After 2 years of fruitful cooperation with the nice people of pub AperO in Leuven (be), our cooperation has changed in favor of our individual new projects. For netwaves.bpm this means it's resourcing itself to the old-skool way of making mixes in the radio station studio with core material . What's more: netwaves.bpm now sees the opportunity to send invitations to international deejays/producers to create netwaves-flavored mixes/productions which will be broadcasted every wednesday at 23:00-01:00.

EMI, one of the gang of four, posted tracks of some of its' artists on the 'piracy haven' RapidShare for marketing and promotion reasons. There is a word for it: hypocrisy.
Jamendo: "This month, electronic artist Professor Kliq shares with you his best tips for increasing exposure on jamendo. Professor Kliq is a top-selling artist on jamendo PRO and has seen his fan-base grow dramatically in the three years since he joined jamendo. Read on to find out what he believes contributed to his success and use his tips to gain exposure yourself as a jamendo artist!"
This week netwaves interviews young upcoming dubstep talent Lindien about his music, dubstep, netlabels, electrobel and his future (interview in Dutch).
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""
via homerecording.be krijgen we volgende oproep om muziek-inzendingen op te sturen voor een Linux/Ubuntu distributie die speciaal op maat van mix-dj's gemaakt wordt:
"Ik ben momenteel bezig met d 2e versie van MixxxOS, het eerste besturingssysteem speciaal voor digitale dj's.
In de nieuwe release willen we ook wat muziek toevoegen zodat gebruikers meteen aan de slag kunnen. Waaraan de tracks moeten voldoen is het volgende: Vrije licentie bv Creative Commons FLAC, WAV of OGG formaat README bijvoegen met artist info, weblinks, licentie en overige aanvullingen Enigzins gangbaar en prettig om te mixxxen 100% eigen werk of iig 100% legaal
We discrimineren wel behoorlijk want tracks gemaakt met Linux en/of FOSS krijgen voorrang Het is toegestaan om meerdere tracks aan te melden maar gelieve wel gevarieerd gezien van elke stijl maximaal 2 tracks worden toegevoegd en nooit van dezelfde artiest.
Versie 2.0 gaat ergens komende week uitkomen dus wil je nog in de 2.0 release mag je opschieten. Je kan wel gewoon tracks blijven inzenden want bij elke update worden de tracks veranderd zodat iedereen zijn moment van roem krijgt.
Girl Talk releases his last album under a CC license (attribution - non-commercial). Girl Talk is a master in mashups: he mixes samples of existing songs into a new song. For this album he used about 380 samples from about 300 artists. He is also the guy who features as one of the protagonists in the movie 'RiP: A Remix Manifesto'.
If you like a rollercoaster of 'the best of the best of' in a mix of 1 hour dancefloor fun, you should download this release. You can also use it as a quiz.
Psychoded, the man behind netlabels Zimmer records (techno, house), Akashic records (electronic, ambient) and Haushaltsware (deep house, idm, techdub) sent a message that he stops with Zimmer and Akashic. We don't know anything about netlabel Haushaltsware yet. Sad news indeed.
We found this info on his press page @ facebook:
-'man soll gehen wenn es am sch�nsten ist .. ^^' -'there will be some releases to be released the next weeks, but no new stuff ... after "hermetic principles 7" the whole story will be told...' -'lack of support' (reply: 'can't understand... all netlabels has lack of support, and this is not new...') -'guess i will have to rethink some issues - and then move to africa. fed up with all here...' -'akashic-records will also be down after number 12. so still 8 releases to come there. hold tight :)'
Not only was Zimmer very known for its broad gamma of techno, house, techhouse and chill, but also for its coverart, which was always made of blue or black ball pen drawings.

Last week a new netlabel newsgroup launched under curatorship of Mystified.
Read the about:
"'netlabelposts' is a free list for posting about music released on netlabels. The focus is on free and cc-licensed music. Promotional posts are permitted, as well as reviews, project invitations, radio playlists and similar posts. Any rudeness/threats will not be tolerated and will result in immediate banning. In general, feel free to use this list to build a communication network for the netlabel community, informing one another about topics relevant to netlabels."
netwaves had already collected these newsgroups about netlabels and netaudio on its 'basics' page:
alle tafels zijn uitverkocht! 36 tafels verspreid over 20 standhouders in 2 zalen; genres: rock, alternative, new wave, punk, house, techno, reggae, ...
News from the Berlin netaudio festival front: "We would like to inform you about a new publication on the website of Netaudio Berlin which is finally ready.
This publication has developed from the idea to keep hold of some personal perspectives, interesting anecdotes and developed ideas � alongside with some theoretical thoughts � as an outcome of the festival. And analogue to the colorful mixture of participants in the festival, we were able to tie a turbulent bundle of texts in style, types and perspectives. Most of them are very friendly and full of (personal) enthusiasm, others are meant to increase and develop the content, framework and general setup of the festival.
You might leave comments on the texts if you like - and we would really love to read your remarks, footnotes and opinions. We are curious about any of your comments."
Netwaves also wants to mention that a part from this publication exists in netwaves' podcast contributions to the netaudio festival and the netlabel world.

