The primary focus of the label was to invest in original musical projects, whether instrumental or vocal. No Format has a extensive catalog of 22 works.

The label's repertoire features collaborations between artists with a traditional west African musical background and artists more familiar with Western traditions^[1] For example, they have released albums such as (Chamber Music by Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Segal) which showcase the fusion of these diverse musical influences. Additionally, No Format! has also released albums by singer-songwriters (Chocolate Genius, Inc., Mélissa Laveaux or Solo Piano by Chilly Gonzales^[2] to name a few).

In 2016, No Format! was selected by IMPALA (the Independent Music Companies Association) and The Independent Echo for the FIVEUNDERFIFTEEN campaign^[3] highlighting the label's promising presence in the music industry.

Since 2016, No Format! has released and distributed over 46 albums, EPs, and singles^[4] in partnership with the many of its signed artists.
