Wow, time flies.

Tonight we're celebrating the 400th release on Brique Rouge, and honestly, I never thought we'd get this far when I started the label in 1999.
Twenty-six years later, we're still keeping a certain idea of house, techno, and electronic music in general alive.
The vibe comes first, fun above all else.

So yeah, we're not the talk of the town, we don't have one of our tracks in the latest Yoplait commercial, and Spotify doesn't even pay us anymore because we're so insignificant.
So what?

We're still here, and we'll go as far as we can.
I keep saying “we,” but I'm not talking about myself as if I were His Majesty the Director. No, I say “we” to highlight the myriad of artists who are part of the adventure and who are increasingly...  more

[briquerouge] is at the leading forefront of House Music since the end of the nineties - Independant House Institute for Proper Underground House Music operating since 1999 - created and managed from France by David Duriez

The label has been founded by David Duriez who is known for making House and proper underground electronic music since the beginning of the 90's - 30 years in the music industry, founder and keeper of the [briquerouge] label, home of the best french electronic renegades since 1999, David Duriez is lurking in the shadow of the french Electronic scene, keeping it real and true. Artist in various styles of music, dj and innovator, he's always in search of new ways to distribute and value Electronic Music and always a step ahead. Definitely not just one for the hype.

Since 1994, David released over a hundred records under his name, tens under various pseudonyms, outputs mainly vinyl on the most renowned labels like 2020Vision, Ovum, Systematic, Pokerflat, F Communication, Mobilee, Under the Counter, Stickman, Classic Music Company, Crosstown Rebels, The End, etc .. (the list is long, see Discogs.com to be convinced) and as many remixes for some of the greatest (think Moby, DJ Hell, Telex, Random Factor, Johnny Fiasco, Paul Johnson, Kenny Hawkes or Mr.C).

Founder of the label Brique Rouge in 1999 and a whole galaxy of other labels, he participated in the creation of internationally recognized labels such as Robsoul, Freak n'Chic or Rz Muzik. David has carved out his own niche with his pigeonhole defying Brique Rouge label, and his helping to redefine the nations underground music. Brique Rouge has released deep house, jacking house, tech-house, acid house, vocal anthems and much more... Definitely a label for open-minded people, not stuck in one genre of House. 

In a time where two thirds of the tracks being released each week are sounding the same, either a click and paste formula track, a midi template used ad nauseum or just a classic being sampled to death, Duriez still think there's hope for House & Techno and focus to keep it true, groovy, creative, with soul.
