>>> COD3 QR: label mission statement

Music is our sole driving force. Eclecticism, open-mindedness, divergence and non-conformity are the values we cherish. To achieve this, 3 or 4 artists from different musical backgrounds will come together on each release.
All of our artists, whether known or unknown, will work under a secret code name so that their true identities remain out of the public domain to avoid any preconceived ideas or a particular bias. By doing this, the music will always come first. Each release will be identified by a simple QR code, which, when flashed, will take you to a web page that will give, among other things, the artist's code name.
In the current market, most digital and vinyl sales occur over an average period of 2 months. Once this time period has elapsed, the true identity of each artist (if they wish) will finally be revealed on our web site. It is only then, two months after the release that the artists will be allowed to start communicating.
Contrary to the usual practice, COD3 QR will search out artists rather than the other way around, so it won't be possible to send us music. The founders of COD3 QR will also remain anonymous because their identities must not affect the image, expectations or perception of the label. To ensure anonymity, all of our artists will sign a contract agreeing to keep silent or be economical with the truth about the identity of those behind the label and the artists.
The music alone will be the reason why we sign an artist, and we want music to be the only reason for people to take an interest and engage with the label. For this to succeed, we must remain free of all expectations and all prejudices because only one thing counts: the music, The Music, THE MUSIC in every shape and form!  
  
COD3 QR = MUSIC TO AROUSE CURIOSITY

TESTIMONY - Permission

Dj / Producer
Techno / Techno House / Deep House/ and More

Nicolas Cad is a French DJ producer. With musical training at the conservatory (piano, alto sax) he is also passionate about percussion (djembe, darbouka, congas).
It was in 1995, being already well immersed in hiphop and after seeing Cut Killer, Crazy B, Abdel and other renowned djs, that Nicolas Cad decided to invest in mixing and signed up for the DMC training which was for him the best reference. At first mainly focused on rap, a few years later he fell in love with electronic music by investing in Parisian nights and playing in most Parisian clubs as a guest (Queen, Loco, Duplex, Bains showers, Métropolis, Scala, Bash, Antares) as well as in French and Dutch free parties and festivals. This allowed him to discover a world that will mark him for a long time.
Since his arrival in the south of France and after having met djs from all musical backgrounds, he has mainly invested in musical composition for djs, promos and short films, all while playing in regional clubs and web-radios.
Today signed on several labels (Nocturbulous records, Althéa records, Bonzaï Boys, Miami Boys music, Divergentes recording), Nicolas Cad mainly composes electro titles (Deep House, Techno House, House, Melodic Techno, Techno) and seeks to produce sounds that would come out of the standards and would stand out for their atmospheres.
