Archipel is a cool indie record label & music publisher founded in 2015 & based in France. We imagine ourselves as the 'Home Sweet Home' of our artists. Where they can create, where they can hide, where they can share, where they can produce or just sit& watch the world...

The frontman for the Alternative Rock band “The Afro Nick” pulls from his experiences as a child growing up on Crete, an Island between the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. His earliest memories were the gypsies on the Venetian cobblestone streets, playing their guitars for coins. Although he may come from meager and anonymous beginnings, The Afro Nick, located now in NYC, compensates with his musical constructions and crooning lyrics that are played with breathless urgency, universal appeal and explosive participation. For The Afro Nick, his life is within his music. Like nights before and nights to come he chases the ultimate high for all musicians -- to simply play. On stage, he is encompassed in his fervor, negligent of the world around him. His album “Make It” is a live recording plus a studio track intended to incite a frenzy among listeners with its eclectic, alternative, and twisted lyrics that brings a masterful confidence to the music arena, all filmed and available on DVD. “Make It,” the album’s title track, is a punching guitar riff-driven song with surging soulful choruses flavored with moments of indie-rock funk. A battle hymn that incites the listener to push through their invisible constraints and hold up their clubs yelling their liberation. If one had to describe the musician in one song, “Don’t Waste My Time” epitomizes his ideology in life. Intensity and strife are abundant, but neither takes away from the carefree nature inherent in our lives. A simple message that the song preaches - have FUN! It’s a cheering anthem for those looking to grab life in a vise like grip.

The Hangora project was born in 2013.
An astonishing duo of two brothers from Marseille, Hangora is a family adventure endowed with great musical and stylistic versatility.
Atypical and magical journey to the heart of the biotope, Hangora explores the range of possibilities with a multitude of instruments and sounds. The Amabile brothers draw their musical inspiration from cutting-edge repertoires ranging from classical and contemporary avant-garde music to trip-hop, jazz and traditional music.
Borrowing from jazz and traditional rhythms, their electronic compositions are skilfully studied and their instruments carefully chosen.
Their live performance, of great progressiveness, is recognized by the bewitching and shamanic rhythms that they distill to the organic and acoustic sound of their instrumental practice.
"The musical framework of the project is composed from the great rhythmic bases of minimal techno music. By proceeding with a rhythmic and melodic purification in our productions, we mix synthetic materials with acoustic elements. The objective being to to obtain an organic alloy that brings acoustics into dialogue with electronics"

Avec une guitare, une boite à rythmes et quelques synthétiseurs on essaye de trouver notre équilibre entre le rock des Strokes ou de Joy Division et le dancefloor de Daft Punk ou d'Arnaud Rebotini...
