THE MANIFESTO

THE FOUNDATION

XX LAB is a techno label and creative platform founded in Paris in 2021 by François X.

Rooted in the contemporary techno scene, the label explores how sound, design, and fiction can merge into a single coherent system.

At its foundation, XX LAB functions as a music label dedicated to releasing precise, emotional, and timeless techno.

Each record acts as a statement: music that connects physical energy with introspection, rhythm with emotion.

THE FICTION

Beyond music, XX LAB operates as a fictional corporation, a speculative entity inspired by the aesthetics of research, control, and technology.

Through its design language, artefacts, and communications, it constructs a world that feels simultaneously familiar and futuristic.

This dystopian framework allows XX LAB to question how art and authority coexist — how emotion can survive within systems built for efficiency and order.

XX LAB MUSIC

XX LAB’s catalog reflects a continuous exploration of techno’s emotional and architectural possibilities. Each release operates as a fragment of a larger narrative, a dialogue between rhythm, fiction, and design.

From introspective club anthems to cinematic experiments, XX LAB’s output challenges the boundaries of electronic music, merging precision with emotion. The label’s sound is defined by clarity, tension, and structure, a language that speaks both to the dancefloor and to deeper, inner spaces.

XX LAB ARTIFACTS

At XX LAB, the listening experience extends beyond sound materialized through a series of limited physical artifacts that bridge fiction and reality.

These objects are not collectibles; they are narrative devices designed to expand the label’s speculative universe and invite deeper forms of engagement.

XX LAB CLOTHING

XX LAB’s clothing line extends the label’s fictional world into the physical realm.

Each garment is conceived as a uniform within the imagined corporate structure that defines the XX LAB universe, an emblem of belonging and a statement of identity.

Crafted in Europe from premium materials, these garments are produced with the same attention to detail that defines XX LAB’s sonic and visual language, ensuring that each piece stands as a durable and elevated expression of the LAB philosophy.
