With average music listeners in mind, who don't get lost with excitement in dusty box at their record dealer of choice we crafted this compilation. We made our girlfriend listen to the music, asked her for advice and offer you now a true pop music compilation for people who enjoy some happy melodies.

Smile with us listening to melancholic songs from The Black Atlantic or Jsvenes y Sexys from South America. Please push your chair aside and dance to some disco music from Comfort Fit and Opolopo and clap your hands with that four to the floor beat. Laugh about the mad rhymes by Tracky Birthday and get mad with Professor Kliq. Get down with some some downtempo hip hop from fLako and B-Ju and rise your hands again into the air with Henrik Jose.

Advent Calendar Door 6 | While trying to set the netaudio.es workteam we spread the word amongst friends mailing lists and social networks. David replied in just a few hours with an extensive mail, just after crossing some mountains nearby Russia. After reading the third line of we knew he was the guy. Having a look at his website will give you an idea of what i call intense activity... Heavily involved in organizing and producing lan parties and demoscene events around spain he talks about himself...

David quoting _sml! david:

"David 'sml' Domingo has been musician, dj, producer, visual jockey, designer and event organizer in the last years.
He's the co-director of netaudio.es and one of the main organizers of "netAudio Barcelona", the annual netaudio festival based in Barcelona (Spain).
His long background in the demoscene took him to the netaudio scene as a logical evolution and now tries to promote the local scene with activities and collaborations."

Advent Calendar Door 2 | "2008 was an incredible year for me to digg deeper into the world of netlabelism. Our magazine opened its leaves like a flower and each month I discovered more incredible music from different places on earth. One highlight in spring was the licence-clearing of six netlabel-tracks for a design conference in Berlin called Typo Berlin. I got the chance to get some money and promotion for Pirata, Apes on Tapes, le mépris, Ambidextrous and Morkva, The Incognito Traveller and The Raincoated Man. Thumbs up!

Barcelona, London, Cologne...

In late summer and autumn than, two highlights appeared. First I visited Barcelona and the gentle people from Netaudio.es. Thank you for inviting me to Spain!

And in october I flew to Netaudio London with the crazy people from 12rec Netlabel. Yeah, I am talking about Sim Sullen and Sven Swift - our dedicated Netaudio lover. We enjoyed our deep trip into the jungle of London. Thank you, Andi, Chris, Dimitris, Hanna, Jon, Matt and Nina X for inviting us!

Last not least it was the music, which made me drift away and all those discoveries I made. And honestly: I listened to more excellent creative commons music than ever before. Thanks to you, the artists and netlabels. Thank you in the first place for an incredible Netaudio Year 2008! My charts reflect only a small part of the glamour, I was able to enjoy together with our readers!"

Happy Christmas Time, Yours mo.

Actually, there is a rather big amount of Westcoast-Pop within this tiny EP. "My Blue Plane", the last of the four tunes, brings forth a strong Beach Boys flavor, dressed in an introvert shoegaze outfit. Simon & Garfunkel came to my mind, too. You can't beat beauty, that's a fact, no matter how many generations passed! Make sure to catch all the little noise, flutes, guitar and vocal-layers... stunning, ethereal.

But there are three more songs to be heard. The opener "Playful Day" is a Animal Collective-style meditation on delay and reverberated clusters of guitar, just fine. "Only Star" comes off as a surprising mixture of smooth Jazz-vocals (Japanes language), chamber Pop and loose snippets of rhythm. The violin introduced here is more prominent deployed in the third tune "Orange". A sweet and innocent Pop-song with melodica, strings and fine guitars-noise in the back, super.

The haunting artwork was done by Ryoko Uchida (no infos though...).

Music for the open-minded | We don't care about genres! Of course, we cultivate our preferences like everyone. But we try to stay open-minded as possible as we can. Convinced that the only way to discover new worlds is to share, to communicate and to listen to each other, we proudly present you the third edition of our Phlow-Netlabel-Serie. We dived into the deep ocean of free music and came back with this adventurous compilation. Explore with us music from all over the globe, from Indie-Pop to Techno to Drum'n'Bass to Ambient.

mo.'s little note

Soto was the brightest discovery for me in March. While fumbling around with my telescope to discover new electronic music, Sven published his wonderful discovery. The pop-group from Japan sneaked directly into my heart and that's why Soto had to be the hugging brace for our third Best-Of-Netlabels-compilation.

As always we tried hard to combine the most impressive music-moments to one phlowtin' music-sampler. I hope you enjoy the diversity of sounds... And if you do so: Smile back and leave a note on the websites of your favorite musicians! They're thirsty for feedback, so why not saying: Thank you for your music!

Greets from Cologne/Germany, Yours mo.

Information about the Cover-Artwork

The artwork was composed by mo. But the main respect goes to the photographer Taro Taylor who shot this amazing photo. You find Taro's portfolio on flickr.com. Fortunately he released his colourful shot under a creative commons. And this is what Taro Taylor tells us on flickr about himself:

I'm a 29 year old who has been living in London for 7 years. Ethnically, I'm a total mongrel!! I was born in Hong Kong to a Japanese mum and an English dad. I lived there for 14 years and have lived in England for 14 years. In October I moved to Australia. I've been photographing on and off for 3 years, but now that I have made the digital leap, I find it a lot easier to be more regular.
