Snake Handling Gloves by gaop & NishMa

gaop & NishMa present: Snake Handling Gloves.

Drums, recorders and electric organ. Simple and brilliant. 

Abstract, jazz like, nightmarish. Conjuring ambulances, rattlesnakes, dangerous woods, poisonous attacks, hallucinations, trips to the hospital, bagpipes, abandoned churches, deserts, scary birds, warm bottled water, Lars von Trier and other stuff too.

Good stuff.


Reflections by Haggari Nakashe & gaop

Reflections, by Haggari Nakashe & gaop, is an hour long drone / dark ambient piece, with electroacoustic and musique concrète overtones.

It's suitable for trance like states, deep thinking, meditation, frightening trips, horror movies and probably nature movies too.


Available on all streaming platforms, but mostly for purchase on Bandcamp (below) and on Spotify.

NishMa, gaop & Haggari Nakashe - The Hidden Hand

RZRecords proudly present The Hidden Hand, a brand new single by NishMa, gaop & Haggari Nakashe, collaborating on a drone oriented noise track, accompanied by live drums.

The track is available for streaming on most platforms, and for purchase via BandCamp.

2023 is looking great release wise, with a strong first quarter, and a few more surprises up our sleeve for the near future.



The Jazz of Shapes to Come, by gaop

 We're super excited to present The Jazz of Shapes to Come, a brand new gaop album.

It's a celebration of electro-acoustic pianos, woodwind instruments, bells and tape recorder hiss sounds.

While the title obviously references the Coleman masterpiece, The Jazz of Shapes to Come is a different take on free jazz or avant-garde, with an approach that's more mellow, rooted equally in ambient as it is with musical giants such as Art Ensemble of Chicago.

The album is available on most streaming platforms, purchase via BandCamp and is do for a limited physical release in the future.

Haggari Nakashe - Tis the Season for Revenge

Haggari Nakashe has released a holiday themed EP titled "Tis the Season for Revenge" and we love it.

Three dark ambient tracks, it's all you ever wanted, all you ever needed, here in your arms.


gaop - Sick Days

gaop sick days



gaop's Sick Days is an interesting take on genres like grunge, noise rock, punk, stoner rock and indie, serving as a fusion and revision of the above, via the experimental gaop prism.

Live and programmed drums, guitar, bass, synths and vocals, all provided by this one-man-band.

This release has no real aspirations to become a part of any of the corrupt, co-opted genres it explores, and yet it wins in advance by not participating. It's a labor of love, creative onanism, fun and effect pedals.

This release is available for purchase via BandCamp, and for streaming on most streaming platforms.



NishMa / gaop split

 A super fun collaboration by NishMa and gaop.

The first thee tracks are by NishMa. They're wonderfully cinematic, larger than life soundscapes that conjure sci-fi drama, vast futuristic dystopias, dark skies filled with rusted flying cars.

The last three tracks are by gaop. They're conceptual attempts at deconstructing traditional IDM music into easy listening piano ambient music, using the usual tools of the trade and an electric piano.

The track "Marcel will return", sandwiched right in-between the other tracks, is a joint effort by both gaop and NishMa, delivering top execution from both artists.
