What this site is

Zero Crossing is an independent information site about electronic music and about how small labels release it. It explains genres, vinyl pressing, digital and physical distribution, home production and, in general terms, the electronic scene in Austin, Texas.

The site is written for people who are curious about the topic or thinking about releasing music of their own. It does not sell records, does not represent any label, artist or venue, and is not affiliated with any of them.

How the pages are written

Each guide is meant to be useful on its own and to link to the related guides. Where a figure such as a tempo range or a date is given, it is a general rule of thumb or a widely documented fact, and the text says so when it is only a rough guide. Prices, lead times and listings change, so check current details with the companies and organisers concerned.

The guides are not legal, financial or tax advice. For decisions about company formation, contracts or rights, ask a qualified professional in your country.

A note on names

Any company, product, festival or place mentioned in a guide is named only to explain how the music world works. A mention is not an endorsement, and no one paid for it.
