Hey all
Been a little bit since i posted anything and for that i am sorry. Had my hands full making & promoting music as well as going on a little holiday.
Now i’m back and i have been thinking about how i want to move forward with zikzak.
As some of you no doubt know, i am an avid twitter devote. Unfortunately it has really fallen off a cliff and i’m not sure what if anything will be taking its place. It has been very critical in helping me connect with people, both socially and “professionally” (if making almost no money making music can be called a profession..but i digress…)
I have resisted making this a subscriber thing and i will continue to keep it 100% free. I have been making mixes and i think thats what i will concentrate on from here out. Will also do some reviews but they will be sporadic.
Working on a monster Ambient Techno zikzak mix and it will concentrate on the golden era as i see it, from 1991 to 1996. Probably will be a 5 hour mix because i hate myself.
I hope that will be done in the next few weeks and then i can share it with you. I had been doing them on bandcamp but for reasons i think many of you can intuit, its a slippery slope going that route. I just signed up for a wetransfer account so i will be able to provide links so people can download the mixes free of charge along with the track listings. I plan to do smaller mixes that are just a more freeform thing that run across all genres at least once a month i think. Those too will be downloadable via the links
Some of you have been exceptionally gracious in donating money via Bandcamp when i do those mixes and its really been a bit of a Godsend. I have set up a Ko-Fi account, so that way, if you want to help support what i’m doing here, you can still donate. They make me put a minimum amount so i have it set as low as they let me go at $1.00 but you can donate that amount or anything above. I appreciate any and all support. Truly.
I want to expand on zikzak lowly but surely to make sure there is a place where you can get some measure of musical “discourse” from me. I do hope that Bluesky brings some community back after the failure of twitter, but that remains to be seen. Regardless, this will be a place where i can keep in touch with everyone, and i hope it will be of value to you as well
Thanks for letting me ramble and i will have a new mix for you soonish i hope
thanks - pj
I want to listen to those five hours of mix, man. Greetings from Barcelona.
