Africantape
Extra Life
,
Marvin , Ventura , The Conformist and Mountain Pass . But that runs the house and how, and then also like, why? light on a man in the shadows ... When Have you installed Africantape?
Julien Fernandez I mounted the label early 2008. The first disc (
Three Second Kiss
"Long Distance") is officially released April 6, 2008. The label is now 2 years and 5 months. As my son (to the nearest month).
You've mounted with whom?

Sweep The Leg Johnny

Sick Room Records
and Frederick Hérouville label Ruminance . For what purposes, under what motives? Disc Three Second Kiss fell into my hands. I found it great. It turns out they were looking for a label to release it.
So I asked myself the question of publication. Why do not I start with this disc?
I always wanted, teen, edit my own label, or more generally, to publish (on disk or books).

I could look after myself for the Advancement and visibility through my agency freshly mounted.
I also have friends overseas who could help me find the distributions. I also had some experience in the area of the disk.

5RP
then?
Yes. Exactly!
You have assembled your agency shortly before the label? It's your "real" job, but then you got training there?
is my real job, yes. I have no training in this area of work. Finally say, nothing official, no diploma.

I just found over the years with an incredible amount of contacts. I wanted to try my luck in creating a society individual. It was very difficult at first, but after three years of intense work, I begin to relax a little.
For a neophyte like me, can you explain basically what this kind of job?
The principle is simple: to provide visibility in the European media groups and labels who deserve it.
is a long and complex, which involves a lot of factors independent of each other.
is a long and complex, which involves a lot of factors independent of each other.
So I send records to journalists and radio stations for them to publish reviews, do interviews or working group promoting locally and nationally.
Before all that, I worked a long time for the label Ruminance: promotion, graphic design, inventory management, booking etc.. That's when I made my debut!
I have talked with the group to explain the situation Africantape young fledgling label.
They were impressed, as far as me, so everything is left here.
I owe a lot to Sergio and Massimo Sacha TSK is somewhere thanks to them that the label has become what it is today.
You said earlier that you had always dreamed of publishing, recording or books. Books?
I primarily a literary. Simply!
disks have quickly gained the upper hand over the books for a cost issue, contacts (I'm not in the book) and distribution.
But I do not count not only to the disc with the label. Planned these days, chocolates and biscuits Africantape. Later so why not books?!
What's all this about chocolate and cookies? I'm interested.
I'll develop it with an architect friend who is also a pro biscuits and cooking in general.
cookies and chocolates have the shape of the logo of the label. That's all easy!
They will be sold on the online shop at first. I think I will also provide my clients and friends!
The first copies will arrive in September.
Thank you!
... how does the general acceptance of a new formation in Africantape? You'll find them, they come to you?
There is no rule.
Very often, this is a story of friendship. In the case of Ventura, was very specific: the group was supposed to come out his album on Switzerland Get a Life!.
The label, for reasons I do not know, had to suspend its activity at the same time.
A journalist friend told me about it. I listened to the album, I loved it. It all happened in a way very natural and surprisingly full of coincidences:
A week after listening, I had to go to Switzerland to meet with another group (
Hey ! Tonal
) who was starting his first European tour. So I made an appointment to Ventura so we can meet.
They have been friends for very long, they were at university together and followed both courses of
Anthony Braxton
(Ed.: composer, improviser of genius, close to jazz).
Well, selling the discs is supposed to bear the label. Today, store sales are very low, so the only real possibility for sale is to rotate the groups up. Sometimes I have to reinvest to maintain some continuity in the presence label. In this case, I pick in my savings!
What kind of contract do you propose to groups?
Each case is unique.
Look elsewhere Africantape What is the name fufu?
musical coherence What would you give to your label, what is the relationship between the different artists?
Tough question!
For me, what is the label, it is not hard or artists, but what happens between each output: what is that I will publish such a disc rather than another ?
There is no consistency between Alexis Gideon and Three Second Kiss by example.
They are artists competing in terms of tone and point of view.
But they come together around me, simply because I LOVE it! They are artists competing in terms of tone and point of view.
Some artists I know and are presented like this, word-of-mouth, say.
Some others appear in my mailbox as if by magic.
The Vinyl, no doubt.
to resist and survive in this cruel world!
The label has a defined ethical or you are naturally great?
How many courses are there at all on your label? I counted eleven, but I am a prick with numbers.
There are many eleven for the moment! Shipping News (USA) having just joined the roster.
Here are the details:
Three Second Kiss
(Italy)
Aucan
I have five other drives in preparation for this season. It happens very quickly eighteen!
Five others? Can you tell us a bit more?
The reference number fourteen is a reissue of the debut album by Marvin vinyl and digital: new artwork, remastered.
Reference fifteen is a collaboration with three labels:
Collectif Effervescence-
,
Head Records and
Kythibong
: a double 7 "with groups Paper Tiger , Marvin , Electric Electric and Tire . Reference sixteen is the new album Shipping News, co-production with the label Ruminance. The seventeen is the fantastic Video Music 2 Alexis Gideon. A double LP with DVD. It tells the story of the Monkey Chinese Stone, Sun Wu Kong is absolutely amazing! The eighteen will probably drive some friends to
Honey for Petzi
.
Here! That's a lot of work all that!
