Zero Tolerance Label Releases (Relaunch)

Nocturnal Foundation EP

Balance - Zero Tolerance mixed by Gab Oliver

Michael Bennett - Shinkansen / Osaka

It's an honour for us to have worked on the first Zero Tolerance Sessions 001.  

Our concept behind the mix was simple - we wanted to pay respects to those who built the foundations of the uncompromising deep and dark ZT sound before us, and who put Melbourne progressive house on the world map. We also wanted to showcase a group of current artists that we feel represents the present and future ZT sound.

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mckeownbassiray/

Included in this mix are three original records, and four remixes that we have completed that will be coming out on Zero Tolerance later this year, as well as lots of unreleased tracks + re-edits.  If you've followed Zero Tolerance over the years you're in for a rollercoaster ride.

A tracklist will be available at a later date ,as we would love you to listen without any pre-conceptions and to maintain an element of surprise.  Feel free to comment and let us know what you think or if you'd like any Track ID's.

Zero Tolerance Sessions 001 - McKeown & Bassiray

With the recent passing of our dear friend Phil K, we have decided to announce Hi-Fi Bugs – Lydian & The Dinosaur on Zero Tolerance Recordings as the first re-release not only as a sign of respect but to also honour his contribution as one of the founders of the label. 

Buy a copy here: https://store.zerotolerance.com.au/album/hi-fi-bugs-lydian-the-dinosaur 

Commonly regarded as one of the most innovative breakbeat records of a generation, this mind-bending 12 minute journey has been remastered for your listening pleasure. 

There is no doubting the importance of this record. Originally made in 1997, it was light years ahead of its time and personified Andy Page and Phil K’s forward-thinking approach to writing music and arguably kick-started the worldwide progressive breaks movement that followed years later. 

Slow building, deep and moody this record then takes a sonic rollercoaster through meticulous editing and sound design climaxing with absolute grace. This masterpiece demands to be played in full and is now available digitally for the first time via Bandcamp and other digital download sites.

We'd love to use the comments of this track to pay tribute to the late Phil K, please share any stories, fond moments, fucked up times on the dancefloor or just let us know what this track means to you personally.

Much love 🥰

Zero Tolerance Sessions 002 - Gab Oliver

We're really happy to announce our new "Dark Rework" series, in which artists put their own darker interpretation on classic tracks.

Nash T - Orca which was released back in the day on EQ [Grey] Recordings was a staple track in any DJs record box that enjoyed dark grooves.  

After reaching out to Nash for some new material for Zero Tolerance (as fate would happen) another young producer in our direct ZT family from Argentina - Diego Moreira, got his hands on the record and has given it a modern interpretation.  It's deep, it's dark its tribal, a fantastic creative exploration in subtle and cerebral soundscapes.  

A huge thank you to Tom Pandzic head honcho at @balanceseries for approving and allowing Zero Tolerance to release this Dark rework.

TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW

Balance Selections 244: Depth Institute

Human was originally released on Zero Tolerance in 2001 and was one of the label's most iconic releases. It was one of the most definitive records written specifically for the Sunny dance floor originally intended only for Melbourne audiences, but quickly gained attention from all over the world and was championed by everyone from Sasha, John Digweed to Steve Lawler. It was distributed world wide as a single on the cover of Mixmag and featured on compilation's from John Creamer & Stephane K, Gab Oliver and more.

We are now proud to announce a 2023 remix package from some serious heavy hitters from Australia and around the world with nine outstanding remixes that represent Zero Tolerance's future as well as past.

Kasey Taylor provides a techno influenced version that harnesses deep impact. This captivative and relentless rendition unleashes powerful and hypnotic energy that showcases nuances of sound frequencies that defy conventional boundaries.

McKeown & Bassiray - Frisky Artist Of The Week Mix 2024

For our next Zero Tolerance release we head to Argentina with two new remixes from of Jamie Stevens' Black Ruby EP courtesy of Analog Jungs and EANP.

Analog Jungs provide an inspired journey with their remix of "Path of None". Their contribution is moody and percussive, injecting a tribal undertone reminiscent of the halcyon era which is both haunting and devastatingly driving.

EANP’s craftmanship is on full display with their remix of “Black Ruby Of Voldesad”. The duo provides a deep voyage into the depths of groove, expanding on the nuance’s of the original’s drum programming that harnesses hypnotic energy.

🥷 McKeown & Bassiray exclusive 65-track playlist 🥷
https://spoti.fi/3YtN5Lo

Deep. Dark. Progressive. Those three adjectives captured a moment in electronic music that rippled through the scene like a sonic ideology. The sound emerged at the turn of the millennium and embraced its name with laser-like precision: it sure was deep, undoubtedly dark, and undeniably progressive.  

It’s a moment that Stuart McKeown and Darius Bassiray know all too well. As part of Melbourne’s Zero Tolerance crew and two-thirds of Depth Institute, they champion its contemporary incarnation, releasing on labels like Mango Alley, Sound Avenue, and, of course, Zero Tolerance.  

They also lived through it, making them perfectly positioned to pontificate on the scene. Read the full feature on the Balance Music website, where we delve into this early 2000s strain of progressive. To supplement that article, they crafted a two-hour showcase of their favorite classic and contemporary genre moments. Featuring tracks from John Creamer & Stéphane K, Chab, Diego Moreira, Analog Jungs, and more, this is an excellent entry point for anyone looking to explore this audio world.

McKeown & Bassiray - Zero Tolerance pres No Nonsense @ Howler, Melbourne 22/02/25

By the mid-’90s, while peak-time anthems dominated global dancefloors, Melbourne started developing its own dialect—a darker, more hypnotic sound rooted in restraint. At its core was a small community of DJs and producers, united by a shared refusal to chase trends.  The sound they conjured was haunting: progressive but with a sparse architecture which created ample space for atmosphere. Indeed, a Zero Tolerance track spilled across the dancefloor with the tension of a coming storm. Uncompromising, yet cerebral.

To supplement our deep dive with Gab Oliver (see link above for full feature), the label head compiled an exclusive mix filled with fresh label cuts released on the label since its 2021 relaunch. 

No nostalgia, just fresh pressure.

Michael Bennett - Shinkansen

Sounds from the Australian underground, deep, dark & dirty.

"Sitting somewhere between "progressive", deep house, deep trance and breakbeat, Zero music is always dark, moody, intense and serious."

"Absolutely savage record. So many brutal tracks that showcase some of the deepest sounds of the golden era"

"It’s very Deep, it’s very Dark, and it’s shockingly Dirty. But most of all – it’s very very good!"
