This blog starts with news about the electrobel newsletter. Starting with this month's edition, I will write the electrobel newsletter from now on, in cooperation with Zark. We will try to promote every event including Electrobel artists, VJ crews and so on. This also opens the door to some cross-promotion with Netlabelism.

Electrobel.it proudly presents its official compilation "Electrobel.it's 130", that gathers 14 mixed tracks signed by several artists from the Italian electro-dancefloor scene. The mix, that has been split in tracks, is complete with artwork and printable CD graphic. Electrobel.it thanks Zark, Electrobel.netlabel, IceSun, Silvano Baccoli, Radiolitica, Creative Commons, artists for their awesome support and LaMar Art Studio for the graphic design. The word is out !!!!

Electrobel artist Despoilah just released his first internet release on Kapotte Radio Records ... It’s a full album entitled ‘Pleasure and Pain‘. An energetic album, in real Despo – style, meaning hard beats, hypnotising rhytms with a sauce of distortion, but still with room for some sensitive input ... Give your support to our talented breakcore wizard and download this release NOW, you won’t regret it ...

To wrap this edition up, another interesting release is announced :
Taxidermists' LP "Seconde Peau" is on line for you to download. It contains 14 tracks (192 kbps VBR HQ). The mp3 files are fully tagged (title, artist, style, number and an image for each track). It is divided in two zip files, one for each side of the LP.
Download side A.
Download side B.

This concludes the second blog here on Netlabelism, you can expect part 3 in a week or 2 ...

Zymogen and 12rec. have released the remix album of Crepusculum's "Sky Diaries", called "Sky Diary Edits". Netwaves interviewed Fred Baty a.k.a. Crepusculum and Sven Swift from 12rec. about this album in Netwaves 33.
You can download the album, or buy an extended version.

De rubrieken "literature" en "about" zijn aangevuld met een beschouwend artikel over CC en netlabels: "Creative Commons: wat Veto en Scorpio verbindt: Gratis verkoopt goed", geschreven door Toon Van Hal van onze eigenste Netwaves en geredigeerd door Robby Vangeel van het studentenweekblad Veto. Gebruik dit artikel gerust voor je eigen tijdschrift, website, eindwerk, behangpapier, ... maar vermeld wel de auteurs en de licentie 'Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License'.

nog een knappe nederlandstalige muzieksite gevonden: homerecording.be. Ze omschrijven zichzelf als: "Community voor muzikanten die onafhankelijk hun eigen muziek produceren in een homestudio. Nederlandstalige info over geluidstechnieken, audio-gear nieuws, freeware audio-tools, een forum en links naar al wat met homerecording verband houdt." Binnenkort (juli) komt er een compilatiealbum uit met werk van homerecording.be artiesten.
Wat de site interessant maakt, is dat ze op een eenvoudige manier uitlegt hoe je een CC-licentie aanvraagt. Het artikel is geschreven door 'Art of Empathy', die recent het bekorende album 'Evening Sessions' heeft uitgebracht op het Italiaanse dark-wave netlabel Ekleipsi.

The Smashing pumpkins bring out 4 cd's with on every cd 2 different tracks. If you want all their new music you have to buy 4 cd's. Now you have a reason to listen to netwaves and netlabels, where the music is free ànd good. The last Netwaves (034) of this season contains an interview with Happy Elf (Dutchman Jeroen Elfferich) and lots of new netlabelreleases. We will be back in the Scorpio-summershow and of course as Netwaves next season. Thx for listening...