Eurocommissaris Neelie Kroes (die van de EU vs. Microsoft) wil het auteursrecht in Europees verband moderniseren. Dat zei ze tijdens een conferentie in Frankrijk op 5 november jl. Kroes vindt dat het auteursrecht te versnipperd is en de belangen van creatieven onvoldoende beschermt. Ook vindt Kroes dat derde partijen, zoals uitgevers en belangenorganisaties zoals Buma/Stemra en BREIN, te veel macht hebben. Ze noemt hun positie "onhoudbaar". De eurocommissaris wil dat overheden de handhaving van het auteursrecht weer op zich gaan nemen.
A mysterious incident occurred with Hazard Records at the Internet Archive:
Hazard: "In august 2008, Hazard Records released the album "This Is The End, Beautiful Friend", by File Under Toner and uploaded it to the Internet Archive. It was made by recording run-out grooves (supposedly silent) of thirty-six selected records and manipulating them both by analogue and digital means. The audible result is a series of thirty-six short tracks of manipulated surface noise.
This record poses a couple of questions: "do the silent run-out grooves have copyrights?" and "in case they have, who do they belong to?". For this reason, it uses records from artists who have been involved in copyright infringement cases before. It used run-out grooves of records by Abba, Michael Jackson and James Brown, all of them known for suing artists who had used fragment of their works out of context.
At the end of September 2010, the album "This Is The End, Beautiful Friend", by File Under Toner, was "made unavailable" by the Internet Archive due to "issues with the item's content".
So, we have un-censored the record (made it available again) in October 2010. Just to (try to) keep things calm, we have removed (part of) the liner notes and replaced them by the open letter we wrote to the Internet Archive. The original liner notes can still be found in a text file (hopefully invisible for automatic filters). We hope that this is a good solution for this situation. However, it might be a good idea to download the record quickly, just in case."
Don't forget to have a look at the contest by the Libre Comme L'air/LCL netlabel: "La boite a sons" (the Soundbox). Submit your creation before 31 dec. 2010.
Procedure: 1- Produce a track using one or several of the sounds featured in the bank 2- Send us your track using this Soundcloud Dropbox :

Netlabels have a new promotor: netlabelism.com. In their team we find a range of long-time netlabelistas from netlabels, ao. rec72, Zimmer-Records, Haushaltsware, Modularfield, all with their base in the city of Cologne. As far as netwaves understands, they're intending to write reviews and release compilations, and that is what the netlabel world still needs more and more. Cheers, guys!
Netwaves goes eclectic: an update in a broad range of genres, right from the newest netlabel releases. *** sorry for the terrible distorted quality in the first 5 minutes: you know, a non-profit volunteer radio ... sigh!

New Music Strategies calls for a massive quitting of MySpace on 24th oct. Netwaves' MySpace page is already more than 1 year in passive mode, and maybe we will quit Rupert Murdoch's shit, but i can't find the delete button. Does anyone know how to quit?
One of the people behind New Music Strategies is Andrew Dubber who wrote a very interesting and must-read book (free pdf) about the music business online: "The 20 things you MUST know about music online"
An excerpt: "There is also the story about how the internet is �killing� the record industry. Downloading, and the practice of burning CDs is single-handedly responsible for the impending demise of the major labels, causing the decline of high street retail and is undermining traditional, �natural� models of music distribution and consumption � and consequently preventing rights holders from receiving their deserved reward for their part in the creative process. Nonsense. In fact, technology does not �cause� these things. Technology changes and we choose our response. We have agency and can negotiate these shifts in media, as long as we understand them as they happen."
You know this kind of music: you can dance on it, but don't know how to call the genre. This music all ends up with the IDM tag: according to some people Idiot Dance Music, for others Intelligent Dance Music, netwaves calls it, well, IDM.
