The label aims to honor the rich history of French electronic artists while nurturing new talent on an international platform. By leveraging global resources, Adore Music plans to scout and support both local and international artists, offering them innovative ways to connect with broader audiences.
Adore Music's debut is marked by its first release from the highly streamed French duo Ofenbach. This launch highlights Warner Music France's commitment to evolving in the dance music scene, alongside partnerships with Ultra Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music. In an era where dance music continues to grow globally, Adore Music aspires to blend digital innovation with artistic tradition, aiming to shape the future of this dynamic genre.
Ambition and Heritage: Building the Future of Dance Music
Under the leadership of Managing Director Romain Pasquier, Adore Music seeks to uphold France's legacy of producing world-renowned electronic music superstars. By focusing on discovering and supporting emerging talent, the label intends to propel these artists onto the global stage. The integration of Warner Music's extensive network ensures that artists receive comprehensive support to achieve their potential.
France has long been a hub for electronic music innovators such as Air, Daft Punk, David Guetta, and Gesaffelstein. Adore Music aims to continue this tradition by creating an environment where artists can flourish and become iconic figures in the industry. Nicolas Klersy, A&R at Adore Music, emphasizes the importance of blending digital innovation with artistic heritage to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of dance music.

Global Expansion: Warner Music Group's Strategic Moves in Dance Music
Beyond France, Warner Music Group has demonstrated a strategic commitment to expanding its presence in the dance music market across various regions. With acquisitions like Spinnin' Records and the establishment of labels such as Major Recordings and Balkan Electro, the company underscores its dedication to amplifying electronic dance music (EDM) artists worldwide. These initiatives reflect a broader trend among major music companies venturing into the dance music sector, including Sony Music Germany's 'noted. records' and Universal Music Group's Casablanca Records and Lift Me Up Records.
Warner Music Group's expansion into genre-specific labels extends beyond Europe, reaching markets such as Korea with MPLIFY and Latin America with SOL. Each of these labels focuses on supporting local artists and promoting cultural diversity within the music industry. By establishing Adore Music, Warner Music France aligns itself with this global strategy, reinforcing its position as a leader in the dance music landscape. The label's launch not only marks a significant milestone in Warner Music France's evolution but also contributes to the continued growth of dance music worldwide. As the industry grows, Adore Music aims to be at the forefront, shaping the future through innovative approaches and unwavering support for talented artists.
