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.

With their ability to move seamlessly from the triangle to the donkey jaw, cymbals to Chinese gong, vibraphone to wind machine, percussionists are undoubtedly the most atypical members of the classical orchestra 

Paul Changarnier, Nicolas Cousin and Alexandre Esperet are a case in point. Having set their sights on the marimba - Latin American xylophone, cousin of the African balafon - they decided to use it as the main vehicle for their artistic dreams. 

With the label No Format, they embarked on a project which would see them taking on pop hits of the kind that are produced in mega studios on the other side of the Atlantic and dazzle with a thousand lights and special effects. But they wanted to do it without leaving France or their beloved instruments. They wanted to make pop without machines, guitars, bass or synths. 

They ended up finding a hitherto unknown instrumental formula that belongs to them and them only, one conceived as the perfect fit for the voices from the well- known French artists that were called upon to interpret the songs. Camille, with her extraordinary energy, makes Rihanna's 'Don't Stop the Music' waltz in a new organic mode; Blick Bassy redecorates Ariana Grande's 'One Last Time' in the colours of Bassa; Malik Djoudi envelopes Frank Ocean's 'Super Rich Kids' with a subtle ethereal texture; Camelia Jordana made her mark on this bonanza of reinvention by slowing down the tempo of 'Dance Monkey'; The voice of Sandra Nkake imbued Lana del Rey's 'Video Games' with a solemn and sublime mystery. 

Like an old love that's rediscovered with new eyes, an air that comes back from far away but could have been born today, somehow familiar but never seen before. Deja vu but never heard until now.
