F#X

F#X is the project of Hamburg-based producer Kris Jakob, who has operated in the German electronic music scene since the mid-2010s. Jakob also records under the aliases E.K.G. and E.K.G. Technik, and since 2011 has collaborated as part of the duo project with releases appearing on labels including Lobster Theremin and Ene Records. His musical approach centers on machine correspondence shaped by analog tape processing and algorithmic sequencing.

F#X's sound spans electro, Afro house, and minimal deep tech territories, with releases exclusively appearing on Berlin's Tresor Records starting in 2025. His productions blend classic Detroit electro frameworks with melodic house elements and electronica textures, operating across varying tempo ranges from deep house tempos to harder electro rhythms. The project delivers both dancefloor-focused tracks and more experimental electronica pieces, maintaining the analog warmth of tape-processed sequences while incorporating contemporary minimal techno production techniques.
