Bonne St-Jean!
It’s with grat pleasure that Archipel, Montreal based label, has 2 releases for you to get for free.

We feel very lucky to have the chance to do the digital distribution of this high end product with detailed and sophisticated sound design. It certainly gives a whole new sense to what traditional Quebec music could in 100 years. Don’t wait and check it out now.
After his recent set at Montreal Picnik Electronik, DJ Sodeyama now has his first EP on Archipel being available for free. Discover a really rich journey into a nicely blend of techno and house with a warm, lush feeling.

“Mess-Age From The Black Forest” EP by Rico Casazza
Our UK/Italian friend Rico has been uber-productive enough to send us a huge batch of music lately. We have been working on this second EP of him on Archipel with the idea of making a logical follow-up to his previous appearance. This new release is still warm and melodic while introducing us a few of his friends too. Certainly he has now all the good reasons to chill outside because this EP certainly welcomes the summer on the right note.
Stefny Winter’s “Migratory Insertion” now for free!
After release 2 back to back, seriously beautifully intelligent mixes as podcasts, we’re thrilled to share abroad her first EP on Archipel. This witty crafted release features 3 tracks that can only but grow on you like vines on an brick wall. It is worth a few listens in deep contemplation to appreciate dance music on another level.

[archpl016] Rudolf is a poet

“Wax Poetic” EP by Rudolf (Vinyl, digital)
There’s now no doubt at all that Rudolf might be Archipel’s sexiest man ever and just adding some extra mind twisting tunes on vinyl might just turn all DJs very frisky. Some fresh, light and heavy rhythms are dropped with a very matured artist here and it takes a good listen on a big sound system to get all the subtle side of this record.
Check it out now, get fresh!!!!
