What we did to make this happen
It's not a surpise.
The secret to our success lies in making and producing music that people want to hear again, and again, and again. We deliver to artists refinement to their works. What we don't do is control their artistic license. It's a symbiotic partnership that works. We listen; we suggest; we guide; and we are able to collaborate with the artist to refine their masterpiece.

We're Prolific
100 Albums in 100 Days
Embracing Passion to become prolific
In October of 2024, ChatDMZ was on a roll, releasing new songs almost daily. As a band of one Duncan Larkin, a former competitive marathoner used to pushing boundaries, decided why not try to go for something equally crazy and bold: releasing 100 albums in 100 days. Normally, this would be seen as a bad move: too much can get listeners lost in the noise. Sometimes being selective and judicious is the way to go with music production, but sometimes, as is with this case, just laying it all out there and having fun with the experience instead of stressing about what will work and not work.
Note: The songs are mostly all an arrangement of loops, which is how we made it happen in record time.
