Che cos’è una netlabel?

embe — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 19:15:42 +0100

We welcome our italian netlabel friend eldino.
He told us: "'il blog di eldino' has been refered many times as the best (the only?) italian resource about this topic. Some posts are in english as well, but it's mainly addressed to italian netlabbers. I did recently a workshop in October about netlabels inside a very important italian festival about arts (read more on my blog) and i bi-weekly talk about netlabels in a radio (via telephone). Take a look :)"
eldino also has a netlabel meter: here you can visually follow how many Gigabytes netlabel music eldino has so far. Today (29-11-2007) the counter is at 126,25 Gb.
il blog di eldino resides now in the 'releases and reviews' part of the blogs sector.

Cin cin!

new kids on the blog

Well, in fact not so new, but I just discovered them recently.
Inq is short for Inquietudes, and the man behind this blog is Mikel Mendia, an artist who is not unknown to the microhouse and chill lovers among us. It also features a podcast of netlabels.
Listen to "Airwaves love" - Mikel Mendia ([site010] Bass Life)

We at Netwaves, always thought we were the only surfers around, but there's another surfer at the horizon who wants to catch up with the waves. Just to tell in bad prose that the blog is called "Catching The Waves". CTW says: "Catching The Waves is a list of things I like, it's not a review of netlabel releases." Though you can find a lot of reviews here as well. Oh, and he just blogged netlabelism.net, what a coincidence, he? ;-) C hear s!

If you wanna fresh up your Hungarian and wanna tälk süm Magyarorszàg, you'll have to try this one: Cult Netmusic. See also the video below.

Das Mutterschiff in English!

At last, but not least: one of the most important netlabel blogs/magazines is coming to the "(d)english" language, ie. Phlow Magazine. Well, it's a blog and podcast about ... euh ... netlabel music. I hope this is a major step to push netlabelism in the traditional music world.
Thanks Mo, Svenand Brigitte!

porn music for the masses

embe — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 18:24:36 +0200

i choose this title, not because it's the subtitle of one of the most downloaded netlabel issues "Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka 1 [csr049]" (146153 downloads untill today),
not because this title refers to these provoking titles/names on it:
Baise et Rebaise Moi - Lubna Lux
Brainwank (Psycho Foo Edit) - Colektro
Gloria - Pearls of Joy
Half An Hour Is For Free - The Devil In Miss Jones (featuring Fats Bob Trumpet)
Hatesex - Mr. Juno
Ici la Femme (XXX Mix) Louise Vertigo - The Lounge King
It Was A Dream - Ton Rückert
The Love God - Martinibomb
The Porn King - The Funky Filter
Silk And Sweat - Thybbuk
Take Me Now! - Nick Chapman
Vuluke Khall (Instrumental Version) - DJ Bootsie
Whose Fantasy Is This, Anyways? - Mr Melvis (featuring R. Stevie Moore and Ms. Demeanor)
not because there's a call for submission for a second edition of this album with the same subtitle, hosted by WM Recordings,
not because the brain behind this initiative is the late, naughty netlabel Comfort Stand Recordings with other outstanding compilations,
but just to attract a few more visitors ...

I also added the brandnew "Wundertunes" to the blog department of this site. Quote: "Wundertunes is a magazine for contemporary music and art, which is published as free content with creative commons licenses or other copy-left licenses. We will review creative commons music releases, netlabels and underground labels as well as doing artist interviews ..." They also have already made a compilation of netlabel music: the Wundertunes Spring Compilation.
Welcome to the growing netlabel community guys!

Marco wint Dutch Bloggies

embe — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 22:46:16 +0100

De blog van onze Nederlandse vriend Marco Raaphorst is gisteren bij de Dutch Bloggies uitgeroepen tot "Beste Muziekweblog". De jury vond oa.: "Zijn blog is een en al muziek. Vinger aan de pols houdend over relevante ontwikkelingen zoals Creative Commons en DRM. Geopinieerd over de actuele stuiptrekkingen van de industrie. En creatief in het toepassen van moderne webtechnieken."
Netwaves had in februari nog een gesprek met de man: je kan het hier nog eens herbeluisteren.
Of lees hier een mooi vloekende blog over de muziekindustrie.

Vanwege Netwaves: proficiat Marco, en nog veel dikke bloggen!

Via the CC blog - where netlabelism/netwaves was blogged today :-) - i discovered the existence of ccNeLas.

NeLas started to blog with the same reasons as me: "Since I've been listening to excellent songs published under Creative Commons licenses, I decided to create this music blog and promote these artists. So, ccNeLaS is my personal selection of songs, organized by genres!"
Earlier today, I encountered another interesting project: CCHits, a social website with an interactive chart of Creative Commons music. I tried to add a song (Tape Tum), but i found it a kind of taking too much time. Just try it yourself (membership!) and leave a comment.
