Record Makers is a music label that was founded in 2000 by Air (Nicolas Godin & Jean-Benoît Dunckel) along with their associates Marc Teissier du Cros and Stéphane Elfassi. With a focus on electronic and alternative music, the label quickly gained recognition for its unique sound and innovative approach to production.

Throughout its history, Record Makers has been home to some of the most influential artists in the industry. From *Air* themselves to other notable acts such as Sebastien Tellier, Kavinsky, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, the label has consistently delivered groundbreaking music that pushes boundaries and defies genres.

In 2004, Air decided to step away from their roles within Record Makers. However, this did not hinder the label's success or creative output. Under the continued guidance of Marc Teissier du Cros and Stéphane Elfassi, Record Makers has continued to thrive and evolve, remaining at the forefront of cutting-edge music.

Acid Washed, a duo that arose from the second wave of French house, are bringing back everything that house music comprises, including its political, social, utopian, and more subversive matters. Legendary club culture, with its heroes and its secret stories, is where Andrew Claristidge and Richard d'Alpert found the ideas of pretty much everything that they wanted to inject into Acid Washed. Considered a return to the origins of house and techno music after a euphoric first album, 'House of Melancholy' proposes a synthetic cocktail - a highly idiosyncratic return to the origins of their own house and techno. Those who only see Acid Washed as a pair of skillful technicians of vintage synths and references are in for a surprise. Recorded after traveling twice around the world, 'House of Melancholy' is the soundtrack of Claristidge and d'Alpert's lives, following the leap into the void. Without ever getting to the shores of electro-pop, the duo puts a little more of real, heavy pop, of '70s Italian variety, of Morricone, or Philip Glass soundtracks, and very pure electronica in their dance music. Particularly, Andrew and Richard surrounded themselves with friends to celebrate better: the exceptionally-gifted Joakim at the production board, as well as Yan Wagner, Miss Kittin, Ahmad Larnes, Hypnolove, Turzi, and La Mverte. 'House of Melancholy' is a human adventure and an ode to music which unites bodies and souls.
