Have a healthy and musical 2020 and keep the Acid and Vinyl alive!
2019 was a amazing year!
I started with my label in 1998 after 5 years of underground Acid Parties in the Netherlands.
After a few years it it was quiet for a while but in 2017 we started again with Zodiak Commune Records.
Not believing that we had 8 releases in 2019 :) 7 vinyl and one digital only release.
Begin 2019 Started with the last Insectum (serie of six releases with special incectum art) release from Matl Pozek called ZC016 - Featherhorned Beetle EP. Carara (Andre Carara) made some great techno remixes for the digital release.
A other serie is our White Cyclus serie. In this serie we presented our second last one; called ZC-KORE002 - White Cyclus V with 1NC1N, ABLK and Gelbkreuz.
We started also our TRIP serie with nice coloured 10" storytelling tracks.
The first one ZC-TRIP001 - 808 in the Sand with vikkei and Yakh (Six Monts).
The second one Mist of Souls with some fresh artists Ounts (Marty Cho) and Lox (Siamese Lox Shevet).
In mean time we started a new sublabel Called Outlaw303. Starting with a bang with MF Machinist (Igor Komissarenko) from New York.
OUTLAW303-001 - Wild Basterds ep contains raw electro acid and raw acid.
OUTLAW303-002D - our first digital only release with crazy electro acid from Serge Geyzel and Errorbeauty.
OUTAW303 started also a podcast in 2019. 4 podcasts till now with MF Machinist, Serge Seyzel, Errorbeauty and Zodiak sofar.
Second half 2019 Zodiak Commune started with our new Eye serie. First one ZC017 from ABLK with Acid, Industrial and Techno sounds. Carara(Andre Carara) made some great techno remixes again for the digital release, check this on bandcamp.
We closed 2019 with a special ep called Acid Virus EP with Acid Rave tracks to remember the old rave time. Arists on this ep are WaveBndr, Negative Glitch, ABLK and a old acquaintance Arkanoid (Kenneth Arkanoid De Gruyter).
Now i'm writing this a realize that this is unbelievable what of a year was this. With much pleasure very hard working.
I relealize also that i could not do this with al above artists who make this incredible fu***ng good music!
Also unbelivable thanks to the designers, Owen van Es, Chris Nexus Six, Shirley Hendrikse and Mark (Inscectum art). This guys and women made the visual side of Zodiak Commune Records.
Thanks to Guido Koppens and Maarten Blom for the mastering, they made a fu***ng good sound!
Special thanks to John van Enthoven and Chris Nexus Six to help me forming the OUTLAW303 label and Guido Koppens to put Zodiak Commune Records on the map again.
Triple Vision Distribution and Jaap de Koeijer (Flatlife) with help me with shipping, invoices and other services. Samuel Sammie van Cleef, Rec-order Sébastien, Christophe Brunel, Marco Grijsen, Norman Duncan Thoerel, Tim and Javier to help me selling our records!
Thanks to Zodiak Commune (party organisation) for support Zodiak Commune Records. And of course not forgetting Marieke who support me in good and bad times.
Also thanking for all other friends who helped or inspire me :)
I realize also that 2020 will not be the same year as 2019.
In 2020 i will certainly pressing less releases. But i can tell that it will be quality releases again.
Also starting a new project for after summer. Do you want to now what this is then keep up following Zodiak Commune Records.
Have a healthy and musical 2020 and keep the Acid and Vinyl alive!
