We would appreciate any help you can spare to help with station and show costs! THANK YOU!***************************************************** I am honored to have been bestowed with such gifted musicians and music and to be revered with such respect among my peers. Thanks so much for your love and support as we continue to rise to the top of the music industry. I am currently fielding investors and/or partners to make HALSHACK RECORDS a reality. I have partners who are former major label reps as we all come from a major label background in some capacity. I earned a partnership with REVERBNATION about 3 years ago through the former owner of the company Lou Plaia. He and his partners after 15 years of investment into the indie music community sold the company to Bandlab! A Singaporean company. I have continued that relationship as most reps still work for the company. They have fed me hundreds of new bands through their "Opportunities network" as well as my contacts with Belinda Carlisle and Eminem and Lil Zane and Nic Collins (son of Phil Collins) in his own band as a drummer as he is also the current touring drummer for Genesis! Im very very honored to have these credits!We recently put heavy focus on the radio station for ZENO FM! So far it has received massively strong positive reviews and people have logged thousands of hours of listening for the station in a short time! AWESOME!! Find the show on every major music platform in the world and on ZENO FM (exclusive content) and on HALSHACK.com

We're taking a look back at last year's great tracks! We had 1000 tracks on the show over the year! If you're new to the show or want a refresher then we have your needs covered! Its Tracks of Fate 2 (pt 2 of 3) Its our end of the year recap series we started last year where we roll the dice on the universe to create us an awesome retrospective look back at our 2025 tunes! I did not want to deliberate for weeks over what to choose for you to hear so I rolled a 20 sided die for each show (73 weekly episodes combined) I used about 64 tracks and gave you 3 quality shows made of random goodness! Every show is quality, every song on our show is quality, so it doesn't matter where the die landed it was going to be a killer mix regardless! That's one reason I didn't worry about curating this by hand. If this show was geared to be only a handful of hits and the rest filler (as most indie shows are) then I could have easily chosen the tracks to be featured! Enjoy this stellar indie hit mix from yours truly with the help of RNG (random is fun) I built each shows flow out of the tracks or bands that we had to work with from the selections! Find everything at Halshack.com including the tracklist on the Shacklists page! See you next week for Tracks of Fate 2 pt 3!
