Label of musical variety, D *** head man Records, as it is named moderately, "Dick" for the close friends, harangue the idler in the concerts without
labels, making the advertisement of its acoustic choices, as it is characterized by the wearing of head: majestueusement. Born in Grenoble in 1977,
living and working alternatively in Amsterdam, London and Toulouse, Dick lets itself influence by the silence of Reykjavik the days of rain. And there is
extremely to bet that the trouble played a dominating part in its desire to launch out in the industry of the music. The days are long in Iceland. Nights
too.
However the analogy is completed here. DhmR will be incontestably with the industry of the disc what Paul Lafargue was with the development of
capitalism: useless and irritant. Déstructurant systematically the musical kinds, Dick touches with all and is posted as a producer of general-purpose
and exceptionally gifted artists. Constituting a prolix and chamarré catalogue, which does nothing but grow in an exponential way since its creation in
2003, the DhmR artists pass from a kind to a music of experiment. With glare, DhmR supports musical diversity. And its artists hop of a a little mutant
French song - that Carla Bruni would not disavow - to hardware-rock'n'roll-muscular-of-families as a practitioner of the lifting turnings by pop deviating,
a déstructurée dub or a perfectly suspect electronica jazzy. A punk spell-binding stresses with rage and enthusiasm: "Swell, wire of dog! "We are in
truth. At DhmR, the trance goa makes vibrate the tympanums and perspire the gums as it should be. And each kind is faithful to its criteria. We are
not disappointed. We are filled. All is good and even more. As a cinnamon superabundance in black and white APPLE That overflows, we have the
teeth of the bottom which bathe. And when our ears are cooked, they should be eaten! Tablecloths and layers of references. Such an amount of and
so that anything is not used for to be delayed there, except to pass beside its pleasure.
To sail with lyricism and lightness of a register to another for better levelling them and retaining only the systemic presence of D *** head man
Records: vast musical project which consists with all to pass by the prism of the Moulinex robot and to extract a music glocale from it, a not-kind
aporetic and A-commercial, combining all current typologies. Motorized by deep and ambiguous desire of glorifier and to ridicule the standards in turn,
to make listening stupid, to admit and (perhaps) to make admit that apart from D *** head man Records nothing can survive which is not seriously
impertinent, DhmR is made crushing film musics, musics of George, vinyls collectors on sale in the vats, of FFFF and others bombastic estampillés
albums Inrock, of brass bands to gogo potential which will never leave the field of the suppository. Here a label of artists which degreases the music
plastician! And as with some abrasive cotton bud, we will be delighted by one "that hurt, but it is good! ".
Arm-top, arm-below
Mass Murder Mouses, Regina, Ggru, Raoul Beckman or Super Whodunnit are formations produced by DhmR, but also made up members who melt
the label. Also, everyone scrambles the tracks: about thirty groups for forty discs produced to date; a hard core and about fifteen artists on the whole.
Multitrack, multipost, all are influenced and compete in a play of unfolding inspired by the schtroumpfs, or the girls are évanescentes and the malicious
malicious ones. Pirate recordings of the DhmR catalogue circulate inside even of the corpus. It is said that some seek the putsch. That Dick is a
tyrant who never leaves his room. That it controls all; at several places at the same moment. That it would be at the origin of a project about which the
first rule is not to speak about it. Artist demiurge with the thousand patronyms, Dick does not leave anything randomly. One day, it will come to strike
with your door and will have sought it to you.
In the action, Dick does not neglect however the theory and makes of DhmR the experimental ground of vast reflexions. Label in the large heart,
DhmR is at the same time the origin and the consequence of the Proclamation actualist in music, or the perpetual sound at the time of its
technological ductility. In other words: nothing better is done today only what is done today. And nothing can be pleasant any more, saving and
vivifying to modulate what occurs at the same time the worst and of better, and to enjoy it. Passer by of an unutterable joy to make fun of the toughest
stereotypes to the simple pleasure of a music of elevator, the collective shines by its modesty and the not-specialization of its production. And
considering that with the first listens any qualitative claim with the pretty direction of the term to water, that does it remain falls? A test, a perpetual
effort, a permanent accident, a slalom haletant and capsizing of a kind with another, a medical race naked feet in the building site of the varieties of
Virgin Megastore, a cuisante victory over the "music of disc"! More than one label, Dick represents the New Man. Determined by all that is done of
"means", it embraces with arm the body the artists of the whole world. Right now, it côtoie largest. It is claimed of all and all claims it. Its notoriety will
be undeniable so much its ambition is tentacular. The Eternal Dick Network is not has virtual crime!
