Latency is an independent record label established in 2013 in Paris by Sidney Gérard and Souleymane Said. It explores a vast musical spectrum in dialogue with contemporary art and performance. Latency has published physical and digital editions of diverse works from artists such as Laurel Halo (USA), virtuoso percussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi (Iran), Australian duo HTRK, and French singer and composer Lafawndah.

A key contributor to the French music scene over the last decade, Latency has organised concerts and dance parties at a variety of international events and venues including Villa Medici, Paris Panthéon, Berlin Atonal and Marian Goodman Gallery. The label’s distinctive visual aesthetic is reflected in their collaborations with contemporary artists for cover art, including Louise Lawler, Jill Mulleady and Jean-Marie Appriou.

Latency also operates as a music curator for a wide range of media and brands, including films, fashion, and art installations, continually exploring new artistic collaborations.
