Tcheep

Tcheep is back with a pure chill mixtape series: Futuroscope, full of love and passion. Futuroscope, Vol. 1 and Futuroscope, Vol. 2 were acclaimed for quality production and chill mood. Volume 3 is coming early 2022, announced by Goopies, Larmes de croco and Midnight in Barcelona: “This project totally reflects a 36-year old beatmaker who has kept the same ardour since I began at 19, and even more productive !!!” After his path as beatmaker of the French hip-hop band ‘Les Gourmets’, Tcheep went solo to develop his own universe: selective sampling, rich rhythmics and chiseled compositions. Tcheep has released several projects: Technodrome - EP in 2013, Oasis Mecanic in 2014, and Imbéciles heureux album in 2015 with his mate Liqid (and some notable featurings such as Kool Keith and Josman). Then the album Acid Monsters Temple was released in 2016. In the Futuroscope series, you will find east coast (KRS-One, MOP) and jazzy influences, with oriental and Eastern European touches. In his creation process, Tcheep reconnects with the “lo-fi” energy and spontaneity. The result is a multifaceted mixtape you can listen to anytime you want. It will delight chill beats amateurs, diggers, and SP-404 geeks.

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.

This new direct sales channel also makes it possible to fill cultural deserts and to receive your disc on the day of its official release thanks to pre-orders.

In summary, as soon as the Direct-to-fan tag appears, it means that there is only us between the artists, the labels and you.

Within our direct-to-fan offer, you have access to exclusive and limited editions that you will not find anywhere else!

They are improved and increased versions of the standard version are the result of the relationships we have with our partners.

Exclusive editions are at the heart of a release strategy of an album. It is a very strong desire on the part of artists and labels to reward their fans in the first place.

For example: signed edition, numbered edition, colored vinyl, poster, fanzine, felt, concert ticket, patch, alternative visual, cover... This can also be exclusive merchandising sold alone or in a bundle version of the release.

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!

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.

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.
