Cinematique is a Dutch electronic music label established in early 2010 by founder Robin de Lange. His entry into the label business was a natural progression from his deep involvement in the music scene, where he was known for driving artists from the Manual Music roster to their performances. This foundational experience within the electronic music community provided the network and insight necessary to launch the label.
Initially operating as a distribution label for Manual Music, Cinematique formalized its relationship on January 1, 2012, becoming an official sister label. This strategic alliance places it within the broader Manual Music ecosystem, a company that manages six active labels, digital distribution, and publishing. Cinematique carves out its niche by focusing on the "widescreen of electronic music," exploring sounds that range from house to techno and IDM. The label provides a platform for both established and emerging producers who create music with an emphasis on creativity, originality, and danceability.
The label's business model is centered on music sales and distribution. It generates revenue primarily through the sale of its catalog via digital downloads and streaming services, with releases available in formats like MP3, WAV, and FLAC on various platforms. The discography is extensive, featuring a consistent output of EPs, compilations, and albums since its inception. The label's curation has garnered support from prominent international DJs such as Hernan Cattaneo and Sasha, which enhances its visibility and market reach. Promotion is further amplified by its monthly podcast, "Cinematique Visions," which is broadcast on established online radio stations like Proton Radio and Digitally Imported (DI.fm).
