IMPORTANT UPDATE: We're moving the deadline to December to give us some more time to prep and you some more times to finish your tracks!
Greetings fellow sound aficionados!
We are again inviting everyone to submit your materials for our 6 ways split series!
Hot on the heels of RZRecords SIX WAY SPLIT, Vol.1 and RZRecords 6 WAY SPLIT, Vol.2, we are now looking for submissions for the 3rd and 4th installments.
The theme we requested for the previous releases was "dark", and people submitted lots of stuff that just showed how conceptions change between people. We thought it was pretty awesome that the tracks we received were so different in style.
This time around, think "dark" but there are literally no limitations when it comes to musical themes or genres. Send whatever seems right, or whatever you want to share with the world.
The rules are:
no samples - the releases going to be submitted to the majority of streaming platforms and having copyright issues can sabotage the entire project. Please own the rights to your materials. If you have questions - we're here for you.
10 minutes per artist - up to 10min. it can be one track, can be 20 tracks half a minute each, it's up to you. If you feel that you're best represented by a 10 second beep - send it over, sounds interesting!
- Special note regarding your 10 minutes: if you feel like submitting stuff that you might have released in the past - that's up to you. We accept remixes, remasters, or just older stuff that deserves exposure. It might be new to us and everyone else. As long as the tracks make sense together - it's in!

provide all the info - make sure to properly name your files, provide us with the order you desire if you want them in a certain way, artist name and special notes (caps, special characters, etc). If you have a special logo you use, let us know so we consider that when we work on the cover art. Last time we simply used one font for everyone which made things easier, but send us your stuff just in case.
no hate - hate speech will not be accepted. Also, please make sure to let us know if your content is explicit, some platforms need to tag it according to their rules.
limited to 6 participants - we only have room for a selected few per release, so please keep that in mind. if we get lots of submissions there's gonna be another volume coming soon! We usually arrange stuff concept wise, so if you're left out - doesn't mean we hate you, we might be saving your for a more relevant combination of tracks.
pro bono - while we will distribute the release for online streaming, please note that at the moment we're not planning on a physical release nor are there plans to sell it. participation is without pay, but feel free to contact us for the files if you wish to print your own copies to sell locally. If sometime down the line there's special interest or demand - we might release a physical copy and distribute those between the participants.
submission - send your FLAC files to contact.rzrecords[@]gmail.com and please try to limit the loudness to -6dB. We find it easiest to work with google drive folders with all of the materials in one place.
deadline - We'd like to have all tracks by November 2023. If you feel like you need more time, send it anyways, we'll save it for the next release.We know some people take longer to submit cos they're working on brand new stuff.
