Ecstatic Feedback - A Pukehammer Records Compilation

 There's a wonderful new compilation out on Pukehammer Records, and our beloved gaop is participating with When the Lights Explode.

But by all means, please listen to the entirety of the compilation as there was lots of effort put into gathering such a superb release, and it shows.


We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

RZRecords 6 WAY SPLIT, Vol.2

Hot on the heels of Vol.1 it's out extreme pleasure to present: RZRecords 6 WAY SPLIT, Vol.2 !!!

We were lucky enough to be presented with enough materials for two back to back releases. 
This made the process a bit longer because we had to find the right concept for the releases to work in a harmonious way, but this is far from a complaint, it was a pleasure to be trusted with the participants' art, and to come up with a result we are very proud of.

As always, our goal is to find interesting collaboration, to do our tiny part in the promotion of artists you might have not heard of, and in the process to discover new music that excites us.

This is yet again a purely online release, which is spread across several streaming platforms. 
Feel free to share it anywhere, and look for other instances it on other platforms that might pop up later.



The participants in Volume.1 are:
(in order of appearance)
Generically this is a very interesting release, so per our usual MO, there's a huge mash up of genres going on.
While as always, the color palette stays dark, this compilation travels between electronic subgenres such as techno, IDM and ambient, into a more nu-metal inspired side of electronics, followed by low end, dark ambient sound art, finishing with a string of highly creative and very interesting noise tracks.

We can only hope that you enjoy is as much as we did while compiling, and still having fun listening to it.

A huge thanks to participants, listeners, and all the RZRecords folks who worked on it and obviously their families for accepting the weirdos that we are, blasting noise in the middle of the night, running away to our computers to fix stuff, corresponding 24/7 on stuff that "normal" people don't care about.





RZRecords SIX WAY SPLIT, Vol.1

 It brings us much joy to introduce the following release.

Rzrecords SIX WAY SPLIT, Vol.1 the first in the series of what hopefully will become many.
This is our way to bring artists together, spread the word, collaborate and have fun.

This is a purely online release, which is spread across several streaming platforms. 
A streaming format seemed right to us for the initial releases, with the thought of physical releases maybe becoming a reality at a later point.

We've already started conceptualizing the next releases in the series, so feel free to send in your materials!


The participants in Volume.1 are:
(in order of appearance)
As always, we love to keep things interesting, so there's a mash up of genres going on.
While the color palette stays dark, the compilation travels between the industrial side of metal, free noise rock, noisy dark ambient sound art, dark avantgarde jazz, guitar jazz that's cut up with field recordings, and straight up HNW.

We really had tons of fun working on this one, be it listening to all the wonderful materials we were gifted by these great artists, of the fun of stitching it all up into a coherent form.

Thank you for participating, caring, listening, reading this post or any interaction you may have with RZRecords!
