After the prestigious Californian music journalist Marcels Music Journal reported two years ago, the premiere hardvapour artist Ivan Zlatković was about to open his brand new record label 'The Ivan Collection' with his first EP, 'EP One'. This EP was listed at an pre-order of 249.99 Euros and despite large sales the EP was sadly, never delivered.
What in fact took place in the years between then and today is the story of legend and mythology. A story for another today... Today's story, instead, is the return of The One True King, Ivan Zlatković to the realm of hardvapour.
Yes... You see for many years The One True King has watched as Hardvapour culture burned itself to the ground. He watched, without word nor actions, as Hardvapour swallowed itself whole. Lost without the vision of The King. He just watched as HVRF Records ceased operations for many months as it's rumoured owner The Borg went galavanting around Europe in search of strippers, cocaine and other degeneracies and debased activites.
Yes. The King watched as Antifur Records also destroyed itself, becoming owned by an old Romanian man and his fat idiotic son. Another fat man from Croatia with the IQ of a dunce also had control. As did the most depressed idiot of Ukraine, Flash Kostivich. And let us not forget the original owner, Chicken Wing Bitch himself. Now all that remains is the fake glorification of the False King, Vit Yani of Ukraine...
It is sad.. The King just watched as other Hardvapour legends disappeared into nothing. Alina Vovk, Flash, Deep State, Yarky, Sandtimer, Pippo, The Borg, Lord Mu, Henry Wong, Raj Kapoor, that kid from Venezuela I forget the name of, and even Ogritch, lest we forget. So many legends.. Not a peep, nor a sound from these original Hardvapour Heroes. All disappeared. Heck, even Chicken Wing Bitch himself was gone...
It has been very sad.
He watched.. and he watched... He watched as Hardvapour committed seppuku.. he watched as Hardvapour simply.. ... ... just died.
...
...but now he is done watching.
And now The King is back. And he is back to resurrect Hardvapour ... with that famous touch of sophistication that only he knows.
And so - This is the debut of Sophistication Sounds Hardvapour. The ONLY professional Hardvapour record label with 100% guaranteed sophistication. We deal with sophisticated Hardvapour singles of highest quality, luxury and prestige and we are searching for the next Hardvapour Heroes to revive this kulture to its former glory.
Get ready.
We are coming back... (at a reasonable price now this time...)
This is Ivan Zlatković
This is your "One True King"
(and Deep State for Side B remix, who we managed to found again in a long dead Chess server from 1999)
Indeed, welcome my friends. This is the one and only.. Sophistication Sounds Hardvapour.
