The French house and techno don has announced that he will leave the label he co-founded to focus on new ventures...
The decision is the result of Agoria's aim to spend more time focusing on his own projects. "I'm working with some pop singers, mixing some albums; I give my ear to them. And a new soundtrack project that I need to work on...,"Sebastian told RA. "I am also playing every weekend and still making new music, and I don't want to lie to artists and say, "OK, I'm behind you," and not be able to do it, so it is a matter of choice in a way."
Sebastian 'Agoria' Devaud launched the label in 2006 and helped shaping the label to become one of the most exciting imprints in cutting edge house and techno it is today. Its label catalog both includes releases by big acts such as Apparat and Rone, but also a slew of very experimental tunage by Franceso Tristano and Agoria himself. "If I was the only guy making the decisions, I would have continued for sure. But if you are not 100% happy with some choices and if you don't think all the directions are totally right, and it starts to take a lot of time and money and everything, and you have a lot of propositions it becomes difficult to do everything."
