No Format

No Format is a French label that was founded in 2004 by Laurent Bizot. Operating under the legal name Nø Førmat, this label has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. With an impressive roster of talented artists and performers, No Format has become known for its innovative and boundary-pushing releases.

Since its inception, No Format has been dedicated to showcasing unique and diverse musical styles. The label's commitment to artistic freedom and experimentation has allowed it to foster a vibrant community of musicians who are unafraid to push the boundaries of their craft.

With a focus on quality over quantity, No Format carefully curates each release, ensuring that every album represents the best of what its artists have to offer. From jazz and world music to electronica and experimental sounds, No Format offers a wide range of genres for music lovers to explore.

Following Pre-Choreographed released in April 2020 where he mixed his classical pieces with electronic sounds and started developing the relationship between dance and music, Japanese pianist Koki Nakano is back with Oceanic Feeling. The music deals with his inability to fully live in this so-called oceanic feeling, capturing thus the composer's longing, frustration and ultimately search for harmony within his own limitations.

He composed much of Oceanic Feeling while watching dancers move to what he played and the album's singles come accompanied by mesmerizing videos featuring renowned choreographers and performers such as Tess Voelker and Marion Motin. Musically speaking, Nakano is constantly moving through the grey area between intellect and instinct on here. Tracks oftentimes feel simple, and in that simplicity, genuinely touching. Yet behind every piano key is a complex, layered recording system developed by the artist himself that gives sounds a unique depth. Oceanic Feeling is an impressive avantgarde journey that moves and stirs without ever losing balance.
