Created by Varoslav, Rue de Plaisance is a French music label and artistic project that aims to stand at the crossovers of graphic art and music. The only rule that guides the artistic orientation of the Label is “What I like” according to Varoslav words. Since its creation in 2011, the label appreciates records – avoiding digital releases. From one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, the art
ists signed on Rue de Plaisance consist in a tasty mix of electronic music musicians, rich and eclectic. From the Detroit producer Norm Talley to the very Parisian Gaffy, going through Berlin with Yakine and Alan Doe, Rue de Plaisance tends to develop a truly musical identity rather than a geographical one. After 20 releases, the label aims to promote musical quality by attracting hidden as well as multifarious talented artists. Artists such as the Parisian Professor Inc, the Detroit native Gari Romalis, the Dutch from Novio Dub Tribe (aka Roger Gerressen & friends) and Ivano Telepta and the German producers Liviu Groza and Skipson belong to the Rue de Plaisance crew. As mentioned above, Rue de Plaisance is an artistic collective that focuses also on visual and graphic arts. Working exclusively with Virassamy, artist from the Bordeaux Region exiled in Berlin who imagines and draws all the covers of each releases issued from Rue de Plaisance, as well as every art work related to the Label, Rue de Plaisance often organizes exhibition to highlight Virassamy work in various European cities (Paris, Barcelona, Berlin). From Lima to Barcelona stopping by London, Brussels and Berlin, the label also gathers its fans all together throughout its label nights in club as Watergate, Rex Club, Fuse…. R2P parties attract techno and house lovers for four years already and this is only the beginning!
