Les Disques Du Crépuscule
Years running:
Country: Belgium
Description:
Label founded by Michel Duval & Annick Honoré with the famous illustrator Benoît Hennebert. Les Disques Du Crepuscule's official birth dates back to August 1980 when A Certain Ratio's Shack Up 7" was released, carrying a double label identity: Factory Benelux/Les Disques Du Crepuscule. In the following two decades Crepuscule has proved to be one of the finest record labels in Europe, with a high and lasting reputation worldwide. The Brussels based label issued close to 400 titles on vinyl, cassette and CD, and also tried its luck in book publishing, video production and fashion. The sheer musical variety ranging from pop to jazz and from classical to experimental music; the hype-free treatment and presentation of the artists and the close attention paid to graphic design; these have delivered Crepuscule a very special name among the independent record labels that were founded in the late 70s and early 80s. Crépuscule maintained close links with Factory in Manchester, but also operated (often shortlived) subsidiary labels in the UK (Operation Twilight and Operation Afterglow), the US (Crepuscule America), France (Crépuscule Section Française) and Japan (Crépuscule Au Japon). 1984 even saw the opening of "Interferences", a 'brasserie cosmopolite' cum performance space on Rue de la Tete d'Or, just off the Grand Place.
