Links \ Netlabels

Please note that below I use a word "netlabel" in a very broad sense, as a company offering legally online downloads of full albums. Not necessarily free, but always non-evil. iTurds and the like do not qualify.

My other blog, where I present a selection of interesting (in my opinion) short films.

The ultimate source of carefully selected artistic music videos. The author of this blog has an exquisite taste for music video art. You may not like a particular song, but you'll surely appreciate the picture.


Netlabels



49manekinow
49manekinów is a Polish netlabel designed to promote alternative electronica and experimental video arts. All of their releases are non-profit and free to download under Creative Commons license. They welcome artists to contact them if they are interested in collaboration.



Absys Records is a Dublin based label that specializes in deep, futuristic and atmospheric Drum & Bass music.


Bloody Fist Records
Bloody Fist Records was an independent record label based in Newcastle, Australia.

Bloody Fist was one of the most prolific labels involved in hardcore/gabber, industrial, breaks, noise, and related genres. Founded by Nasenbluten's Mark Newlands (formerly known as Stigs/TDU) in 1994 as a platform for local artists, the label initially began distributing cassettes and moved on to become a major label in the hardcore techno scene.


This is not a netlabel, but some of their releases are officially available online on their Bandcamp website.


Ekleipsi
Ekleipsi is a non-commercial Net Label based in Milan, Italy. The label was founded in March 2007 with the aim to provide independent dark music, free to listen and download.

Ekleipsi is now defunct with its releases archived by archive.org.


Estrada Nagrania
Estrada Nagrania is a Polish netlabel focused on Polish pop and jazz music from the 70s as well as contemporary electronica influenced by that period.


iD.EOLOGY
iD is for identity. iD.EOLOGY is a platform for identities. For iD.EOLOGY supplies artists with an iD in order to offer them a spot of their own within virtual space, an opportunity to publish their material. That's why our label strives to create a network, a communication-facility for musicians, graphics-artists, designers, lyricists, listeners and viewers. Simultaneously, the label is a display, offering free access to artistic content, sorted by iDs.

These people are not only forming the label but, more importantly, keep redefining its looks, its sound and its identity with their output. That's how iD.EOLOGY stays flexible and in the flow.


Jamendo
Jamendo is not exactly a netlabel, but rather a self-publishing platform for musicians:

Jamendo is a community of free, legal and unlimited music published under Creative Commons licenses.
Share your music, download your favorite artists!

Do not call them a netlabel. They hate that. They say they like to be called "mail-order". They just distribute some albums online and that's all.
