Demoscene meets Phlow | Right between July and August the demoscene party Evoke 2009 took place in the beautiful city of Cologne. That's where I met Juergen Beck, demoscene enthusiast and music lover. He asked me for a cooperation and all I had to do, was to dig into our music archive to find some really stunning creative commons music and of course some 8-bit-music-gems to please the demosceners. The mix was done by Vincenzo who combined the different styles together. Delicious!

Bitfellas Podcast meets Phlow (MP3)

In the last two years I more and more discovered, that cooperations between like-minded are the best elixir to make magic moments happen. And you have to meet them in reality. Since two years now, I rock this magazine together with Sven Swift. And it's pure fun. This year a team of creative comons freaks rocked our city with Cologne Commons. And now you can discover with me another of this fantastic moments. Listen to the excellent and with love crafted BitFellas Podcast. And don't miss to grab their Podcast Feed.

I just handed over some of my favorites to Juergen after our talk. I discovered these tracks in the last years while digging archive.org, scene.org and all those netlabels. And someone else mixed these tracks and I just can say: Perfect! I would never had done it in this way. And this is the magic, you discover new ways on looking, listening and so on...

And one more thang: I am jealous, when I see these beautiful graphics they did for the show. And the podcast logo is amazing! Space Invaders forever!

PS: You find also a cue-file for the the mp3 to cut it in peaces, but I would rather not. The mix by Vincenzo is perfect as it is.

Interview at Netaudio London 2008 | Really good Hip Hop Music is still hard to find in the creative commons world of music. If you search for netlabels promoting deep Hip Hop Music you have to stick to a baby-handful of netlabels. But there's a glowing light at the end of the tunnel. This torch is held by Filippo Aldovini from Zymogen Netlabel and well-known Sven Swift.

Podcast Show: "Talkin’bout Beats with Error Broadcast" (MP3)

Both music nerds teamed up to stem a heavy-weight bassloaded netlabel called Error-Broadcast for Instrumental Hip Hop. At Netaudio London 2008 they gave the party crowd a first listen, distributed some exclusive Promo-CDs and were caught by mo. to speak out loud into the microphone. Enjoy a Podcast-Radio-Show with an exclusive track from the upcoming Error Broadcast Compilation which gives you a glimpse how deep Error Broadcast digs into the ground.

The track in the podcast was produced by ComFormat called "Rock da Dam!!!" and will be followed by other extraordinary musicians like Apes on Tapes, The Great Mundane, Comfort Fit or B-Ju,

But then we entered through the backstage door, prepared everything and started into a fascinating evening full of culture. But listen up, here comes the podcast with Sim Sullen, Sven Swift and mo.

A Passionate Podcaster with no Boundaries

mo. — Wed, 14 May 2008 03:00:53 +0000

Free Music Digger | With his Podcast called "Machtdose" Podcaster Roland presents a treasure box full of the most terrific netlabel-music around. While fascinated hopping from country to country he presents music from all kind of genres. His Machtdose Show gives a damn about music-boundaries and leads you each time into new corners of the netlabel world. An interview with a Netaudio-Podcaster.

When did you make your first contact with the free music scene, especially netlabels? Do you remember the first release you downloaded?

I can't remember exactly but it must have been in 2003 or 2004 when I had discovered the (now dead) webjay.org site. On webjay you were able to create playlists with links to online available mp3's - and through playlists by other users I became aware of netlabels like Observatory, Tokyo Dawn and Bevlar (unfortunately all three aren't active anymore, last two are even down for a longer time now).

I then presented in my weblog ronsens a first playlist called sentimental journey in netaudio and that was the start of collecting netaudio tracks by myself. The next lists were then already published on Machtdose, a more music-centered weblog originally initiated by my friend Gregor. Some time later I went then to present the tracks in a podcast with moderation.

What drives you to dig especially into the world of netlabels?

Simple answer: the music. This is really what it is all about: the music and nothing else. If you visit a netlabel site you normally know exactly nothing about the presented tracks and artists. You just listen to their music - and then it's on your site to decide if you like it or not. There's no marketing strategy, no public image, no music critic who tries to take influence on that.

Next big point is that you have access to really international music which you wouldn't listen to otherwise, from artists all over the world - and not only the main markets. In our last episode we've had music from Bulgaria, Portugal, Germany, Russia, Indonesia, Hungary, Austria, the United States, Spain, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Canada and Argentinia - and it's like that month per month.

A lot of people claim that the netlabels are a bunch of amateurs. "They give their music away for free", they say, "because otherwise noone would buy their records." What would be your answer to such a statement?

Besides it isn't true and that there are enough examples of "professional" musicians who have released on netlabels?

Even if you agree that most netlabel artists won't earn any money with their work - what's wrong with that? Often enough it is for example a conscious decision not to follow any commercial logic - like the one which is basis of this statement: that commercial success is a serious indicator for the quality of music. I think most of us have made other experiences, just listen to top seller music charts and you know what I mean.

Last not least: if you take a look on the development of the music market and the fact that music is getting more and more an "immaterial" good with profound consequences for its distribution, you shouldn't be too snobby about netlabelism - on the contrary it will probably give you some hints of what could be possible future models for promoting music.
