Roulé (translating to "rolled") is a French record label founded founded in 1995 by Daft Punk member Thomas Bangalter. Roulé has a side label entitled Scratché which released only one record to date produced by the Buffalo Bunch (Paul de Homem-Christo and Romain Séo).

Label history

Roulé music label includes artists such as Romanthony, Stardust, Roy Davis, Jr., DJ Falcon, Alan Braxe, Together and Thomas Bangalter for his own material.

The fifth release on Roulé is Music Sounds Better with You by Stardust. The single reached dance charts' number one position in many European countries. Stardust is formed by the singer Benjamin Diamond and Alan Braxe & Thomas Bangalter on the production side. Music Sounds Better with You contains a sample of Fate performed by Chaka Khan.

Although the label exists since 1995 and releases several EPs, Roulé only released one long play: Irréversible soundtrack. The possible reason is that Thomas Bangalter uses Roulé as a periodical outlet for music, instead of an actual label. In an interview, he once stated :

“ Roulé’s never really been a “label.” It’s been more of an outlet where there’s a record every year or so. I’ve never made plans for it, and I never will. It’s just something that is there. I know for Guy-Manuel, Crydamoure is more of a label.[1] ”
