Radio Retaliation is definitely a more overt political statement," says Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation. "There’s no excuse for not speaking out at this point, with the suspension of habeas corpus, outsourced torture, illegal wars of aggression, fuel, food, and economic crises. It’s hard to close your eyes and sleep while the world is burning around you. If you are an artist, this is the most essential time to speak up.” So that’s exactly what they do with their new album.
Once again… back is the incredible! Here we have another excellent netBloc release for you. It’s always a pleasure to bring you this monthly collection. This month we’ve got music from Basque, US, France, Russian Federation, Netherlands, Poland, UK and Canada. The music included is as always quite varied... trip-hop, rock, indie folk, hip-hop, indie pop and pure electronica. If you enjoy this collection... please burn a copy... burn a few copies if you’d like. Give them to friends.

Beats Play Free (BPF) is an informal platform for promotion of free and free-of-charge music, published according to Creative Commons licences. It started out as a blog, and then evolved into cheerful night events with DJ sets and live acts at different locations in Portugal; it has created a podcast – still in an intermittent phase – and is now making its debut in the release of music compilations.
BPF is also a reunion of several people, from national netlabel creators to musicians and producers, amongst radio broadcasters, bloggers and free-music activists. Different people with different stories and a broad variety of tastes and interests, coming together under a single cause: free music.
On a regular basis, following the four seasons of the year (Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer), BPF will release a compilation assembling the music choices of its members.
The name of each release will always be of the corresponding season, every time in a different language. This first compilation is titled осень (the Russian word for Fall).
“осень” compiles 19 suggestions ranging from older, and somewhat "historic", themes up to some new tracks, fresh out the oven, from electronica to rock, through indietronica, experimental or dub, not only from Portuguese netlabels but also from netlabels around the world. It includes songs and instrumental pieces, as well as local and foreign artists. And it even includes two unreleased tracks.
“осень” reflects the members of this platform’s diversity of experiences and plurality of tastes. In “осень” one can still feel some warm sun, but some raindrops are falling down; one can already feel a chilly wind blowing, ripping the leaves off the trees; it still wears cotton, but it goes around with wool around the neck; it is still colourful, but the shades of grey are settling in. And many of the sound landscapes we will encounter here already carry the melancholic spirit befitting this time of the year, when days become shorter and nights grow long.
Welcome to "Осень"! We truly hope you enjoy it!

O Beats Play Free (BPF) é uma plataforma informal de divulgação da música livre e gratuita editada segundo licenças Creative Commons. Começou como blog, passou a organizar noites animadas por DJ sets e live acts por esse pais fora, criou um podcast - ainda em fase intermitente, e agora estreia-se na edição de colectâneas musicais.
Dele fazem parte vários elementos, desde responsáveis por netlabels nacionais, a músicos e produtores, passando por radialistas, bloggers e activistas da cultura livre. Pessoas diferentes, com histórias distintas e gostos diversos, unidas por uma causa: a música livre.
Sazonalmente, correspondendo a cada uma das estações (Outono/Inverno/Primavera /Verão) do ano, o BPF irá editar uma colectânea reunindo as escolhas musicais dos seus membros.
O nome da colectânea será sempre o da respectiva estação, de cada uma das vezes em diferentes línguas. Esta primeira edição tem o título осень (Outono em russo).
“осень” reúne 19 sugestões, que vão desde temas mais antigos e com alguma história até outros acabadinhos de sair do forno, da electrónica, ao rock, passando pela indietronica, pelo experimentalismo ou pelo dub, de netlabels nacionais e de outras sediadas nos quatro cantos do mundo, cantados e instrumentais, de produção nacional ou não, incluindo, até, dois temaa inéditos.
“осень”, reflecte a diversidade de experiências e a pluralidade de gostos dos membros desta plataforma. Em “осень” ainda brilham alguns raios de sol, mas já caiem uns pingos de chuva, e já se ouve o vento soprar com alguma intensidade, arrancando as folhas das árvores; ainda se veste algodão, mas já se anda com a lã a tiracolo; ainda há alguma cor mas os tons cinzentos ganham espaço; e muitas das paisagens sonoras propostas já carregam muita da melancolia própria desta estação do ano em que os dias encolhem e as noites crescem.
Bem-vindos a “осень”! Esperamos que gostem!

