"3" by cÆNINEZ, Haggari Nakashe & gaop, and SMEGMASMOG is finally out on all platforms!
Experiments for Two Synths by gaop & Haggari Nakashe
Released March 18th, 2024, this is a series of audio experiments.
Nine tracks, clocking just under 19 minutes, featuring layers of synth "music", in the form of various textures.
This EP presents a compelling and innovative approach to audio experimentation. It stands as a significant addition to the collaborative projects of gaop and Haggari Nakashe, showcasing their dedication to pushing creative boundaries and exploring new sonic territories.
At the current stage of audio evolution, achieving true revolutionary innovation in the realms of sound may be quite an arduous task. Nonetheless, this dynamic duo persists in delving into refreshing concepts using their distinctive approach, and it is their unwavering dedication that renders their exploration truly captivating.
Seems that it's this infant-like amazement that allows one to approach everything with a brand new perspective, even if the subject at hand has indeed been explored by numerous artists and scholars.
This is not the first or last time someone uses layered synth sounds in the name of exploration, but it sure is as good an attempt as any of them. Perhaps these are even slightly better than some.
SMEGMASMOG - RAW POWER
RAW POWER, the brand-new release by SMEGMASMOG is now available on Bandcamp.
The album consists of 4 tracks with a total runtime of approximately 20 minutes.
We'll also be distributing SMEGMASMOG's back catalog soon, along with a few new releases that are currently in the works. Stay tuned for more updates on the physical and digital expansion of the RZRecords roster.
Sabixatzil - A Longing
A Longing is a release by Sabixatzil, further exploring the (post) classical guitar sound.
Decades ago, it was our friend and colleague TFIM (The Famous Itai Matos) who supposedly invented the "broken" guitar style. Today, it's Sabixatzil that's perfecting it.
Moreover, for this release, it's merged with recording techniques, found sound elements, field recordings, and other layers that elevate this from being a merely solo guitar effort, into an experimental masterclass.
We're thrilled to have Sabixatzil in the studio again after a long hiatus. There are a few more of his releases we'll post about soon, and we're hopeful there will be even more coming our this year!
In Drone We Trust, by NishMa, Haggari Nakashe and gaop
A while back we told you about an upcoming special release that wasn't only a collaboration between artists, but also a joint effort between RZRecords and Ranger Magazine.
Ranger Magazine was the first platform on which we released IN DRONE WE TRUST, the dreamy, spooky, wonderfully haunting album by NishMa, Haggari Nakashe, and gaop.
This release is interesting as it's almost a meditative trance of sorts, while also being heavy-hitting (bordering on doom metal aesthetics) at times, and ambient-like, droning, and experimental enough to contain elements of noise and free jazz.

This is in addition to Paxit's Spotify discography.
And now for the bad news: some of the releases are still missing, so no full discography here.
