FRANCOIS DILLINGER [Ben Worden] glides through the two worlds of electro and techno, stopping occasionally to explore ambient moods in the grey areas between. His Live & DJ sets lean heavily into the generation of hypnotic loops, creating long protracted transitions between elements to form unshakeable tension. Whether it’s an all hardware setup or the combination of four decks and effects, his 25 years of experience is primed to push audiences of all sizes into new territory. Since his live debut at Detroit’s Movement Festival in 2022, DILLINGER has continued to evolve his sound across a series of standout performances, culminating in a Live + DJ hybrid set at Movement 2024. His international appearances include shows in Berlin, London, and Toronto, as well as performances presented through art-driven collaborations with Detroit-based collectives and curators such as Imbue, 313_030 Projekt, Missing Faces, and The House of Tarot. These projects have pushed the boundaries of traditional club environments, merging his sound with immersive installations and multi-sensory experiences.
2024 also marked the launch of his own imprint, Control Data Institute, co-founded with Dutch artist Lloyd Stellar. The debut release, Welcome to the Institute, featured a VA compilation, a secret EP, and an exclusive modular sample pack, all of which sold out in under 24 hours.
DILLINGER also hosted MINDFRAME, a monthly residency on Detroit’s Deep Space Radio featuring guest performances from across the global electro scene. After 18 episodes, he stepped away from the show to focus on his label, studio work, and a growing slate of immersive projects.
