Serge Manzato and Denis Halleux joined the label in April and July 2021.
We are friends and the label is equally owned and managed by the three of us.
We launched the label and we're running it according to our passion for music and desire to help artists and bands we like.
We come from different musical universes but we all fell in love with music in our childhood.
At first music enthusiasts, some of us have also been actors in the music scene for years.
We all have our area of expertise and are highly complementary in the label management.
MEUSE MUSIC RECORDS+EVENTS is an independent music label, mail order and events promoter for
Atmospheric/Melodic Black/Doom, Funeral Doom, Black, Post-Black, ..., Shoegaze, ..., and everything we like in between...
We are located in Liège (Belgium), on the Meuse river valley which gave her name to the label.
We propose to assure the storage, the selling and the distribution of your products, globally or a part of it according the chosen collaboration solution.
In case you're in need for a recording studio and/or a sound engineer to finalize your works, we can put you in touch with great people from all over the world.
Our goal is to promote underground music and help artists/bands we like.
Nothing more, nothing less.
In this perspective, our mission is to help artists/bands to produce their physical formats and offer their music to the world in a different form than the digital consumerist one.
CD and Vinyl are such beautiful and desired objects for lots of people like us...
We treat each submission and/or requests case by case and our deals are built with your collaboration in the same way.
We have deals and terms basis ready and successfully experienced, but everything remains possible and modulable!
We want to see 'our' artists/bands and the label grow together, became known, recognized and gratified for their artistic works while earning some money as well to be able to keep projects alive.
If you're sharing our way of thinking about the artistic aspects and the music business, give us the opportunity to listen to your music and discuss about your wishes and needs!
We consider digital music sales and streaming platforms represent the biggest organized theft of all time and the face of unrespect about artists/band and their works.
We consider such selling is only generating piracy and noticeable lack of physical sales.
We'd like to live in a world where musicians can remain musicians, doing what they like selling their music products instead of becoming traveling t-shirts salesmen to barely survive with their music.
We believe the underground music should keep its underground essence and we prefer to leave digital music for mainstream artists/bands, which digital generates incomes for.
We do not offer to represent you, your physicals products or your merchandising on festivals and/or concerts venues, etc., …, but we will be present on our own events with your physicals.
The label is not a booking agency, but for 'our' artists/bands we're always keen to help you find dates and locations for you to play live.
In the same way, we're not a management agency, but we're always happy to provide advice about your concerns or helps on not related to physical products and production topics.
