Stendhal Records
Founded in 2011 by Francesco Poggi and Fabiano Binaglia, aka Virustage, Stendhal Records emerged from over a decade of deep involvement in electronic music as DJs, producers, and enthusiasts. Based in London, UK, the label fills a niche for deeper, trippier electronica, drawing inspiration from the Stendhal Syndrome—a psychosomatic response to overwhelming art that evokes rapid heartbeat, confusion, and hallucinations.
Musical Identity
Stendhal specializes in abstract, left-field electronic sounds, spanning techno, minimal, house, progressive, and experimental genres. Its carefully curated releases transport listeners on emotional and mind-bending journeys, encouraging them to get lost in the music.
