WELCOME TO NOUVEAU ELECTRIC RECORDS
We are a Louisiana record label for experimental and traditional music inspired by the language and people of South Louisiana.
Nouveau Electric Records is an independent record label based in Arnaudville, prioritizing work in Louisiana French, though our releases are not exclusively francophone.
Founded by Louis Michot in 2018, NER seeks to bridge the gap between tradition and evolution by introducing new creative visions to the centuries-old instrumentation and expressive vocabularies of the region.

Corey Ledet Zydeco's 'Médikamen' is his first zydeco album written and performed completely in Kouri-Vini (Louisiana Creole) as an homage on Corey's journey to reclaim his family’s language. This project was made with an aspect of creation heavily inspired by his ancestors and culture. It’s more than just his next record, this is art that he is proud of no matter the reception. Celebrating 20 years and being comfortable as an accordionist and songwriter, Corey’s reclaiming the language and making this music are two ways in which he takes part in Creole culture today. Special guests include Germaine Jack, Anders Osborne, Kermit Ruffins, and Grant Dermody.
Rêve du Troubadour is the first solo album from Louis Michot, fiddler songwriter and lead vocalist for Grammy winners Lost Bayou Ramblers. Special guests on these recordings include Nigerian Tuareg guitar wizard Bombino, and critically acclaimed singer / cellist Leyla McCalla among others.
