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.

No Format's new release Synthetic Hearts is a synthesis of sound and style. As a collaborative project between critically acclaimed artists, South African musicians Msaki and Tubatsi Mpho Moloi join French cellist Clément Petit on the label's experimental new release. With Synthetic Hearts, Tubatsi Mpho Moloi, Msaki and Clément Petit issue an invitation to the listener and lover to journey to another place. Here, hearts, experiences, and sounds meet, shift and evolve across an inventive nine track album. Experimental, playful and complex, the project merges voices, instruments and sounds, across geographies and genres, creating sparse, yet lush atmospherics that spin on the universal themes of love. As skilled musical shapeshifters, Synthetic Hearts melds Msaki and Moloi's folk sensibilities with electronic elements, as Petit teases out distinct textures from his cello across the record. On Synthetic Hearts, love, longing, confusion, sorrow, despondency and queries are opened up and negotiated in songs that vibrate with their naked, honest and tender vulnerability.
