das zodiak free arts lab, auch bekannt als zodiak club, war eine temporäre gleichwohl sehr einflussreiche location für experimentelle live musik ende der 1960er. von kreuzberger künstlern 1967 im damaligen west berlin gegründet, war das zodiak free arts lab für eine weile ein wahres paradies für musiker, denn das laboratorium war ausgestattet mit instrumenten, verstärkern und lautsprechern, mit denen jeder ganz nach lust und laune spielen und experimentieren durfte.
vier jahrzehnte später hatte argy die idee, das konzept des clubs wieder zu beleben. argy ist einer der wenigen produzenten, die dieser tage einen völlig eigenen dance music sound kreieren, wie man an solch großartigen eps wie >love dose< (auf pokerflat inc. erschienen) hören kann oder bei seinen remixen für ibadan und defected und natürlich auch bei all den anderen vielzähligen projekten, in die er involviert ist. anschließend an den zodiak club der 60er hat argy für einen kurzen zeitraum seine eigenen privaten räumlichkeiten in berlin geöffnet um mit kollegen und freunden zu jamen. argy konzentrierte sich jedoch nicht nur auf musik-experimente, sondern lud seine gäste ein mit ihm gemeinsam an einer reihe von happenings teilzunehmen, wie zum beispiel an live musik sessions, abendessen, der gemeinsamen erfahrung der vielen facetten von schönheit, konversationen und allerlei anderen bizarren oder exzentrischen erlebnissen.

zodiac wax is unlike other record labels. its founder, zodiac childs, initially conceived of it as a fictional alternative to dance music’s terminal timeline, an environment to nurture music which stands for escapism, music which atomises a story and gives that universe life. after an intimate creative gestation, childs introduces us to his band of digital misfits, whose myriad approaches to dance music are smelted together to form the catalogue of razor-sharp cuts that is faction.

a lost demo. an epic remix. not down in any map.

dutch pioneer mg (aka gert van veen) is responsible for a series of huge house classics to ever emerge from the netherlands: a-men s pay the piper, quazar s seven stars, house of venus dish & tell. the list is long. under his lesser known moniker zodiac trax, gert produced some of his moodiest material. released in 1992 in two parts, these beautifully crafted tracks remained fairly unknown up to this day. for this re-issue frame of mind selected the deepest tunes from the obscure series. a previously unreleased track called planet x is included!

killer stuf on klasse wrecks sub label zodiac! frozen russian plains rich with moondust and cybo-fog lie still, a faint rumble is heard from behind the horizon and buttechno checks his pulsemeter 5000, deciding to head on whilst he still can. sonic lighting strikes the dead earth, leaving echoes that reverberate for miles around as digital feedback waves sore through the airless landscape. buttechno steadies his exxo-bike, firing the back up atomic engine before taking a deep breath and heading into the lost and forgotten city. zcapri is the seventh of 12 releases from z o d i a c 4 4. one for each sign of the stars and then z o d i a c 4 4 is forever dead and gone. forever gone and dead.

zodiac childs kicks off his zodiac wax imprint with a three track ep. three cuts channeling the rolling breaks of the early 90s combined with zcs sonic imprint.

in the place of the eternal blazing sun there exists an underworld, a dark and cold space of interlinking caves and dank corridors. occupying the subterranean land is an army of worker drones, busying themselves with a never ending series of tasks, both laborious and mechanical.

phat harder techno package

vinyl only, limited to 100 copies.

after landing his malfunctioning px-4000 on the purple planet, captain dmx steps out of the smoldering cockpit. after barely setting foot on the dusty landscape, the captain is startled by deep thudding from over the hills. dragging his oxygen pack with one hand and his atomizer with the other, he sets off in search of the other-wordly din. over the hill his pupils adjust to the stroboscopic lightning and below him lies a sea of strange creatures moving together as one body. a cosmic sermon takes place under the three suns in the sky, mechanical and stuttered frequencies set a manic pace and drive the dark creatures back and forth. captain dmx sighs a heavy breath and starts to descend into the fray.

warriors of the acid clan unite! finally our cup runneth over! your saviours return from the dark fold and bring with them treasures from afar, our bravest and most noble heroes of the invincible scum are here to save you from our once certain fate. a bounty of golden acid and precious gems lies before you and is yours alone for the devouring. hear the mystical 303 weave its tales of yonder and feel the pounding of the electronic drum deep in your soulseize the moment and celebrate this day for it is ours!

for a brief moment hermans are cut free from their shackles and venture out from the black dungeon, dragging xylophones made from kraken bones and drums fashioned out of reptile skins the duo summon a battle chant from deep within. scores of allies join, endlessly banging the same rhythm relentlessly until the clouds draw and the red sun is no longer visible. a basic soul unit appears from the murkiness and descends upon the racket, bringing with him booming thunder and electric lightning, a dark army marching alongside him. the massive beat continues for days, shaking all those that hear it. slowy and steadily, the din subsides, the clouds part and the sun returns as hermans retreat back to the darkness to wait patiently until they are called upon again. zaires is the third of 12 releases from z o d i a c 4 4. one for each sign of the stars and then z o d i a c 4 4 is forever dead and gone. forever

returning to the party like an unwanted family member, drunk, staggering and harbouring broken toys of acid and drum, z o d i a c 4 4 lurches forward with its second release of the 12 release run.

direct out of deepest neukolln emerges z o d i a c 4 4. rusty, broken and cantankerous we spill forth our first ever release with dungeon acid at the helm. dungeon jams sees the swedish producer summon madness from the depths of his mind and unleashes it on the world via his computerriddimdrummachiner and the analoguewavecombosignalizer. aboard the pirate ship are fellow viking rivet (skudge/kontra) and nordic saint dj fett burger (sex tags mania/sex tags ufo) with both bringing their own inimitable and unparalleled sonic grooves to the battleground. zaqua is the first of 12 releases. one for each sign of the stars and then z o d i a c 4 4 is forever dead and gone. forever.

phantastic deep space house , incl ilya santana & pete herbert

vase continues its blooming series of stellar releases since its inception a few months ago with its boldest release to date: the zodiac ep. this self-titled project by producer / songwriter jeremy rose marks a definitive episode in the young labels direction. the brain and ear behind some truly singular releases, rose is responsible for production on the weeknds house of balloons (what you need, loft music, the party & the after-party), as well as >genesis< by bay area artists the jealous guys and the acclaimed styrofoam cup session remix of roach gigzs >got em like<.
