  • Laurent Garnier and Eric Morand have announced that their F Communications label will be on an indefinite hiatus for at least the near future. In a statement to fans, Eric Morand has said that "the role of producer and artistic director of a label has become too narrow, too restrictive for me. I am more than 40 now, and my expectations are different from those I had at 20." The frequency of releases on the label has been much lower than in its '90s heyday, and various reasons have caused the pair to decide to wind things down. From their statement, it seems clear that they haven't ruled out starting the label up again completely. "For now, we have no new releases planned for F Communications. We are taking care of the tree and its integrity," their statement reads. For now though, they're committed to keeping the current catalogue available, both in the shops and through download retailers.
