🎧"What if one day, the artist had the power?"
That question started it all.
Before founding the label, was - and still is - an artist.
He's lived the doubts, the backstage noise, the need for change.
🌊From that came Whales Records:
a label built for artists, by an artist.
Artists firsts and always

Whales Records’ Manifesto.
A label doesn’t often speak up.
But when it does, it should be for the right reasons.
At Whales Records, we decided to write our own rule:
👉 Being an independent label means letting artists stay independent.

THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE JOURNEY
To everyone who helped us this year,

those who created, who carried the projects, who stood by artists & Whales Records from up close or from afar — thank you.

Whether we worked side by side in the studio, exchanged ideas from a distance, or built things quietly together behind the scenes, you’ve been essential to everything we’ve achieved. We’re proud of what we’ve built together — and even more excited about what’s ahead. 🚀

Let’s keep pushing boundaries, telling real stories, and putting artists first. Always.

At Whales Records, since September, we've been busy!!
EPs, albums, reworks - and always the same energy

Each project is more than just a release.
It's a shared piece of life.
It's a team formed around a vision.
It’s ideas off the beaten track.

🙏 Thank you to those who join the movement, who accompany, who enrich these trajectories.
At Whales, music flows better when it's carried by many.

Listen to When the Dust Settles by Edward Cross.

🎤 Jazz. Hip-hop. Spoken word.

Løuis Mørgan arrives with a new lease on life.
His writing is raw and his music groovy and gripping.
But above all, Louis invites us to slow down, to take the time. Every word is a slogan, an aude.

And strangely enough, it really spoke to us.
We love it when an artistic encounter shapes us, gently but surely shakes us up.

His very first single will be released on May 2,
but in the meantime...
the teaser for her EP is here. And it deserves to be seen. And heard.

🔊 👉 Teaser available in full on .wav's insta account or on our website / youtube channel and free on Bandcamp.

That's what Whales Records is all about: supporting artists who make us vibrate & trippy in a different way.

NEW TALENT AT WHALES RECORDS

If you're a fan of Ólafur Arnalds, Ludovico Einaudi, or any other fine modern classical music like Whales Records’ creator Julien Marchal, you'll want to check out Edward Cross.

Edward Cross brings a fresh take on modern composition by blending classical, contemporary, and improvisational styles. 🎹 🎧

📆 First single coming late April – stay tuned!

NEW TALENT AT WHALES RECORDS 🚀
Meet Løuis Mørgan, an artist of paradoxes, contrasts and unique grooves. 🎶 📼

His first solo EP, ‘Døing Nøthing’, is a project where spoken word, electronic textures and spellbinding rhythms intertwine.

Already known as one half of the duo J-Silk, Løuis Mørgan reveals here a more intimate side of his musical universe.

🔗 Take a look at his social networks, get to know him,
- there's bound to be some noise this month.

🎶 Is releasing an album in 2025 an (im)possible mission for an independent label? Or... is it worth it anymore? In a world where music is consumed faster than ever, how can a project exist outside traditional channels?

On March 21, Jonathan Fitas released "Leap of Faith" with Maison Mujō and Whales Records, an introspective and intimate album that defies categorization:
🎵 Almost instrumental, but not quite vocal enough.
🎵 Modern classical, yet a bit too electronic.

And yet, he found his audience:
✅ Groover & Submithub → the first curators who believed in us (thank you Mü-nest 🙌).
✅ Apple Music → 3 tracks featured at the top of official playlists! 🍏
✅ The music video → awarded Best Dance Film at the Berlin Indie Film Awards and highlighted by Director’s Library.

💡 So, what’s the key? What do you think? Is independence a hindrance or a strength? 💬

At Whales Records, we believe in a different path: music that is free, driven by passion and collaboration. 💙
