L Music

Montreal based independent record label founded in 2001 by music industry veteran Gilles Petelle His journey in the industry began in the early 70’s while spinning records in clubs and working at a local campus radio station as a DJ. It’s during this time that Gilles got his foot in the music industry door and began working for a music distribution company. In the early 80’s, Gilles made the transition to the retail side of the music industry as a singles buyer. Soon after, he was working for an indie label and quickly moved up the ranks to become the promotional representative for that label. Soon after he was hired by BMG Music Canada where he spent almost 15 years developing professional relationships with media and industry peers as the local promotional representative. After starting L Music he proceeded to license and release the Human League's new album, Secrets in 2002. Gilles then turned his attention to an Athens, Greece based group called Astyplaz. In 2004 he signed a worldwide exclusive deal for the band’s first full-length release, Name Your Slippers. This was followed with a Canada only deal for the band’s second full length, Bi a few years later. Bi was simultaneously released for the rest of the world via EMI (Greece). In 2013 Gilles launched Chic Vinyl Records.
