we celebrate the new year with a new face for our blog and a compilation with an overview of the best netlabeltunes from 2011, put together (under direction of Phlow) by several international netlabelistas: listen to netwaves' contribution:
netwaves is not the only one celebrating its' fifth birtday, there's also the Groovecaffe netlabel, a Zagreb based netlabel specialised in groovy beats and chills; for their birthday-party they released a very nice compilation with sweet melodys and relaxed grooves: dig it here ---> :-)
LibreCommeLair:
"Summer 2009 : LibreCommeLair (LCL) opens a free creative commons sound bank filled by the artists who collaborated or released on the label. To spread the new, LCL decides to organize a remix contest based on the sound bank. Some musicians remixed one track, some mashed up two, others mixed up several and one even used all the samples in the same track (guess wich one) !
Early 2011 : after monthes of dilemna, a jury composed of Netaudio and Creative Commons music actors makes a selection of the contest entries. This Jury is composed by FreeMusicArchive (U.S.), Notheen (Hungary), Subflow (France), DivergenceFM (France), INQ (Spain), Netwaves (Belgium), Netaudio Berlin (Germany), AQuietBump (Italy), iD.EOLOGY (Germany) and Dogmazic (France).
Here is their selection, casted into the form of a dense and impetuous compilation of 10 sonic candies browsing a wide musical spectrum.
Dub, reggae, d'n'b, hip hop, electronica, all for your aural pleasure !"
LibreCommeLair is your quality netlabel with lots of free dub, reggae, ragga, dubstep, world, electronic fusion, hip hop, ... Netwaves is honoured and happy for the participation as member of jury in this project.
Listen to the 3rd and last release 'Count Your Blessings' (1987-1989) by not-so-legendary old punk-band Transmitters, now available under cc:by-nc-nd license, and distributed by Portuguese netlabel with the funny name 'You are not stealing records'.
Spread the word and tunes, or as YANSR advises:
"Feel free to share with friends, listen at home, work or jail. If you play our music as a DJ in a club and a copyright mafia guy asks you for money we both are being stolen. As Lawrence Ferlinghetti would say, to those motherfuckers we "raise our middle finger, in the only proper salute""
The other release is a compilation of nice electronics by German and Russian artists, called "fern - a summer night's dream". This is high overall standard quality by the very sympathic Phonocake.
