Publishing programme

The label is a one-man-band, run by Iztok Zupan, a music connoisseur of a broad horizon. An avid music photographer, he is among other things also a recording professional and he recorded and mastered the better part of the recent releases on his label. He often records for various festivals, sometimes publishing the recordings on his own label, in regards to which the collaborations with Jazz Cerkno Festival come to mind.

Releases by Klopotec feature, for example, the composer Milko Lazar, the versatile accordionist Marko Hatlak, the hypnotic folk of Širom, and a number of works by the renowned Slovene drummer Zlatko Kaučič. Of the artists from abroad, one can mention Trevor Watts, Daunik Lazro, Joe McPhee, and Jasmine Choi.
