Draku Returns with His Deeply Atmospheric Second Release on City of Drums Black Label: “Dark Plantasia”

City of Drums Black Label is proud to present the second release from rising electronic producer Draku: the evocative and immersive “Dark Plantasia.” Blending deep melodic house, hypnotic techno grooves, and cinematic soundscapes, this release invites listeners into an otherworldly ecosystem—where darkness blooms and nature pulses with electronic life.

Draku experienced a strange dream: a dense jungle where every leaf and vine moved to the beat of an invisible rhythm. But this was no peaceful paradise—this forest had a pulse, a heart, and a darkness. Creatures stirred in the undergrowth, roots whispered secrets, and the plants danced to a brooding melodic techno symphony.
“Dark Plantasia” was born from that dream.

🎵 The Sound of an Organic Dreamscape. Across its runtime, Dark Plantasia explores contrasts—light and dark, organic and synthetic, meditative and driving. 

This release captures the core ethos of City of Drums Black Label—music that pushes boundaries, tells stories, and creates immersive sonic environments.

Draku’s ability to blend emotion, groove, and storytelling has already caught the attention of melodic house and techno lovers. With “Dark Plantasia,” he takes a bold step forward in both artistry and concept, crafting a release that is as thoughtful as it is danceable.

Whether you're a DJ looking for atmospheric tracks that still move the floor, or a listener seeking a deep headphone journey, Dark Plantasia is a must-experience.

------------------------------------
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.

------------------------------------
