Zillo

About Me

The word Zillo was taken from a from a band performing in a dream that Jason Charles Rogers had at the age of 14. Upon awakening he decided that what ever experimental genre defying music he would make would come under this banner . As time passed he realized that his genres erred toward dubbed up ambient soundscapes with radio tuning ! Over the years he was involved with many projects and groups both in Cardiff and London .Now settled into his native land he has concentrated his efforts on starting a record label to act as a portal for releases from Zillo(instrumental),The Arc of stars(songs)and various other collaborations and clusters.Be sure to check the zillorecords homepage for the latest updates.
