Crydamoure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crydamoure (a variation of the French phrase cri d'amour or "cry of love") is a French house record label owned by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, one half of the duo Daft Punk. The label was founded in 1997, with "Holiday on Ice" being the first release by de Homen-Christo and his label co-owner Eric Chedeville (under the guise of Le Knight Club). Crydamoure was one of the first French house labels to incorporate band and guitar influences into its production.

The launch of Crydamoure (absent of Thomas Bangalter) was a chance for de Homem-Christo to embark on a sound different from Daft Punk, and also a chance to bring budding new producers such as Raw Man and Play Paul into the limelight. As de Homem-Christo concentrated on other projects and partnerships, so too did Bangalter, who also owned his own record label called Roulé. This gave Bangalter a chance to release his own music, but also to work with his friend DJ Falcon, calling their collaborations Together.
