieu, et j'ai rajouté des sfx, quelques percs et doublement de kick. J'espere que je ne me suis pas trop éloigné de ce que tu m'avais conseillé. Je te remercie

Frequently asked questions

Music feedback

François X records a private video breaking down your track — mix, arrangement, sound design, or whatever you ask them to focus on. It lands in your inbox and you can watch it whenever you want, as many times as you like.
Early sketches are often the most valuable to get feedback on, before you get lost in too many iterations — but finished tracks work too if you want a second opinion or to get on the artist’s radar.
MP3, WAV or AIF, any length. Add a note and links when you upload so François X knows exactly what to focus on.
Most feedback arrives within a few days. If François X hasn’t responded within 7 days, you’re automatically refunded.
You can swap the track as long as François X hasn’t listened yet. After that you can cancel the request for a refund and start a new one.
Yes. Once your feedback is delivered, you’ll find a private message option on your request page. Use it to ask the artist a follow-up question or get clarification on something they mentioned in the video.
