IZM Records

About Me


IZM Records was founded in 2005 in the wake of a dying music industry. IZMs dire purpose is to endorse, promote and put-out modern music that the discriminating ear of the underground can feel, revel in, and embrace...music that IZ relevant, intense and GOOD! modern jazz, junglebop, freespazz, punkjungle, live drumNbass/ jungle/idm.
IZM RECORDS IS CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING UNSOLICITED DEMOS BUT MAY OPEN OUR POLICY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. But heck, we're open to hearing what you've got to offer musically...befriend us on myspace & let us know what you've got going on!
Checkout The Muse Cafe , which althought is now closed, was the new spot for junglebop, freepazz, modern jazz, live idm, and experimental techno for just short of 2 years, closing on April 1st 07' (owned by Dave Z Marsalek & Joe Grez).

Nick Marsalek

The Muse Cafe

Influences: Warp, Relapse, Ninja Tune, squarepusher, red snapper, the live jungle/drumNbass/glitch/ IDM/drillNbass/breakcore scene, Jungle Bop, Freespazz, progressive artists and bands that have the ability to filter through all the meaningless banter of established scenes, to realize that the true message they have within them is necessary, vital, and relevant to the music world around them...may they be courageous to make a move and be what they truly ARE, and do something about that darn noise in their head...
Sounds Like: Junglebop, freespazz, junglejazzcore, punkjungle, flexSPAZflounderfishCryBadmoveTither, modern jazz, coltrane if he lived to dig jungle, spedup james brown minus the vocals and bebop arrangements, jaco pastorius if he lived past a drunken stupor, squarepusher if he had the balls to ACTUALLY get a reallive drummer that could play those traps (well aware of "Music is Rotted One Note"), Red Snapper with their amp to eleven and enough of this smooth ass liquid stuff (no offense, i love them dearly!), modern jazz breakbeat, a runaway train blowing swiftly through city subways, demolishing all in its path...musically speaking of course!
Record Label: I.Z.M. Records
Type of Label: Indie
