"HARD TRADE - Core Collusion" is the first compilation to be released on the newly founded label HARD TRADE.
It is a combined effort not only of past participants of the HARD TRADE events but a great number of impressive artists from all over the world.
Especially during these times, it's more important than ever to pull resources together, support each other in any way possible and work on collaborative projects.
We define "the core" as people that join forces to create a common output. We need to act, connect, create and work together to affect and improve society’s understanding of the importance of art.
"Collusion" in the market is usually with poor intentions. For example in cooperate to raise prices over time above competitive levels. This has been done in almost any industry, including the music industry. Our ulterior motive is to research ways of colluding with independent artists and uncover possibilities for them to make a return for their work.
As a first step we decided that all profits will be equally divided between the participating artists.
