The French label Reaktion was founded by Sedryk in 1996, and has celebrated its 20th year of existence in 2016.

The label’s life is divided into two distinct phases:
- from 1996 to 2006, Reaktion was interested in experimental and innovative music
- since 2008 the label was dedicated to the music of the Sahara via the collection ‘Le Chant Des Fauves’

After deactivating the website www.tamasheq.net in 2015, Sedryk has decided to take a break from the activities of the label for an unknown length of time.

Sedryk, founder of the label:
'I am not talking of a total end to the activities of Reaktion, because I don’t know what the future holds. The label already had two lives, so why not a third one in a totally different style? And I intend to keep on travelling into the Sahara (and elsewhere) with equipment to record the musicians I will meet on my way. Who knows what I will get with these recordings? But for the moment, there will be no new releases from the label.'

The whole ‘Le Chant Des Fauves’ catalogue will be administered by the London-based label IRL, which has been part of the wider Tuareg family for a long time (including Justin Adams, Tinariwen, and Terakaft amongst others).
