Describe 3 seminal moments in Correspondant existence?
The first release of course (Nhar). The first release of Red Axes “Camino de Dreyfuss” featuring a killer remix of Rebolledo and the compilation 03 who got the label a lot more attention. There are more moments of course, but those three made the label really grow.
Most disappointing moment in Correspondant existence?
I can’t really think of anything really… We encounter difficulties that we overcome most of the time. Disappointment has a strong meaning..
Describe Correspondant album artwork?
Stephane Jourdan is responsible of the graphic identity of the label since day one. Since this year we offer residencies to artists, photographers and illustrators as well. At the moment all the sleeves are pictures made by Nadine Frazckowski, a great addition to the music. I love her work.
Best Correspondant showcase?
Too many…. First time Panorama Bar was amazing, Andrew Weatherall’s set at Nitsa, Man Power at Rex, Andre Bratten at Le Sucre… Really can’t choose, every one is special, just come!
Worst Correspondant showcase?
We prefer small venues and choose carefully so we actually always have a nice time. It’s also very unlikely that it turns into a nightmare as we all know each other and are always happy to see each other.
Dream Correspondant artist?
He did some remixes and had a track on the compilation 3 .. I would really love to work more with Roman Flugel. I recently moved and went through my record collection and there is so much smart diverse and beautiful music from Roman. Andre Bratten was also a little dream, looking forward to have him back on the label soon..!
Most important business/music app/program/software?
Your brain ! 😉
Longest Day(s) ever worked?
14 hours non stop and then a full weekend of playing and then right back into it .. compilations can be very challenging as I’m such a track list maniac.
Upcoming projects?
More label showcases as part of our 5 year anniversary celebration and a new label called Autumn dedicated to special and more indie/band projects. In the next months we will release music from Javi Redondo, Red Axes, Uriah Klapter and Yovav on Correspondant
