Mr. Botibol in studio this summer!

Mon, 03 May 2010 15:30:00 +0100

It was last July when Mr. Botibol stole our hearts away with his first album, recorded alongside Pascal Mondaz (Cocoon, The Elderberries). Although influenced by Elliott Smith, Grizzly Bear, Jeff Buckley, and even Sufjan Stevens, this Bordeaux troubadour unveils a folk universe all his own where xylophone, guitar and voice mingle in a veritable woollen ball of loops. While you wait for the release of his album, scheduled for the second half of 2010, have a look at his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/Botibol. The first EP is already on line!

Goodbye Blakfish

Mon, 03 May 2010 15:30:01 +0100

After a busy 10 years in the biz, our beloved Blakfishes are to split, leaving a manic pantheon of melodic rock ditties and an army of heartbroken fans. Dry your eyes... a collector’s version of their latest album, Champions, is now available. A fitting trophy to these Birmingham winners!

Hip Hip Hip Hooray!

HipHipHip Session # 1 at the Aeronef, Lille January 28, 2010!

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:31:27 +0100

The first in what we hope will become a regular night out - Hiphiphip Session #1 welcomes the Pharaohs, Blakfish and HIM to the Lille scene. 3 groups from the label and 3 artists who’ll feature on M Botibol, a future Hiphiphip production (2010)! Hiphiphip Session #1 will not only be an opportunity to celebrate the recent launch of the label, but it promises to be a stellar show from all three groups.

And what better location to celebrate this historic moment than the Aeronef – the temple of amplified music in Lille for the last 20 years?

Northerners and Belgians, do not miss this event!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells... Blakfish style?

It's Christmas time!

And even if singing a Christmas ditty would be just the thing to do on December 15, we’re going to try and control ourselves...
Blakfish, on the other hand…
Did I say a Christmas ditty? A huge Christmas single more like! It’s here and it’s hot!

Marvins Revolt at Ankama!

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:29:35 +0100

Imagine...
A room with a parquet floor, and Northern attics.
A bay window several tens of meters long.
An outdoor timber patio.
A panoramic view of a post-industrial landscape.
Yes! You think so too?

On November 26, we had the Marvins over to Ankama HQ for filming - Siberia, Likewise, Taking One for the Nation...

A wild video

In a unique setting

... Very soon!

If you intend to have some music under the tree this year...

... You'll be pleased to hear that Hiphiphip’s first four releases are out today!

Digipacks made of recycled cardboard, high-quality 180 gr vinyl: the choice of textures and products comes from a genuine desire to keep the prices down.
As you’ll see on our shop !

Crafted folk from Patriotic Sunday, disco math rock from Minaars, freshness with the Phraohs and power melodies with Marvins Revolt, you will surely find something for you among these four albums!
Enjoy!
