Zak Norman Brighton, UK

News, blog, promo

A seasoned promoter with 5 years experience in managing events, Zak Norman has gathered his collective knowledge and unpitying opinions to regular contributions for the Net-Lab blog. A vital figure for the success and coherence of the ‘indoor festival’ Luminopolis (formerly The Synergy Project) and the musically luxurious Future Music parities, Zak has established and refined a constantly evolving musical community within the London and Brighton clubbing scene. His hiatus from the aforementioned environments has allowed him to focus on his record labels; the sub-frequency obsessed Blood Tribe Records, and the experimentally sweet Maternity, co-run with David Rzepa (Sick Rebel) and Adam J.B (Halogen). Zak also creates music under the moniker Whipperslacker, look out for forthcoming releases on his own imprint.
