Hey nullptrs!
Thought we'd make a post looking back on things we did, and accomplishments we made within the past year. Here's to the first recap post!
Nulcheck made a recap post as well, and since of course he's the only one in this label, everything here was taken from his post. Only the record label stuff was copied over, any of his personal stuff won't be included in here.

Online Presence
Several things for the label were finally created during 2023. A logo was created, more social media accounts were made, and label playlists on various sites like Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube were also created.
Socials
Several social accounts were created for the label during this past year. Most of them were making label accounts on music sites for the label playlists. We also created a label account / page on Bandcamp on July 7th, 2023. A discord server for the label was also created.
Here's a list of links to the various online stuff:

Logo
Last year on June 4th, 2022, Nulcheck came up with the name "Nullify Records" and "Nullify Synth". However, we didn't do much with it at the time. This year on June 8th, 2023, through many iterations, we finally have a pretty neat logo for the label.
Website
Well, as you can see here, a website for the record label was created earlier this year. On July 1st, 2023, Nulcheck was updating his personal website, when he mentioned in a tweet that he was going to add a newsletter / blog type thing to his site. But, he thought it was better suited for the label rather than him personally, and said that it should be a separate website.
A few days later on July 4th, 2023, a website for the record label was created, using a Wix.com template. Nulcheck worked on it for several days to get it the way he wanted, then made tweaks to it over time.
VST Synth
Last year we started work on our very own VST synthesizer called NullifySynth. We didn't get to work on it for a while, as Nulcheck started work on his first album in September of 2022. However, earlier this year, we did manage to get some more work done on it and created a new beta version. It's still far from being released though, we want it to be in a somewhat stable state for the public.
Releases
We only managed to get one release in 2023 since Nulcheck was hard at work on his fist album. The release, //put null check here, was the first track to be released from the album music != null. It was the first and only one to be completed at the time, and was released on May 14th, 2023. Nulcheck wanted the track's artwork to be the same design as the album's artwork, just with a different color scheme. So, the album artwork had to be designed and completed before the release of the track.

Nulcheck Launched Kofi Page
Sure this one is more of a personal thing, but we'll mention something like this for any of the artists under the label!
Our artist Nulcheck launched his Kofi page on September 18th, 2023. It's similar to Patreon, but they take a small flat-rate cut out of what you make on there (Patreon takes a percentage of what you make). So, Nulcheck created his own personal blog on Kofi, and you can support him there directly.
Now we won't go into too much detail, you can read about it on his own 2023 recap post. His Kofi page will be more about his stuff, but there will be some record label things on there (like this whole post), as he is the owner and only person of the label at this time. But, there will be more frequent updates and stuff on his Kofi page, than on here. There will be both Yearly Recaps and Yearly Plans posts on both Nulcheck's Kofi page, and our label's newsletter here. However, the label's newsletter will be more about the label, with a few stuff pertaining to the artists. More detailed info and personal things will be on artists' own blogs.

Milestones
While that concludes our newsletter, we thought we'd mention some milestones the label, and our artists have made in 2023. Since Nulcheck is our only artist, all the milestones will be from him, and are on his 2023 Recap post on Kofi as well.
