Record Makers is an independent label founded in 2000 by AIR and their associates Marc Teissier du CROS and Stephane ELFASSI, following the release of their soundtrack for Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides.

Record Makers is devoted to showing that the French can make beautiful music for the world. We decided that the successes of acts like AIR, Daft Punk or Carla Bruni were not isolated "export wonders" and that French music has a strong potential, even if not exclusively dance or "Chanson".

"One day Sebastien TELLIER's club anthem ("La Ritournelle") will be huge." NME January 2005.

Focused on production, Record Makers also handles publishing and therefore has a strong network in cinema, advertising and fashion:
- Sofia COPPOLA's The Virgin Suicide soundtrack by AIR;
- Sébastien TELLIER's motion picture score for french film Narco;
- DSL's work for Hedi SLIMANE's Dior Homme 2003 couture show;
- Record Maker's release of John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13.

Our main signing policy is to trust the most innovative people around us, those who have difficulties broadcasting their music in France for various reasons: too much talent, to many english lyrics, personalities too far out, ideas too progressive...

We try to develop our artists' work on a long term basis and therefore try to find the best network for each artist. In other words, Record Makers has no exclusive label deal and works with the most motivated structures. Though we don't have a specific music style attached to us, we mainly work with rock, electronic and pop orientated artists... Their common link being a sort of hazy romanticism inherent to Record Makers' vision of modern music.
We also work very carefully on visuals, videos, trying to connect the musicians with the most innovative graphic designers or video makers on the scene.
