Circus Company is an independent French label, founded in 2000 in Paris. With an international audience and repertoire, it is currently run by Mathias Duchemin.

Although it began its activities as part of the minimal house scene, Circus Company's productions soon reached broader horizons, blending house music tones with the heritage of funk, jazz and a touch of experimentation. Inspired by musicians such as Matthew Herbert, Losoul and Mr Oizo, its first EPs were released in 2001, followed in 2003 by a first album by Ark, a French artist whose inventiveness, curiosity and eccentricity would provide a lasting influence on the label.

In 2006, *Dave Aju* was the first foreign artist to be signed to Circus Company, followed by *My My*, *Seth Troxler* and *Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts*. Artists from Germany or Canada alongside French artists such as Nôze or dOP brought a new energy to Circus Company whose activities soon reached clubs such as the Batofar, the Nouveau Casino,the Rex Club and the international scene.

Over the years,the label has broadened its musical palette. *Nôze*, Les Fils du Calvaire,dOP,Dani Siciliano or Ezéchiel Pailhès have explored electronic music at the crossroads of pop music and chanson often with a sense of humour and

With his new instrumental album Ventas Rumba, the French composer (and singer) returns to his signature instrument, the piano, blending it with warm synth tones. This album represents a "return to his roots ", allowing Ezéchiel Pailhès to reinvent himself in a seamless way while still exploring ballads and ritornellos, halfway between light-heartedness and melancholy. Ezéchiel Pailhès has been meaning to write a solo piano album for as long as he can remember. Hardly surprising, of course, for this academically-trained pianist, brought up on classical music and then studied jazz. Yet, since his 2001 debut with the electro-pop duo Nôze, and his subsequent four albums, the artist had constantly postponed this project that was so close to his heart. Then in 2022, just as he was getting ready to start producing an album of new songs, this long-standing aim finally materialized. The melodies he wrote seemed to stand on their own naturally, spurring him on to compose this series of fourteen tracks, recorded in sesssplit between France and Latvia.
