We created Unique Records in June 2001 (now renamed We Are Unique ! Records), and remained faithful to our basic manifesto - to defend complex and original music, across various musical styles. To promote the originality of our productions beyond business rules.

Despite the ever-growing difficulty of being an independent label, we've got through, and we've found a faithful audience, willing to hear our attempts of renewing the so-called independent music. We've also met successful critic response (Les Inrockuptibles, Magic!, Coda, Rock Sound, Rolling Stone, Mouvement, Trax, etc.).

We Are Unique ! Records has developed in France and abroad, collaborating with fellow French labels (Another Record, Monopsone, Effervescence, and Drunkdog) and foreign ones: Chemikal Underground, Moonpalace, Superglider, Megaphone Music. We have broadened our broadcasting network to USA, Canada, UK, Japan, Sweden, Poland, Portugal, and (hopefully) more countries will come soon.

Our signed artists include ANGIL & THE HIDDENTRACKS, LE FLEGMATIC, MICHAEL WOOKEY, RAYMONDE HOWARD, INFLATABLE DEAD HORSE, OLD MOUNTAIN STATION, LION IN BED, SAFFRON EYES, MELATONINE, 0°, LUNT, HALF ASLEEP, MIDGET!... We constantly keep seeking continuity, currently releasing the sequel albums of artists who brought their first efforts to our label. We obviously keep looking for new talents - which is one of our priorities, with still the same everlasting spirit of sincerity and integrity.

Ambient textural soundscapes, sometimes with the backbone of structure, sometimes not at all. Often borrowing from experimental rock, drones, psychedelic music, ambient, electronic/synthscapes, beat frequencies, minimalist, soundtrack and classical. I am also bad at describing things.

Tools I use, lots of loopers and things that create evolving  "space", prepared guitar, bowed/ebowed, or not, various synths, contact mics, gongs and other purcussion, field recordings, happy accidents and improvisation.

Some mostly recent and/or self-released tracks on here. My website (dronecloud.org) is the place to go for a more complete picture.
