FRANÇOIS X THE SKIN BETWEEN US PART I& II VINYL

Vinyl is here Part I & II merge as one 💿
As The Skin Between Us is reflection on the concept of origins, it felt only natural to conclude the project with a physical record. With its sharp design and transparent cover, the object places what truly matters at the center: the music.

Track list :
Part I
A1: Bone And Signal
A2: No More Shell
A3: SiIent Tension
Part II
B1: In Memory Of
B2: Before I Knew The Words

NEW RELEASE IS OUT : François X - The Skin Between Us Part II

François X closes The Skin Between Us with a second chapter that feels less like a conclusion than a sharpening of intent. Where Part I wrestled with heritage and tension, Part II is about clarity: two tracks that underline his belief in techno as something lived, not abstracted.

Now available on Hate podcast youtube channel and all digital platform.
