The two brothers were born and raised in front of the Jersey Island, they are now based in Paris. Their music is both inspired by French-touch and Indie rock of the BBC radio waves they could pick up during their childhood on the Normandy coast. They have built a strong reputation for their live performance mixing electronic music and rock energy. Their first EP was released last year and was followed by a sold out world tour that has just ended.
In the music industry, direct-to-fan is the equivalent of short circuit in food. It's like buying fruits and vegetables directly from the producer.
Like the short food circuit, the direct-to-fan purchase guarantees fairer remuneration for artists and labels (about 75% of a direct-to-fan sale goes to the producer), allowing them to sustain the development of their artistic projects.
The number of intermediaries is reduced to a minimum and transport costs, as well as the associated CO2 emissions, are optimized.

Pre-order
Pre-ordering is above all a relationship of trust since you make your purchase in advance in exchange for the promise of delivery at a later date.
But did you know it's much more than that?
Pre-ordering avoids overproduction and therefore overstocking. It gives us the opportunity to pay labels and artists ahead of the release of an album, to cover part of the many expenses related to the production and promotion of a record before it is in your hands.
Pre-ordering is an opportunity on all levels; pre-ordering means reserving your copy to avoid possible stock shortages, giving artists and labels more leeway and offering us the logistical flexibility to deliver to you on the right date.
Warning: Remember to look carefully at the shipping date shown on the product page!
Re-Vinyl
100% Recycling vinyl record Environmentally friendly products
The Re-Vinyl offers you a sustainable alternative. The vinyl record is produced using 100% recycled materials from the in-house material recovery directly at the pressing plant Optimal Media in Germany (Our exclusive partner for pressing).
Whether as Black and or as Coloured Re-Vinyl with random colour composition, all records are with the DIN standards for industrially manufactured vinyl records.
The PVC granulate is obtained by the shredding of edge trimmings and production returns and is free of paper residues and dirt.
Black Re-Vinyl
Vinyl record made of 100 % black recycled PVC.
Coloured Re-Vinyl
Vinyl record made of 100 % multi-coloured recycled PVC. Every vinyl record is one of a kind: the colour composition depends on the raw material available and cannot be selected freely.
BioVinyl
Sustainability and ecology are becoming more and more part of social consciousness, hence the need to find solutions within the production of vinyl records to reduce the use of fossil raw materials and CO2 emissions.
BioVinyl is a sustainable product made from bio-based PVC and is proven to be the most reliable alternative to PVC on the market.
The oil formerly necessary for the production of S-PVC is replaced here by the recycling of used cooking oils or industrial waste gases for a quality identical to a conventional standard or color pressing.
In addition, the entire BioVinyl manufacturing process is subject to ISCC PLUS certification, which guarantees a responsible and sustainable PVC sector in terms of the circular economy and transparency in the supply chain.
