Following the release of his debut album in late November, Dement3d boss François X is set to play a series of worldwide dates across some of his favourite cities and venues as part of his ‘Irregular Passion’ album tour.
A key protagonist within Paris’ electronic music scene, François X has firmly cemented himself as one of France’s finest exports within the realms of house and techno. He has gone on to establish his imitable blend of genre bridging techno, most notably via Dj Deep’s renowned Deeply Rooted imprint, as well as Marcel Dettmann’s MDR and his own label Dement3d.
A throwback to rock’n’roll tours gone-by, but also a tip to modern music tours of today, the concept of the tour will not only see François man the decks at each club, but will also see an increased focus on personal involvement between venue, crowd and artist within each city, with record store showcases, surprise in-stores, radio show guest mixes, and more.
Having started at Belgrade’s renowned Drugstore on 19th January (with an in-store at Yugovinyl), the tour will see François play across fourteen countries and three continents, with a number of additional dates soon to be added. The 24th February will also see François curate and host his own ‘Irregular Passion’ line up at Concrete, the home of his longstanding residency, welcoming bbbbbb boss Bjarki, Dr. Rubinstein and more to Paris.
The tour will also welcome an exclusive and limited merchandise capsule created solely for the run of shows, following the forthcoming launch of François’ ‘Iregular Passion’ label and its debut collection.
