The good. The bad. The recommended. The stuggle through loads of medicore (euphemism) music is an internet user`s daily bread. But, there are exceptions. Here`s a list of my exceptions. The best sites that I try to visit regularly, and that keep up the standard. (site down at the moment, mostly ambient-dub-minimal stuff) [Fernando Lagreca - Nadador (!), Marsen Yules - Yara, The Crossways compilation]. (drones, only for hardcore ambienters :-)) [Kazumichi Grime - Mu] (generally pleasant tunes) [Slem - Lampjuice EP] (some tasty beats here and there) [Filaria - Beat Negg EP, BEW - Teeth Like Medieval Ruins] (from ambient to almost noise, drill releases) [In Broken Key - Autumn Birth LP (!), AWT - Winter and Spring, Plantre - Tunnel of a centillion millipede legs EP] (very diversified sound) [ Authist & Dub One! - Dub Illusions, Sudio - Current tredns in neural science] (even more varied, lots of ambient, but also acid-d`n`b releases) [Mike Verde - Hypocenter (!)] (sthe softer side of electronica) [reinArt - EP01, Omnious Cloud - EP1, Pete Farn - Windspiele] (mostly ambient/experimental) [Turner of Wheels - Misses the Coctail Party, Nuthre - Vis de Mechanique] (I don`t really now how to define their sound, but it`s very good) [Intelligent Toys 1&2 are class!] Maybe some of you will find it useful.

check out for the variety of net-labeling..... |

It`s a jungle out there! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
my usual recomendation: s mp3 catalogue - for those who like some weird muziek |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
woaah, looks brilliant, thanks!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm don't know if this fits (because no netlabel) but quite many releases of experimetel music from Hymen, accelmuzhik, ambush, irritant and much much more..... |
||||||||
|

I know Earstroke, and heard some of it`s music, but was not especially captivated... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still don't have all of that, pity... only two albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You mean the official CD releases? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, two from mp3 catalogue - polyvox populi and zavoloka "suzpenzia", and kotra acute but this doesn't count cause full version is not free. i have several nexsound CD releases - payed money for them, how strange. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listening to zavoloka right now (sounds disturbing and soothing at the same time), tirrididliu was great, DARK ambient... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
be sure to LOUDLY check track called the bridge from Kotra - Acute. Was my personal number one hit for several weeks:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A true hit single! Shhhshshshshshshshbbzbzbsbsbssssssssshhhhhhh |
||||||||
|
|

|

gotta plug my shit of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

That`s more like it. Another AWT release!! Thanks mate! |
||||||||

This has to be one of the best threds on this message board alone. YABBAI! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
is pretty reliable... I am suprised they don't get their name dropped as much. Lots of people like machine drum, md, and ilkae still publish their stuff here. |

over at we're in our 3 volume of mp3 (only) release reviews in the BITFLASHING column:: includes:: AZ_Rotator, Bad Loop, Aidan Baker, Biosphere, Jack Haberfield, Cordell Klier, Konsumprodukt, Arturas Bumsteinas, Audio_z, Kolibries, Lomov, Partikel, Transient, Antiguo Autómata Mexicano, Cisfinitum, a compilation released by Designed Disorder, Makunouchi Bento, Mothboy and Underscore... -- -- -- we also published an Online Music Feature specifically related to net.labels back in february:: -- hope you enjoy, pietro. editor@ |

Net label added to the list. Drone, experimental, noise, field recordings etc. Features the legendary V. duo, and New Carrollton. Check out from 1986 (!) . This is some weird shit, somehow very enjoyable. Also -1348-, Violet, Kotra, and more... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of all of the net labels out there, I still feel Bedroom Research and Sutemos have released the most quality product sounding like what could otherwise be paid for. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Many genres. Something is great (ponas and oyvinto) and something is less good... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, highly recommended as their debut release, compilation featuring richard devine, rd, deru, anon, tipper, lusine et al: definitely looking forward to their next releases... p. |
||||||||
|

|
thanks, _gvarek_ - some unknown netlabels for me there. this is what xltronic should be about... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(mostly d`n`b, altogether music with an optimistic feel) [Kungfoo - Delays] (divided in sub-groups: ambient/breaks/techno/mixes) (big German label with a very various sound, mostly ambient, minimal techno, clicks etc...) [Nq - Numbers of nothing, Trickform - Goomeda EP, Xenoton - Lifeforms] |

Big thanks for all who contributed to this thread! |

avart, i totally agree with you on your point above.. let's keep it to the music. p. |

_gvarek_ thanks for the name drop on my ep, but the album i'm working on will be even "more dope." oh and you should give earstroke another chance, there is some killer stuff coming up after the redesign/second site launch. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Aaah, plantre my mastah! I simply love the Suction Cups song!! I play it over and over again! My question: is this piece the only one on the EP you plan to release on Earstroke? Where can I find more Suction Cups? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you link us up with some more of your stuff? |
||||||||

this new carrollton album is great - everyone should check this out. thanks for the link! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Very good two releases on Acedia Music recently: Kungfoo's second EP "2rd", and a mix set "Collaps II" from Moscow artist Scan-Tec. Great electronica-ambient vibes with fresh melodies and a clean production. High class. . Also for the hardcorers, Brian Grainger's (Milieu) new noise-only release on Experimedia. Under the Vhom moniker: . Good release on Conv; self entitled album. Spacey drones and smooth ambient coldness. Night listening. Check them out if you like. |

hey, cheers for this, much appreciated :) |

pietro, is there a low-volume mailing list where you announce your show before it's on, assuming it's still happening? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I like everything that I've heard from modex, musically. His label is tefosav, though he's provided for binkcrsh, too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have found loads of good tracks from this lot, well worth a look. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A small update: New release on Thinner/Autoplate. . Minimal&funky vibes, great production and the title track is a potential hit. Swingin'. Two interesting things that I've found @Boltfish (thanks KADO!). ("Pachinko", another great stand-alone track). . Both contain melancholic and very melodious pieces done with great sensitivity. A Kahvi release: which fits perfectly into this label's profile, but this time with a surprisingly high commercial value. Warning: cheese factor high (!!), but worth checking. The track "Lost&Desperation" is something you don't come across often among net labels. (Another potential hit-single, this time somewhat Vangelis-like). Monohm's fifth release on self-named label. . Minimal, textures, drones, rythm; enough said. Big release from Kikapu. Compilaton: . Various electronica, ranging from ambient to experimental, highly undefinable, very good. |
||||||||

After a long break a new compilation on Sutemos, a Lithuanian label, one of the best around. This time it's called . Fourteen calm and laid-back tunes ranging from post rock to ambient (more vocal work this time). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
On Realaudio.ch. Ambient with feeling. On Zeromoon. Clicks & drones. High quality, two long pieces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

planear.org - good label if you want to find some folks from xlt. far from showbiz - noise, industrial, crazy stuff |

Just a small release from "-N" - surprisingly enjoyable. |

wow, i know that one. |

The only ones I like are Micromusic.net and 8bitpeoples.com |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
did you check nexsound, for example? though they are a usual label more then a net one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A very, very cool little release from One. . Debuting Estonian artist. Dub, IDM, ambient. Classy. |