Maximilian Lopp has been active in producing music professionally since 1992. In his early years he was very active in producing HipHop with local crews in the Frankfurt region. As he found it increasingly difficult to identify with some people in that genre he re-focussed on trip-hop and clubmusic. Luckily for him the mid-nineties saw the awakening of Drum'n'bass in earnest. Maximilian developed his own approach to electronic music by primarily mixing elements of these three directions. He kicked off the project Blackfish with his first release on the Inside 02 compilation (Poets Club Records). Successful,and busy years followed. Maximilian produced Blackfish's first longplayer Pole Navigation (2001), did Remixes for Compost records , Poets club records and Wohnton (2002). He produced exclusive tracks for companies outside the usual music business, e.g. for the synthesizer giant Waldorf, which released the Zeitlos-Compialtion as a give-away-CD for the Namm-Trade in Chicago 2002. With his partner in music Andi, the other person behind Blackfish, he worked on the second album:“Hidden Shore” was released in 2004 on maxelect records/Edel. In his solo project Maximilian focuses on earthy beats with a jazzy feeling. These beats are sometimes down-,sometimes uptempo but always create a warm and expressive atmosphere. It is hard to describe ML's music in a nutshell – just go and listen for yourself. You will find his tracks on the globally distributed Flooristik 2 and the Down to alpha.earth , samplers. The EP “Rejection” on his own label Blackfish productions marked the beginning of a successful series of EP's bringing Maximilian worldwide recognition and air play on big radio stations. His track ‘slow mo' entered several chill-out-charts around the world, i.e. beatport, i-tunes and trackitdown. His current tracks are published by the hamburg based company Freibank. And – of course – new tracks are in the pipeline. Stay tuned for any news about Maximilian Lopp !
Ya tenia hablado no MrCool Café del netAudio Barcelona 2008 pero nunca es de mas.
Por fin tenemos a la vuelta de la esquina netAudio Barcelona 2008 - Looking Forward -
El lema “looking forward” indica que queremos mirar hacia delante, escudriñar el futuro y adelantarnos a lo que nos viene.Este año hemos realizado un especial esfuerzo a la hora de programar unas conferencias, que prometen muy interesantes.
El viernes, una clase magistral de ‘Mo’ Sauer (phlow.de) imprescindible no sólo para para músicos y netlabeleros, sino para cualquiera con voluntad de usar la web para difundir su producto. En el taller nos dará las claves de una buena autopromoción mediante internet. Le seguirá la charla debate entre bloggers, especialistas en redes sociales y músicos desarollada por Adolfo Estalella, Carlos Mantero y Defunkid (La Mundial).
Ese mismo viernes por la noche, tendremos la fiesta netAudio, un encuentro más relajado y libre para charlar, encontrar y discutir sobre el mundo de la música e internet con los organizadores, ponentes, colaboradores y todas las personas de este mundillo. Además tendremos pequeños conciertos de artistas de la talla de Alex Martin y sesiones de música de netlabels.
El sábado, dos conferencias más: la primera, tecnológica, con miembros del BMAT y del MTG (Music Tecnology Group de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra), en la que realmente nos dará la impresión de que entramos en un innovador futuro en el que el sonido es el protagonista. La segunda, interesantísima, con miembros de EXGAE, Safe Creative y Creative Commons; quizá pilares de los movimientos de cultura libre y colaborativa.
Y como dice nuestro amigo Applejux, todo por el mismo precio por el que Google ofrece sus servicios…. Es decir, gratis…. ( ¡¡por la patilla!! ).
Teneis más información en esta página o en la nota de prensa.
Desde há cinco anos que o conhecido fabricante francês de automóveis organiza um concurso de design internacional destinado a encontrar soluções de mobilidade para o futuro, cujo lema tem sido "imagine um Peugeot nas grandes cidades do futuro em todo o mundo".

Al principio sólo era un pequeño volumen que el autor, James Redfield, publicó por su cuenta y riesgo. Muy pronto, sin embargo, se hablaba de Las Nueve Revelaciones como del libro que cambiaría nuestra visión acerca del destino humano. Una década más tarde se han vendido casi seis millones de ejemplares en treinta y dos países.
La historia habla de un antiguo manuscrito, escondido en la selva peruana, que guarda en sus páginas nueve revelaciones esenciales para comprender el presente y el futuro. La búsqueda de ese texto supone un gran esfuerzo no exento de riesgos, pero la tenacidad de un reducido y aventurero grupo de sabios pondrá al alcance de todos un mensaje simple y directo que apunta a nuestra espiritualidad y abre un nuevo capítulo en nuestras vidas.

