Les Disques Du Soleil Et De L'Acier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Les Disques Du Soleil Et De L'Acier (Translated from French as Sun and Steel Records), or DSA, is a French record label created in the '80s by Gerard Nguyen, already author of the fanzine Atem, and producer of the duo Kas Product. Still active today, and renowned for the discovery of artists such as Pascal Comelade, Ulan Bator, Sylvain Chauveau, the list goes on...

The name of the label is directly inspired by one of Yukio Mishima's essay published in 1968, Taiyō to tetsu (Sun and Steel).

In 2005, DSA releases Sylvain Chauveau's "Down to the bone", selling several thousands of copies, but never paid the royalties due to the artist. Chauveau finally decided to leave the label and joined UK's Type in 2007. Gerard Nguyen is well-known in the music business for not paying his debts.
