For those who know Antigone and DEMENT3Ds co-founder
Francois X, it is impossible to draw the line between their
collaboration and friendship. Three years ago, when the duo began
exchanging tips on records, production techniques and gears, they
had nothing particular in mind. This strategy, or lack thereof,
revealed to be much more beneficial to both. One night of 2013,
Francois X invites Antigone to DSCRD's studio ' a creative bunker
in Paris suburb that was DEMENT3D's inner circle headquarters at
the time. This friendly, spontaneous session quickly turned into a
creative workshop and by the end of the evening, 'The Hated SZ'
was already there. As you may imagine, projects spanning over such
a long time can be risky. You get lost, but that's what the boys
wanted. While slowly affirming their personal sound signature, they
were crafting new textures, where their mutual sense of fine dance
music and detailed production would hit a new freedom threshold.
Francois X admitted to be under the spell of Aposuspita, an art
performance and mystical character created by French artist Laura
O'Rorke for which he created the soundtrack. The result is a
double-EP, the soundtrack of a powerful rite de passage between
reality and fiction. A carefully crafted dance music record that tells
a story and alters your mind. Just like Aposuspita sucks the pain
away from her tribe, Antigone & Francois X's 'We Move As One'
offers a modern day catharsis to the listener. After three years of
work, what began as an innocent one night stand turned into one of
Paris most exciting release for year 2016. One of the first
collaboration between two rising figures of the scene depicted in
Resident Advisor's 2012 'Paris Real Scenes'. A record that
embodies the spirit of community that has been fostering the
Parisian crowd for over 3 years and that is now reaching a new
level, both socially and artistically. The Parisian scene has grown
from a sparkle to an organized community of like-minded people, so
has the relationship between those two bad boys, and we are proud
to crystallize this wild energy on wax.
