VSO - Complacency
'Complacency' by VSO is an offbeat electro killer accompanied by 303 basslines and distant electrofied voxes. Don’t get too comfortable balancing between the beautiful contrast of the intense beats and the dream state vibe because complacency is on the lurk.

Reuben Halsey - The Meaning of Life (Bobalino Remix)

Lyrics : 

No one can write my life for me
Say who or where I ought to be
I'll make my way through right and wrong
I need to find where I belong

So many dreams inside of me
So many things I long to see
I'm chasing destiny
I am not alone, believe me

We don't know where we belong
We're all walking the same road
If I journey on with you
Maybe I'll find who I am too

Ever searching for a place
Unifies the human race
Put your hand in mine
We will find the meaning of life


[Spoken Word Section by Amber]
---
"I think you know maybe everyone has their own meaning to seek out. 
I definitely don't think there's like a set meaning for everybody. 
Every day everyone seeks in their small way to find their place in the Universe. 
And some people look like they are succeeding more than others but we're all succeeding. Every day we live, every breath we take we're fulfilling our meaning. 

And some people are really into, you know, their religion to show them the way but I believe you should take all of the elements of your world and let them show you the way. 

So I definitely would not want to read the meaning of my life. I wouldn't want to feel that insignificant. I just feel like what makes our world our world is the fact that nobody knows their meaning and we're all kind of like searching together. And I think that's what unifies the human race."
---

The life I seek it calls to me. I've made my way through history.
Give me a reason to be true and show me what I'm meant to do.
So many dreams inside of me, so many things I long to see.
I'm chasing destiny. I am not alone, believe me.

We don't know where we belong
We're all walking the same road
If I journey on with you
Maybe I'll find who I am too

Ever searching for a place
Unifies the human race
Put your hand in mine
We will find the meaning of life

une démo d'il y a 2-3 ans, fignolé viteuf aujourd'hui

Cottonmouth

808/909 & other sounds played with an mpc5000, internal fx used (delay,distortion...)
Some pattern passed throught a Zvex fuzz factory + analog echo to obtain some glitchy/crunchy sounds
Acidline on x0xb0x + MxR distortion+ +boss SE-50
Other synths are from the  VA synth of the mpc
still 5/4 time sig pattern injection in the middle
some sample of traditional Chinese stuff n kung fu movies here n there

there's a lot of similarities with the previous song so I called it 'fu manchu's evil twin' (evil twin is long enough) 'cause I used a delay time of 666ms on the main pad/atmo
666 the delay of the beast !

------------------------------------
Foundation and Early Years (1993–2003)
------------------------------------
In 1993, DJ Zodiak (Marc Pulles) founded Zodiak Commune (partyorganisation), initially as a spontaneous rave after a birthday party. The collective quickly became a legendary force in the Dutch electronic underground. Zodiak was the driving force behind Zodiak Commune parties, a central figure in shaping the second wave of underground Acid and Electro in the Netherlands.

------------------------------------
Foundation and Early Years (1998–2003)
------------------------------------
Zodiak Commune Records (the label) was founded in 1998 by DJ Zodiak as the label arm of the Zodiak Commune collective. From the start, the label was vinyl-first, representing the raw and innovative spirit of Acid music.

The label released tracks covering the breadth of underground acid styles, including Acid Techno, Electro Acid, and Acid IDM, and quickly became recognized as an influential player in the Dutch electronic underground, helping to shape and sculpt the scene.

Between 1998 and 2003, the label also organized Zodiak Commune Records label parties at major cultural venues, including Effenaar (Eindhoven), Doornroosje (Nijmegen), 013 (Tilburg), and other locations across the Netherlands and Belgium.

------------------------------------
Slower Phase (2003–2017)
------------------------------------
After Zodiak stepped back as a DJ and transferred the Zodiak Commune party organization to a non-profit foundation in 2003, the label entered a slower period. Releases were less frequent, but Zodiak Commune Records remained active and respected in the underground scene.

------------------------------------
Revival and Expansion (2017–Present)
------------------------------------
In 2017, Zodiak fully reactivated the label, returning with renewed energy and focus. Since then, Zodiak Commune Records has expanded its activities and built a strong international presence, while remaining true to its vinyl-first Acid identity.

The label now operates multiple sub-labels, including:
* Deep Acid Records – Electro House–oriented
* Outlaw303 – Raw Acid and Electro Acid
* Same Size Soul – Pure Electro
This structure allows the label to explore different underground sounds while staying deeply rooted in the Acid movement.

Zodiak Commune Records places a strong emphasis on supporting new talent alongside established artists, providing a platform for fresh voices in the scene. The team behind the label includes:
* Zodiak (Marc Pulles) – founder & head
* Chris Nexus Six– artwork and visual identity
* Paul Renard – Acid- House & Techno focus – Deep Acid & Zodiak Commune Records
* DJ Feryne – Electro focus – Same Size Soul & Zodiak Commune Records
* G303 – Acid specialist
* Stefan ZMK – Mastering

Together, the team continues to push the underground Acid and Electro movement forward, with the label standing as one of the most consistent and respected names in the European Acid scene.

Looking ahead, Zodiak Commune Records plans to resume label parties, continuing the tradition of live events that showcase their artists and connect directly with the underground community.

-------------------------------------
Important Distinction
Since 2003, Zodiak Commune (the party organization) and Zodiak Commune Records (the label) have been completely separate entities, each with its own team and activities. Zodiak remains fully involved with the label but is no longer connected to the party organization.

------------------------------------
Series
Zodiak Commune Records currently carries the following series (like sublabels):
ZC - Acid Techno, Acid Rave, Raw Acid, Hard Acid
ZC-303 - Acid Techno by Unknown Artists
ZC-ELEC - Electro Acid, Breaks
ZC-KORE - Acidcore, Acidtribe, Acidtekno
ZC-TRIP - Storytelling Acid on 10”
