History
2004-2005: Dynamic Recordings
Damien and Olivier Sellier aka Dynamic Rockers start producing records during their teenage years for VOX, a French house, French touch label based in Paris, side-label of Vertigo. After six EPs under different monikers and genre, Dynamic Rockers brothers end their collaboration with VOX. Damien and Olivier Sellier decide to launch their very own label Dynamic Recordings in June 2004. Since DJ Falcon (Roulé), Play Paul (Crydamoure), Daft Trax & Kitsuné manager :fr:Gildas Loaëc, Gildas Loaëc and Fred Falke (Vulture) support Dynamic Recordings first Extended play, EP ''With Music'', the release is originally mistaken by the audience and DJ stores for a side-project by some Daft Punk, Daft crew members. The track ''With Music'' by Dynamic Rockers quickly leads to recognition via supports and airplays on Radio FG. Dynamic Recordings second release entitled ''Summertime'', a pure French house record, is also supported and played on Radio FG. The ''Summertime'' EP includes two tracks by Dynamic Rockers and the title ''Brickster'' by German artist :de:Manuel Tur, Manuel Tur. Endorsed by worldclass DJs like Sébastien Léger, :de:Manuel Tur, Manuel Tur and his track ''Brickster'' appear on techno music, Techno pioneer Dave Clarke (DJ), Dave Clark's compilation ''World Service Vol. 2''. ''Summertime'' is shortly followed by the neighbouring EPs ''Mysterious Date'' and ''Thinking Of You'', also endorsed by Radio FG. Once set together, the four first releases on Dynamic Recordings make a 48" long futuristic Tokyo panorama in the colors of the label. This represents an added value for DJ stores and record shops which can display the whole set as a banner.Stamina Recordings
2004–2005: French-Touch era
In the meantime, November 2004, Dynamic Rockers set their second label ''Stamina Recordings''. While Dynamic Recordings release only EPs with elaborated artworks complementing one another, Stamina Recordings is a playground for spontaneity and publish only maxi singles with a straightforward cover artwork and a reduced turnaround. Stamina Recordings first release contains ''Tonight'' by Dynamic Rockers and ''In The Air'' by Manuel Tur. Annie Mac supports ''Tonight'' and plays it several times as a favourite and starter for her show Annie Mac (radio show), ''Annie Mac'' on BBC Radio 1. March 2005, Dynamic Rockers release the third Stamina Recordings maxi single entitled ''Don't Be Surprised''. The title ''Don't Be Surprised'' receives some support by Roger Sanchez who plays it three times in his weekly awarded radio show ''Release Yourself''. Only one month later, in April 2005, Stamina Recordings release ''Feel The Music'' by Dynamic Rockers. The three track EP also contains ''Kartenfrust'' and ''Cobra Clouds'' both produced by :de:Manuel Tur, Manuel Tur. ''Feel The Music'' is once again supported by Roger Sanchez who plays it for three months in his radio show but most of all plays it for the ''Release Yourself'' opening party at Pacha Group, Pacha, Ibiza. Finally, ''Feel The Music'' catches the attention of the trendsetter Pete Tong who announces it as an ''essential'' in his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1. From there, Dynamic Recordings and Stamina Recordings establish themselves in the scene thanks to their distinctive funky sound à la Daft Punk or Alan Braxe and untraceable disco samples, hallmark of the French house, French touch sound. Stamina Recordings take part in the second French house, French touch generation alongside Vulture Music, Diamondtraxx or Kitsuné.2006–2008: Electro-house era
In 2006, the house music trend evolves from a funky filtered sound to a more electronic flavour labelled electro house. After having released more than ten EP of nu-disco music, Dynamic Rockers expend new musical horizons in this direction, using more synth sounds as well. Dynamic Rockers then refocus all their productions on Stamina Recordings. The first EP of Dynamic Rockers' new sound is entitled ''Life'' released in March 2006. ''Life'' contains a remix by ''Terry Johnson Jr'' and French artist Muttonheads. ''Life'' is once again played by international DJs like Roger Sanchez in his radio show. June 2006, Stamina Recordings release a new record containing ''Back To Basics'' and ''This Is My House'' by Dynamic Rockers. It's an electro house EP with an old-school House music twist, hence the title. ''Back To Basics'' is buzz-charted twice in the ''update'' section of the DMC Magazine and played by Judge Jules in his show on the electronic music authority BBC Radio 1. ''Back To Basics'' is then followed by three other electro house EPs, ''Feedback'', ''Back Again'' and ''Keep The Groove On''. Licensed on third party record companies, Dynamic Rockers put a hold on their in-house productions for Stamina Recordings in 2008.2016: Dynamic Recordings relaunch
After several years of retreat and different musical projects, 21 June 2016, Dynamic Rockers announce their musical comeback on their different social media profiles. They talk about the rebirth of their label Dynamic Recordings ''abbr.'' DYREC and their forthcoming projects.Discography
