Discograph

Discograph was a French independent record label and distributor founded in 1998 by Olivier Lacourt, who was treasurer of the Syndicat des producteurs indépendants, an administrator of the Société civile des producteurs indépendants, and president of the Victoires de la Musique in 2006. Based in the Île-de-France region, the label operated for more than a decade and grew to become the fourth-largest independent label in France. It signed or distributed a diverse roster of artists and groups, including AaRON, HushPuppies, Cocoon, Kill the Young, Angus and Julia Stone, Housse de Racket, la Team Nowhere, Stuck in the Sound, Puppetmastaz, Le Peuple de l'herbe, Coralie Clément, Brisa Roché, Demis Roussos, Bang Gang, General Elektriks, The Elderberries, The Craftmen Club, and Melissmell. After entering judicial reorganization (redressement judiciaire), Discograph merged into Harmonia Mundi in 2012, ending its independent existence. The label is remembered as a notable player in the French independent music scene of the 2000s.
