It all started over a decade ago when my friend Agent Orange DJ from NYC trusted me to help him run his record labels "Gotham Grooves", "Paradisco" and his wife's DJ Becka's "Gotham City Records". After acquiring a huge deal of experience while loving the process, it was the time to make a move and start my own Different Is Different Records.
Few years passed and I met my dear 
Three years ago, after launching and running Different Is Different Records (which this year turned nine) and MER, the time came when DJs and music producers approached me to do the same for them.
Gathering a huge amount of knowledge, experience and contacts during that time, plus building an infrastructure that allowed me to effectively run one of the genre's longest running record labels, it was the moment to offer a worry-free solution for those who desired having their own label, but lacked time, knowledge, contacts or infrastructure.
It was the time to give
Enter alma.audio, an all-in-one boutique service to launch and manage record labels for artists and anyone else with the wish of owning an imprint to release the music they love.
Our first partner was my dear friend Paula Cazenave who asked us to launch and manage Combine Audio, a techno record label that is home to huge artists of the worldwide scene.
She was kind enough to refer our services, and our second partner, Mooz, joined the family by asking us to launch and manage Hidden Suite Records, a label known for very high quality standards while keeping a steady output of releases.
Then Dutch producer from Amsterdam, Rustig, stepped in and requested us to launch and manage his Natural Behave imprint, a record label focusing on releasing the owner's music while inviting high profile remixers to its artist roster.
Soon we realized there was a need to attend artists who wanted only specific services, like, promotion or analogue mastering. Immediately partners like Clash with his Moodulab label or Egyptian producer Sherif Aidarous joined the family.
It's been a wild ride.
