Described as a platform to enhance and promote today’s music scene with no genre frontier, highlighting a wide musical spectrum, not necessarily by always issuing banging dancefloor tracks, but by carefully selecting emotive electronica.

Music is the core element but the concept has always been visually related whose quality is reflected in the highly considered and accompanying artwork. For that matter, they are working closely with Aurélien Farina, from the studio Paper Tiger specialized in contemporary art & graphic design, who gives his own visual interpretation for every release.
