Witte Dood info
(Scroll down for the Witte Dood sub-label IJzig Rekords.)
Witte Dood focuses on dark music of nearly any kind. Founded in 2009, its releases are much more DIY than those of the latter. Home-printed artwork in a thin plastic sleeve, 3”CDR discs only. Nothing fancy, just great music. And because of the simple, yet nice packaging, we are able to keep the prices low: only € 2,00 each (excl. p&p).

IJzig info
IJzig is a sub-label of Witte Dood, founded in 2010. The underground aesthetic of the parent label is continued in IJzig. But obviously, it can’t be the same thing... We wanted to take the 3”CDR concept a step further. And it will be of no surprise that there are certain rules, to keep things interesting, we hope. Still, they are 3”CDR discs with home-printed artwork, packaged in thin plastic sleeves. And again, because of the simple, yet nice packaging, we are able to keep the prices low: only € 2,00 each (excl. p&p).
IJzig rules
We invite you. Meaning: don’t send us any messages about wanting to release something on our label. We’ll invite you if we think you’re worthy of IJzig. /// We don’t limit ourselves to any style of music. We do however ask of you that it’s previously unreleased material. /// We only release 3”CDRs with home-printed black and white sleeves. The discs are unlabeled but hand-numbered and the whole thing is packaged in a simple see-through plastic sleeve. /// The front cover is designed by the artist and it needs to be hand-drawn! The artist scans the image and sends it over to us. We do the back cover, in a standardized design. /// We don’t care if you send us only 1 song or perhaps 101… But be reminded that a 3”CDR only holds about 23 minutes of music. /// Releases are limited to 101 copies, hand-numbered on the disc. /// Artists receive 8 copies of the release for free. /// We don’t want to make a profit. Hence prices are the same as for Witte Dood releases: € 2,00 per copy. /// We reserve the right to invite an artist multiple times...
