Zzzzra, Licorne Sans Corne EP [Insectorama – insectorama043, 2011]
In the endless fields of Internet labels, I indirectly found a very talented music producer with an equally impossible name ‘Zzzzra’ (actually, and obviously I’m not the fastest mover around, I’ve come to realize that it is indeed a very clever name if you would type ‘Zzz’ in any given search field you would find… Continue reading Zzzzra, Licorne Sans Corne EP [Insectorama – insectorama043, 2011]

Zainetica, Overcast City, [En:peg Digital – EN39, 2008]
En:peg Digital is, or rather used to be the only digital branch of US label n5MD. The label originally started out releasing MiniDiscs.

Lackluster, Aeration EP [TwoCircles Records – [ [2circlesNet002], 2009]

This human has been producing music of the highest quality imaginable for a decade (that’s more than 10 years mind you) and possibly even longer, it is impressing to say the least and even more… Continue reading Lackluster, Aeration EP [TwoCircles Records – [ [2circlesNet002], 2009]
