Welcome to the first editorial ever on Netlabelism. First of all: Thanks to all of you for the positive feedback we received since our kick-off in 2010. It’s time to give a small update and some background information. We are up and running now for round about 4 months. Three compilations later we are looking back on lots of new and prosperous connections; and  of course we are looking forward to even more wonderful music being reviewed on our page.

In the near future we will be introducing some new features on our website in order to focus on more interactions  between users and authors.

But first of all there will be a Netlabelism showcase in Cologne city on January 18th and 21st – 22nd during ‘Passagen’ – the famous Interior Design Week taking place each year in Cologne. If you happen to be in town at this time; why don’t you show up at our venue to meet personally? We will be  offering a couple of Listening-Stations and a self developed Download-Station at our showroom to deliver the ‘best of Netaudio’ to the people. There will be also some lucid visuals & installations by Farbfundament; and some live acts and DJ performances., too!
To get detailed information  about our event, please go here. Or connect to the facebook event page. And please; don’t forget our monthly radio show on soulsender.de which will be aired on January 18th 2011. Hope to see you at our venue!

Last but not least: Bring your USB sticks in order to gather some rad and free music we offer at our Download Station!

4 Apr 2012

Bitbasic – Eer [ded032]

ded032-front

When longtime netlabelism contributor Simon Haycock mentioned it would probably be improper to review his latest Bitbasic release in the magazine, I decided to check it out anyway. Not only is he very modest, he also happens to be an excellent musician. Excellent in that he has managed to keep …

Before diving into this review let me just say what a wonderful thing it is to stumble upon an artist and enjoy their sound for the first time. Almost every time I go searching for a new netlabel release I have no idea what will be presented to me. It …

Various Artists – Choose Ur Way [Stasis010]

Upon checking my ever-growing RSS inbox of netlabel releases, I stumbled upon a release titled ‘Choose Ur Way’. Going from the spelling I quickly concluded that this probably wasn’t going to be all that good. “Oh, God. Another one of these hastily slapped-together dubstep slash drum and bass releases”, I …

On December 21st, 2011, Export Label gave birth to a new release: Blossom’s “Blue Balloons”. Though I should have had an eye out for this artist from his earlier work for Export Label, Blossom’s debut took me by surprise. “Blue Balloons” transported me back to some of my fondest memories …
