if you ask me, what's amazing about this label is the fact that you can listen to (and even better, play out!) pretty much anything from the perlon catalogue since its first release up to the newest ones, and they sound right on the money. it's a testament to the quality of selection that zip puts into picking releases, and to the types of artists releasing on this label - those who always manage to keep sight of their purpose in producing music and contributing positively to the communities and principles that first inspired them to identify with underground dance music. it's also due to the fact that its artists resist the urge to overpromote and hype what they do and how they do it - they let the music take care of that.
agree on that
