Zero data index is dead, long live zero data index 2.0… What the hell?
Yes
Hell, I’m going to do something probably none has ever done before:
I’m going to Un-Release an album. I’m not pleased with it to be honest.
Version 2.0 will be re(?)released, it’ll be remastered, in some ways different and much richer in content when I feel it is something I can be proud of.
The whole purpose of oxo is that we deliver something of a truly high quality, something we’ve all felt lacks in modern electronic music. Too many artists and labels fill out albums and compilation with mindless material that seems to have no proper purpose but to fill out those minutes. This is the age of mp3 and thus you as a consumer often find it insane to even think about paying for something that you don’t truly support, I can understand that some people think this way. But I still buy cd’s, why?
If there’s none paying for the music we all love what will keep the artists making it? Will they live on our love for their music? Can they live on air and water and produce idm while not affording electricity?
I think a lot of people don’t really understand how hard it actually is being an artist. Probably the only artists who might be able to life their lifes of making music within this genre would be AFX and Squarepusher. Maybe even the flashbulb and richard devine for their ad-work. But that’s about it.
Please support the music you like by buying it. MP3 wasn’t sent by some god to save you from the evil greedy musicians, it’s a peice of technology that is easily abusable. I do support some forms of piracy.
Thought not at all relevant to braindance music (idm whatever):
This vid is fucking awesome.
Mandark pwns at trance under the name Ultraform, no doubt. Though I don’t really like trance that very much, I’m happy things are going well for his career as a musician! And to be honest I do like his Hardstyle Goa-Trance hybrid form. If only I was seven years younger and still a pill-crazed raver…. You get the point. /veqtor
They’ve been up for a while now, but I haven’t gotten around posting them, until we got the youtube plugin working.
The first one is from a secret party in the woods near Stockholm/Sweden. The second one is from a support party for the swedish pirate cinema project.
Cloneberg, a friend of oxo, made an Atari Punk Console as well, and I’ll be damned if it didn’t look good. It has a pretty futuristic, and possibly phallic look, and the case is made of… Yeah have a guess (;
So I finally got around to ordering some stuff from our webshop. Needed christmas gifts and wanted a t-shirt for myself.
The print on the paper-parts of the CD is excellent but on the CD itself it seems as if their cyan was temporarily screwed up.

We might go over to producing our CD’s by ourselves or making them at a manufacturing plant. The cloth merchandise might be handled by spreadshirt in the future. It’s unfortunate that the quality was so low, since I’m otherwise pleased with working with them, their customer/sales support has been great.
