Warner Music France launches dance label Adore Music | Labels | Music Week
Warner Music France has launched a dedicated dance label, Adore Music.
“Designed to bring together both emerging and established talent, Adore Music will showcase the best dance music to the world,” said a statement.
Adore Music will provide its artists with access to the global resources of Warner Music and its network. It will identify and support both domestic acts from France and international talent.
“The label will strive to gain a global footprint by working closely with WM France’s global-facing teams and Warner Music’s powerful international A&R and marketing networks,” added the announcement from the major.
Romain Pasquier, managing director of Adore Music, said: "Adore Music marks a bold evolution for Warner Music France, reaffirming its central role in the electronic music landscape. France has a rich legacy of global superstars like Air, Daft Punk, David Guetta and Gesaffelstein. Our ambition is to honour this tradition, while propelling the next generation of talent onto the global stage.”

Adrien Morin-Guardia, A&R and head of marketing at Adore Music, added: “The launch of Adore Music marks a key milestone in WM France’s evolution in dance music. It is a great privilege to collaborate with artists and teams driven by passion and to see these partnerships last so long. Some of which began over 10 years ago with the likes of local icons Feder and Ofenbach. Together, we aim to shine a light on emerging talent and celebrate the creativity of our superstars by sharing their music with the world.”
To celebrate its launch, Adore Music organised a creative camp that brought together more than 30 artists, producers and composers in the new studios of 118, the headquarters of WM France. The event was in partnership with Ultra Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music.
The label has lined up several projects and exclusive collaborations in the works for its newly signed artists.
Adore Music's first release was on March 21, with Need You The Most, the new single by Ofenbach, who were the most streamed French group internationally in 2024.
Nicolas Klersy, A&R, Adore Music, said: "Adore Music is a project built with music at its core, with the mission to discover and support new talent. We aim to create an environment where artists can thrive and become true icons. In an ever-evolving dance music landscape, our goal is to shape the future by blending digital innovation with artistic heritage.”
