Third Side records

The idea to start a music label came

with a simple assessment : if technology enabled new creation and recording

methods to happen and new musical scenes to emerge, these breakthroughs

seem to have taken their toll on musics soul and meaning. If todays computers

and technology bring freedom, emotion can sometime be lost in this quest

for a perfect sound. The label definitely aims at putting record craftsmanship

to the foreground when facing the industrys giants, and sides with other

human-size independent labels that are already home of tomorrows talents.



Third Side Records was founded at the end of 2001 by

Michel Nassif, Antoine Chabert, and David Abplanalp-Estimé. Rather

than a definite musical genre the label wants to defend a spirit for which

the sound serves a musical meaning (Sounds that make sense, the labels

motto). In 2005 the international development is a priority. A few years

ago the French Touch attracted international attention on French productions,

and in 2006 Third Side shows that pop music coming from France definitely

has its place on the international scene.
