François Dillinger

FRANCOIS DILLINGER [Ben Worden], glides between the two worlds of electro and
techno. Hot off a live set at Detroit’s Movement Festival—his journey through
the genres is dark while retaining a mercilessly intelligent, dancefloor-oriented
quality. His Live & DJ sets lean heavily into the generation of hypnotic
loops, creating long protracted mixes between elements of unshakeable
tension. As a former promoter, long-time performer, and supporter of the
scene – he’s been a part of the Detroit underground for over 20 years.
Over the last two years, DILLINGER has released three albums across Diffuse Reality, Specimen Records,
and International Chrome. He was featured on several compilations, most notably on Planet E’s Detroit
Love series, while over 30 artists remixed his tracks including the likes of Keith ‘K1’ Tucker, Detroit’s
Filthiest, Jensen Interceptor, Luxus Varta and others. DILLINGER also hosts MINDFRAME, a monthly
residency on Detroit’s Deep Space Radio that features guest performances from across the global
electro scene. Support for his music continues from the likes of Dave Clarke and Richie Hawtin; with his
latest LP named as Best New Electronic Music by Bandcamp.
FRANCOIS also continues his work with Detroit-based art collaboratives Missing Faces and 313-030,
creating immersive A/V installations with shows planned across Detroit and Berlin over the next year.
