Record Makers

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.

 Nit is the genius underdog of the current French chanson scene. After playing along with Sébastien Tellier or Juliette Armanet (a huge success in France), after remixing Phoenix, Myd, Dita Von Teese, Cola Boyy, Tony Allen or Jane Birkin, here he comes with his debut album. The balearic sound is always a big nit influence, feel good electronics and lush acoustic chords.

Spotted by French label Record Makers (Sébastien Tellier, Kavinsky, AIR, Cola Boyy) with his 2017 “Dessous de plage” first EP, Nit has since grown from funky DIY library music to a lush and complex groovy sound. The magic of this debut album Big Bang Puzzle is a keen sense of composition and an innate affinity for 90’s European electronica.

It’s a playful album, the work of an artist at the peak of his craft, determined to twist styles and references (Daft Punk, Ennio Morricone, Robert Miles, Vangelis...) in order to give them a new form.

Big Bang Puzzle is a tangle of psychedelic and cartoon-esque pieces, an abstract modernist painting of sounds inspired by vintage pop music. The cover, created by Swiss artist Flora Mottini, offers a first glimpse of his brand new universe.

But it’s also by collaborating with French iconic design studio H5 that nit suddenly enters the French Touch genealogy. nit takes the shape of an n that grows legs and arms to become a cheeky cartoon character traveling through a real space-time continuum. Parisian H5 studio has been involved since the end of the ‘90s in the design of strong visual concepts for French Touch’s elite (Etienne de Crécy, AIR, Mirwais). French music at its best from which nit is a direct descendant. And one who expands and opens even further: pop, italo-disco, trip-hop impulses, Morriconian cavalcades, lo-fi aesthetics, Caribbean music. Producer and mixer Lucien Krampf (Oklou, Ascendant Vierge, Casual Gabberz, CRYSTALLMESS) was the person in charge of mixing this ambitious record. nit is both a question and an answer, and a musical enigma that pushes us to explore the far reaches of our imagination…
