Markus Scholz
The concept and idea behind Netlabelism was to start a page as a filter for the rapid growing amount of netaudio music. And also to establish a landing page for all those how never had contact with free music before. So I started Netlabelism back in 2010. And I’m still happy I did it! Welcome to our world of netaudio music.

Simon Van Bockstal
Simon Van Bockstal, or Hushfield, is based in Ghent, Belgium. He is a freelance reviewer and musician (previously known as ‘The Quiet Orchestra’ and ‘Droidmusik’) raised on a diet of moody ambient and glitchy beats. A turntable with Chopin records and a drumcomputer are his idea of starting a party. He spends most of his time locked in the attic with cables, knobs and netlabel culture.

More recently he has collaborated with Feedback Loop Netlabel in writing liner notes for releases and curating a regular podcast showcasing the world of netlabel music.

Andy Farina
Andy lives in Edinburgh, Scotland and created the Unique Beats Festival of Electronica which gives UK electronica musicians a stage as well as bringing together some of the worlds largest music tech companies (Ableton, Roland, Propellorheads etc.) to show off their new gear and give workshops. Andy dreams of one day being a good enough producer to get on stage at one of his own events but until then he is “happy to judge other peoples hard work and skill instead”.
When not involved with Unique Beats’ podcasts, website or events he can often be found rewatching Back to the Future 2 on repeat to try and work out how the hoverboards work – according to the film they should be a reality by 2015 and he is determined to be the first to make one. So far his experiments with electronic magnets and his old skateboard have not gone well.

Dan Auty
Dan is based in London, UK, and is a writer, web developer and musician. He records as The Death Bazooka and as a film journalist contributes to a number of movie sites as well as co-hosting the popular Mondo Movie podcast. He discovered the netaudio scene in early 2010 and since then has been a devoted listener, devouring as much strange and wonderful music as time allows. If he’s not expanding his mind with ear-melting Ukranian jazz-metal, you’ll probably find him watching some obscure Italian horror movie from the 1970s. Or possibly both at the same time.