El T-Shirt Festival nace con la aspiración de ser uno de los acontecimientos musicales de referencia en el panorama nacional.
En su primera edición reunirá a los representantes internacionales más relevantes de la música electrónica y house.
Las dimensiones y las extraordinarias características de su sede, el Centro de Eventos de Feria Valencia, y su ubicación, en plena costa mediterránea, convertirán el T-Shirt en una de las experiencias más intensas para los amantes de la música electrónica.
Durante dos días la ciudad de Valencia concentrará el mayor número de disjokeys en un mismo recinto para dar forma al T-Shirt y poner el punto final al verano.
En el corazón de la Comunitat Valenciana, la renovada y reinventada ciudad de Valencia, dispone de todo lo necesario para que el T-Shirt Festival sobrepase el estatus de festival y logre convertirse en una experiencia única donde el mar, la música y la interacción dejen huella en cada uno de los asistentes.
Durante dos días, el 19 y el 20 de septiembre, los asistentes se fundirán con los sonidos de la electrónica y el house, y despedirán el verano por todo lo alto, porque todo lo bueno llega a su fin.

“[...] Lejos de tratar de abarcar la totalidad de proyectos Netaudio que operan desde Madrid, se han seleccionado un total de 19 (vamos a llamarle “Guerreros Audio-Adictos”), que representan esa fuerza de la que hablamos en las líneas anteriores. Detrás de sus caras digitales y nombres artísticos aparecen personas, representantes. Todas ellas elevadas a la categoría de protagonistas de una corriente que ha contribuido a ese cambio de paradigma cultural que es ya una realidad. Ellos no han sido ni son corderitos, afortunadamente. Larga vida a los sonantes. [...]“

Transient (Miasmah, Camomille) and Violent Public Disorderaz (Dusted Wax) teamed up and collaborated on this special release here on Fant00m. 4 songs out of one track that Transient made back in 1999 with (for the geeks) Modplucker Software. VPD has a thing for lofi jazzy electronika and fell in love with the 1999 track. Now almost 10 years later Transient works in a whole different way, which can be heard clearly on this release

Planet Boelex & Lisa’s Antenna - Little world [sfp01]
“The days are slowly becoming shorter, the leafs on the trees begin to change their colour, the weather is getting colder, the autumn is approaching. We welcome you to the world of Soft Phase netlabel with our first release, which is a collaboration between two northern artists, Planet Boelex and Lisa’s antenna. The former you might know from the past releases on Monotonik and Kahvi Collective, and we’d suspect you might learn something about Lisa while listening to these songs. Enter Little World, journey into the mysterious sound universe full of soft and sensitive vocals, lyrics that’ll tell you little stories, backed up by the floating melodic atmospheres you’ve grown to expect from Planet Boelex. Perfect for taking with you, while walking in the misty autumn evening, watching the nature silently preparing for the coldness of the winter. Get yourself a nice cup of tea, sit comfortably and let Little World’s songs surround you with warmth and emotion.”

Artist: Various Artists
Title: Un Baño Del Sol De Ibiza 2008
Label: Mole Listenning Pearls
There could be no summer on Ibiza without new and exclusive tracks from Mole Listening Pearls. The Artists from the label translated again their visions of relaxing, Holidays, Beaches beyond the sea into perfect music. Mole Listening Pearls has always been crossing the borders without losing its distinctive identity. Mole is unbound to defined styles and outer limits being pigeonholed at all.
The established Mole artists like Naomi, Yonderboi, nor elle, Alphawezen, beyond new faces on the label like Ohm Square, Robert Manos and Dadamnphreaknoizphunk, create an acoustic mosaic which is constantly reassembled but always remains recognisable. A paradox: although there is no typical Mole sound, you can immediately feel and sense the sound of Mole. The resolution to this paradox is anchored in the label´s core ideas and the mission of the Mole artists. The mission of the artists can be found in their music with the music being their message.
The core ideas of Mole include the determined willingness to foster its artists and to provide them with time and space to develop their message.

