The label seeks to invest in original musical projects, be them instrumental or vocal, and has built up a catalogue of 22 works since its inception. Among them, the duets between artists with a traditional west African musical background and artists more familiar with western traditions[1] (Chamber Music by Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Segal), but also albums by singer-songwriters (Chocolate Genius, Inc., Mélissa Laveaux or Solo Piano by Chilly Gonzales[2] to name a few). In 2016 No Format! was recognised as one of Europe's most inspiring young label and was selected by IMPALA and The Independent Echo for the FIVEUNDERFIFTEEN campaign.[3]
