Scan X, de son vrai nom St\u00e9phane Dri, est un compositeur, musicien, remixeur et ing\u00e9nieur du son fran\u00e7ais de musiques \u00e9lectroniques. Il est l\u2019un des pionniers de la sc\u00e8ne techno fran\u00e7aise. Sa carri\u00e8re d\u00e9bute en 1993 avec la sortie de plusieurs EPs sur le label Fnac Music Dance Division, puis sur le mythique label F communications, pour lequel il produit deux albums unanimement salu\u00e9s par la critique et le public : \u00ab Chroma \u00bb en 1996 et \u00ab How To Make The Unpredictable Necessary \u00bb en 2003. Suite \u00e0 la mise en sommeil de F Com, St\u00e9phane sort ses productions sur diff\u00e9rents labels (Skryptom, Harthouse, Hertzblut\u2026), enchaine quelques collaborations originales, et signe la premi\u00e8re r\u00e9f\u00e9rence de Volphonie en 2017. Chaque nouvelle composition confirme sa maturit\u00e9 et sa pr\u00e9cision dans un style unique, m\u00ealant un univers profond\u00e9ment c\u00e9r\u00e9bral \u00e0 une section rythmique implacable. Bon nombre de ses morceaux sont aujourd\u2019hui consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme des classiques. Mais Scan X est avant tout un artiste \u00ab live \u00bb. Il est l\u2019un des premiers musiciens de la sc\u00e8ne \u00e9lectronique fran\u00e7aise \u00e0 s\u2019\u00eatre produit en public avec des machines, et il reste une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence incontest\u00e9e dans ce domaine, l\u2019un des plus grands \u00ab livers \u00bb fran\u00e7ais. Ses performances sont acclam\u00e9es depuis ses d\u00e9buts, et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu \u00e0 plusieurs reprises \u00abMeilleur Live Techno International\u00bb par les lecteurs de la presse sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e fran\u00e7aise et europ\u00e9enne. On parle donc ici de l\u2019un des maitres du genre, parmi les plus discrets mais aussi les plus efficaces. Laurent Garnier ne s\u2019y est pas tromp\u00e9, puisque St\u00e9phane est son ing\u00e9nieur du son attitr\u00e9 depuis une vingtaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es. Il accompagne le parrain de la techno fran\u00e7aise lors du \u00ab Kleptomaniac Tour \u00bb en 2009 puis sur le projet LBS, pour lesquels il effectue plus de 250 dates dans 30 pays. En solo, Scan X accomplit plus de 1 200 dates dans 40 pays, exportant depuis bient\u00f4t 30 ans sa musique \u00e0 travers le monde, dans les plus grands festivals et les clubs les plus en vue (Sonar, Time Warp, I Love Techno, Roskilde, Transmusicales, Berghain, Fuse, Rex Club, Fabric\u2026). En 2021 il revendique \u00eatre avec Laurent Garnier, le label manager de Cod3 QR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scan X, born St\u00e9phane Dri, is a French composer, musician, remixer, and sound engineer whose career helped define the French techno scene. Emerging in 1993 with a series of EPs on Fnac Music\u2019s Dance Division, he soon found a home on the legendary F Communications label, where he released two albums that remain touchstones of the genre: Chroma (1996) and How To Make The Unpredictable Necessary (2003). Both records were met with critical acclaim, cementing his reputation as a cerebral yet rhythmically relentless producer. Following the hiatus of F Communications, St\u00e9phane continued to release on labels such as Skryptom, Harthouse, and Hertzblut, explored a range of collaborative projects, and inaugurated the Volphonie imprint with its first release in 2017. Each new work reaffirms his precision and maturity, blending an intensely intellectual sonic universe with an unyielding pulse. Many of his tracks have since become classics. But Scan X is first and foremost a live artist. Among the earliest in France to bring electronic compositions to the stage via machines, he remains a benchmark in live performance, repeatedly recognized as one of the finest French techno acts. His sets have been celebrated from the outset, earning him multiple accolades as \u201cBest International Live Techno Act\u201d from specialized press across Europe. Laurent Garnier, himself a stalwart of French electronic music, has relied on St\u00e9phane as his sound engineer for over two decades. Scan X accompanied Garnier on the Kleptomaniac Tour in 2009 and the LBS project, performing more than 250 shows across 30 countries. As a solo artist, he has delivered over 1,200 performances in 40 countries, taking his music to major festivals and renowned clubs worldwide, including Sonar, Time Warp, I Love Techno, Roskilde, Transmusicales, Berghain, Fuse, Rex Club, and Fabric. In 2021, he and Garnier joined forces as label managers of Cod3 QR, continuing to shape the sonic landscape of electronic music. Scan X remains one of the scene\u2019s most discreet yet formidable masters\u2014a composer, performer, and innovator whose influence resonates nearly three decades on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