Imagine pegar um outdoor e diminuí-lo para a ridícula proporção de 35 x 15 cm. Pois foi isto que a EA (Electronic Arts) fez em plena Union Square em São Francisco nos Estados Unidos. Para divulgar o Spore, conjunto de jogos que cria universos pessoais baseados no princípio da evolução das espécies, foi instalada uma pequena placa publicitária no alto de um prédio. Mas e para enxergá-la?! A resposta: instalando um telescópio voltado diretamente para o mini-outdoor! Criativo, inusitado e completamente diferente do usual, eles têm conseguido atrair centenas e centenas de curiosos diariamente e chamar ainda mais atenção para o seu produto. Isto gera mais publicidade, principalmente a gratuita, em releases e comentários que se espalham no boca a boca e pela internet. Prova disto, é este post, que divulga a incrível idéia do outdoor do Spore, sem ter ganho nada com isto. Ponto para a criatividade! Ponto para a publicidade!

Introducción
Mientras una parte de la indústria discográfica intenta adaptarse a una nueva realidad, hay una pequeña parte de la indústria que hace años que ha roto con los modelos convencionales. Este fragmento tiene muy claro como es el presente, como ha cambiado y como actuar en consecuencia. Los medios generalistas hablan de una emergente democratización de la cultura gracias a Internet y las nuevas tecnologías. Esta transformación pide nuevas actitudes, tanto para los consumidores como para los creadores. netAudio Barcelona 2008 son unas jornadas para descubrir como es este nuevo panorama, que nos ofrece y como podemos aprovecharnos de sus características. Todo esto por el mismo precio que Google ofrece sus servicios.
Estoy escuchando, ahora, la ultima obra prima del Señor Stéphane Pompougnac. Pro supuesto hablo del Hotel Costes 11. Words? For what? y punto.

Musica Sota Els Estells
Estamos en 1969. Un hombre de treinta y dos años decide emprender un largo viaje a Oriente para buscar allí la sabiduría, la embriaguez, la espiritualidad y la felicidad que Occidente le niega. Deja a sus espaldas, esperándole en la penumbra de una ciudad de provincias, a la mujer con la que ha compartido todos los sueños y las desiluciones de la Década Prodigiosa. El viajero recorre Turquía, Irán, Paquistán, la India, Nepal, Indonesia, Vietnam y Afganistán. Poco a poco -de lance a lance, de encuentro en encontronazo- su personalidad se transforma. Al mismo tiempo, como falsilla, envoltorio y columna vertebral de este viaje "al fondo de los desconocido para encontrar lo nuevo", Cristina (o Penélope) teje y desteje su incesante trama de amor y desamor con Dionisio (o Ulises). Pero es, como de costumbre, el Destino quien dice la última y sorprendente palabra de esta odisea de nuestro tiempo.

With Lemongrass one of the most persistent artists in the soundworlds between Downbeat, Trip-Hop, Nu-Jazz and Drum & Bass grow up a whole decade long. Nearly any Compilation with the finest lounge sound features one of his tracks. The double album “Beach Affairs” offers a detailed overview on the work of Lemongrass on 2CDs: The Highlights of the late albums on Mole Listening Pearls and the very own label of the Voss brothers: Lemongrassmusic.
In spring 1999 Lemongrass has his debut on Mole Listening Pearls: The album "Lumière Obscure" is praised by the press as a “charming compliment to the need of harmony nestling to the couch in the evening and calling after sugar for the ears. …” In 2000 Roland Voss presents the consequent development of his style with “Voyage au centre de la terre". With “Windows” the next feel-good-album follows already in February 2001. Roland Voss stays loyal to himself with his next longplayer “Skydiver”, too and presents mellow vibes, underlayed with big slow-motion-beats. On “Skydiver” he creates weightless rooms of sound, that can only be designed by Lemongrass.
His 6th CD he names “Fleur Solaire“ – sunflower in english – that is released in october 2004 – a title that undertakes. Who put “Fleur Solaire” in the player will see a field of sunflowers whose blossoms are searching the sun like the mirrors of solar cells, constantly following its course to absorb all the energy.
In 2005 the 7th Lemongrass album “Ikebana” follows, that is, at the same time, the first CD on the own label Lemongrassmusic. 2007 the wonderful work “Filmothèque” follows up and with the album "Pour L'Amour" he makes the feat to hold the quality on the level of his previous albums, but to create something new, too. Allowed to love and an enchanting consumption to the ears.
