A coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances which have no apparent causal connection with each other.
The perception of remarkable coincidences may lead to supernatural, occult, or paranormal claims. Or it may lead to belief in fatalism, which is a doctrine that events will happen in the exact manner of a predetermined plan.
From a statistical perspective, coincidences are inevitable and often less remarkable than they may appear intuitively. An example is the birthday problem, which shows that the probability of two persons having the same birthday already exceeds 50% in a group of only 23 persons.
Etymology
The word is derived from the Latincum- ("with", "together") and incidere (a composed verb from "in" and "cadere": "to fall on", "to happen").
Coincidence as synchronicity
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung developed a theory which states that remarkable coincidences occur because of what he called "synchronicity," which he defined as an "acausal connecting principle."
Blind Chance (Polish:Przypadek) is a Polish film written and directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski and starring Bogusław Linda. The film presents three separate storylines, told in succession, about a man running after a train and how such an ordinary incident could influence the rest of the man's life. Originally filmed in 1981, Blind Chance was suppressed by the Polish authorities for several years until its delayed release in Poland on 10 January 1987.
Plot
Witek (Bogusław Linda), sitting on an airplane, for some reason screams "No!" A bleeding person is dragged across a hospital floor. As a child, Witek learns how to write. As an adolescent, Witek dates Czuszka. As an adult, Witek goes to medical school but 'loses' his calling after the death of his father. Witek decides to catch a train to Warsaw. There he crashes into a fellow drinking beer. Three different outcomes are shown, each depending on how Witek deals with the obstacles on his way to catching the train and whether or not he catches the train.
As every label, Coincidence gets its fair share of demos. In these days of digital streaming and torrents many labels have come rather hesitant to sign tracks from newcomers. Which is unfortunate, because it also closes the door for the future top producers who might one day take over from the 'old' techno generation.
We wanted to do something with those demos and at the same time, do something cool for those youngsters knocking at the door of what will be hopefully a long and interesting career. And the best way to achieve a common goal is: collaboration.
So, we are proud to present: Twelve. A compilation featuring twelve tracks of a dozen of artists who each submitted one track. Yes, some tracks might sound raw an unpolished, others will simply sound out of place, but we just feel pote...

Helder Guimarães: A magical search for a coincidence
Small coincidences. They happen all the time and yet, they pass us by because we are not looking for them. In a delightfully subtle trick, magician Helder Guimarães demonstrates with a deck of cards, a dollar bill and a stuffed giraffe.

So, we are proud to present: Twelve. A compilation featuring twelve tracks of a dozen of artists who each submitted one track. Yes, some tracks might sound raw an unpolished, others will simply sound out of place, but we just feel potential and that's all what is important in this case.
Besides the digital release, we will also press one copy on a 3LP vinyl. Cut meticulously by mastering engineer Misjah at 24Mastering, this will be an absolute collector's item and the best part: it won't even be for sale. But we will give it away to one lucky punter who buys a presale ticket for our upcoming label night at Kompass (Gent, Belgium) on 12th November.
Anyway, hope you'll enjoy the first edition of Twelve. We hope we'll be able to fill a lot more of these in the coming years.
