Netwaves

Netwaves is a weekly radio program dedicated to netlabels/netaudio. Almost every episode features an interview with a netlabel artist, netlabel owner or somebody related to netlabels or Creative Commons. The program is Dutch spoken, the interviews are in English.

Their live broadcast is hosted by Radio Scorpio (FM106), the first independent radio in Belgium. The program is an initiative of Netlabelism, Jan, Toon, Didier, Elke, TransistorLab, Akwalek & embe. It is also archived by Archive.org.

Check their latest broadcast overhere. It features Sleep by Toxic Chicken (check esc.rec.19). The track gets a slightly confusing introduction (read: is announced as ‘Toxic’ by ‘Chicken Sleep’). Later on this mistake is corrected, but now esc.rec. is referred to as ‘esc.com’. After this esc.rec. gets nothing but praise, which more than makes up for a few minor mistakes!

Thank you Kai, for the tip. I am starting to realize that free music is harder to keep track of. It’s starting to surface everywhere now…  which is a good thing!

Poster hoax

It seems like MOMI and esc.rec. will be hosting a religious meeting in a very strict Genemuider chirch. With loads of interesting guest speakers… or so it says on this poster, designed by Berndz (De Bronstgieters). Too bad it isn’t true. It might actually have been quite an entertaining evening…

MOMI also picked up on this wonderful news of course. Read all about it (and check the poster!) overhere.

Roel Meelkop says:

Frans and I played a Zèbra set and two solo sets as GOEM and slo-fi on board the M.S. Stubnitz, moored in the Amsterdam docklands. Also on the bill that night were Rechenzentrum, who played a very good set. There were not so many people, but we had a good time. People on board are always very friendly. Here’s a recording of my slo-fi set.”
