Colorado Instrumental Fanzine – 4x4 International Surf Compilation (Iceberg Blue 7”)

A snapshot of the modern surf underground, this four-band compilation curated by Colorado Instrumental Fanzine brings together artists from across the globe, proving the sound is alive, evolving, and far from confined to the coast.

Kicking things off, Mark Malibu & The Wasagas represent Canada with “Great Lake Surfer,” a high-energy tribute to freshwater wave riders braving icy conditions and freezing temperatures.

From Belgium, Humanga Danga delivers “Red Desert Rampage,” a cinematic burner that imagines Dick Dale tearing through a desert chase at full speed. It blends surf, spy, and exotica influences into something both chaotic and controlled.

Sys Malakian brings “Idilio,” a more introspective piece rooted in melody and atmosphere, featuring a lineup of seasoned players that lean into the deeper side of instrumental surf.

Closing it out, The Terra Surfers from Colorado contribute “Solar Vortex,” a scorching modern track that captures the energy of a new band pushing the genre forward.

Pressed as a 7” vintl, this release is collectible and built around discovery. Four bands, four countries, one cohesive snapshot of where surf stands today.

Why We Carry It

This is what the modern surf scene actually looks like. Global, independent, and driven by people who care about the sound. Colorado Instrumental Fanzine consistently puts out releases that highlight that energy, and this one is no exception.
