Reviews & Discussion
Surely the best dark progressive label out there. It is sad that nowadays dark progressive music is being produced by only a handful of artists and is no more popular on the dancefloor. But it is always good to know that there were such labels like Zero Tolerance and you can listen to the quality sound anytime. Everyone who's into progressive should dig all the ZT releases. Believe me, you'll like them all.
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous reviewer and more. Zero Tolerance was (and still is) the most innovative & unique labels in the "Progressive" community. They somewhat defined their own genre and pushed some of the most talented & unique artists of the time. The 2001 period was absolutely amazing for the "Progressive House/Breaks" community. A lot of people were experimenting with genre-bending productions and the ZT boys were at the forefront of that.
Zero Tolerance - for the most part - took on a very dark, moody, and funky approach to dance music. I could name out tracks, but it is much more succinct for me to tell you to refer to Gab Olivier's "No Nonsense" CD compilation. It features some of the darkest, moodiest, and funkiest tracks on the label.
This label and the artists involved with it were my bread & butter when it came to that particular Australian sound. It was a sad day when they shut their doors, but I'd like to personally thank everyone who was productively involved in Zero Tolerance. You all are dearly missed!

One of the best progressive labels in Australia if not the world, ZT pushed out quite a few deep & dark tracks before folding in 2004. Primarily focused on local (that is to say, Australian) producers, the label garnered serious buzz after the early success of their Narcotik (Gab Olivier & CJ Dolan) release Blue, featured on Sasha's Global Underground 009: San Francisco.
Andy Page provided two contributions under his ASAP name, & Luke Chable scored some of his early hits here (Eat Static//After the Storm) also collaborating with fellow Aussie Ivan Gouch under the Digital Mind Control moniker.
Those who dabble in progressive house should compile a full collection of ZT releases, as they are uniformly strong.
