- The 11-track LP concludes a trio of records that were inspired by themes from the film Blade Runner.
François X's debut album, Irregular Passion, is due out in October on his and Heartbeat's DEMENT3D label.
Irregular Passion will be the last of three solo records from the Parisian techno artist that were inspired by themes from the film Blade Runner, after 2014's Suspended In A Stasis Field EP and last year's Unicorn Paranoia EP. A press release says one of the movie's characters, the replicant Rachael, was a "muse" for François X while working on the album, which also draws on the producer's fascination with "the intensity of what nightlife has to offer: euphoria and melancholy, spotlights or incognito, sexual contact or lonely voyeurism."
François X launched DEMENT3D alongside Heartbeat—also known as HBT—in 2011. Besides those two, and Francois X's Hiss : 1292 collaboration with Opuswerk, the label has been an outlet for a range of techno, ambient and experimental music from artists including Polar Inertia, Ligovskoï, DSCRD, Voiski and, just last month, Valentino Mora.
