With a commitment to platforming a wide range of sonics, the Paris and Berlin-based label InFiné has a catalogue that spans from contemporary classical to smooth R&B, or Tunisian industrial techno to East African club sounds.

The label was founded by Alexandre Cazac and Yannick Matray in 2006 out of a mutual love for digging into sounds around the world. The imprint is characterised by a community-focused ethos, and a curatorial approach that centres diversity and innovation. Over the last 15 years, InFiné has been a nurturing ground for artists worldwide, pushing releaes from the likes of Deena Abdelwahed, Sabrina Bellaouel, Coco Em, Rone and more. InFiné Éditions was later launched to support the label's family of composers.

Here, the team behind the imprint – featuring manager Enora Pellerin (pictured) and Parisan nightlife specialist Lucile Vignaud – highlight the spots in the French capital where you can eat, drink and talk music.

We are a Parisian music label, good wine is essential to our work. You’ll find that here.

We love this wine bar with a diverse and musical crowd. Unexpected nights here have led to some of the most exciting music collabs in Paris.

This is a special place to take visiting artists. It’s a speakeasy bar that uses screens to imitate an actual busy train snaking through the Indian countryside, with passengers hopping off and on. Disorienting in the best way! Great cocktails and tapas.

One of our favourite places to catch up on music and unwind off-hours. You’ll always run into someone working in the music scene here.

A great industrial-style bar where you’ll find conversations flowing on music, politics and culture. Gives Berlin vibes.

A floating café and botanical library. Our favourite escape to, surprisingly, turn off the music, chill out and read.

An absolute hidden gem! We look forward to any excuse to pop in this restaurant for excellent Armenian food that doesn’t break the bank. A constant temptation just around the corner from our office.

We love the natural wines and ever-changing menu at Des Terres, where they are passionate about engaging.

This is one of our favourite Chinese restaurants in Paris. The plates and drinks endlessly move overhead, and it’s hard to not 'over order'. A must-visit for authentic vibes, hot delicious food and pure satisfaction.
