FRANÇOIS IER, aka François Giesberger, is an emerging producer from Toulouse of considerable talent. Combining the influences of psychedelic sounds like Pink Floyd with more experimental music, François has quickly bridged visual and sound arts into a unique brand of progressive house with a repetitive and powerful structure specific to modern electronic music. Performing on the most famed stages of Toulouse, François Ier has gained visibility from Mouv’, Trax Magazine, Inrockuptibles, and DJ Mag. He has released two EPs, including “Neptune” in June via Boxon Records. Read More
