Net-Lab (www.net-lab.co.uk) is celebrating two years of bringing free, legally redistributable music to the world this mont (June). We have nearly 40 releases ranging from breakcore, noise and ambient through to dubstep and electro and lots more to come this year. Some names you might recognise include two EPs from Ital Tek (also Planet Mu Records, Square Records), one from Michael Manning (also AI Records), a mix and individual tracks from Chevron, The Teknoist, and lots more beyond that.

Its been a busy two years for us down here in Brighton, having had some part in the arrangement or running of a show here probably every month during that time, providing a lot of exposure for some of our artists.

We have lots of new forthcoming material… you’ll just have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on it!

Sutemos.net

http://www.sutemos.net/

DJ Walkman is one of the most active persons on the Lithuanian electronic scene.

Mostly known for being founder and runner of net-label sutemos.net. He is also a host of Sutemos Live gig series.

By breaking stereotypes of one-day projects Sutemos web site has become a symbol of idm and minimal music not only in Lithuania but also abroad.

From 2005  DJ Walkman has been spinning records together with the legend of chicago House - Johny Fiasco, Nightwares On Wax, Fluxion, Technical Itch, Rhythm & Sound.

He was also hosting and warming up in Sutemos Live event series such producers as Modeselektor, Apparat, Plaid, Monolake, SCSI9, Vladislav Delay,

Sutemos.net started as a Project to promote IDM/Experimental electronic music which was just coming into Lithuanian public back at that time.

At the beginning it was a solo project run only by one man (with some help from his friends as well). At this time it had new, reviews and articles. As the time went on some things changed - some people joined the team, some left it but finally Sutemos.net became a project of two guys - Sutemos and Walkman.

After some time we felt that writing reviews and articles meant not being close enough to our readers and people interested in electronic music.

So we decided to take a risk (because almost nobody did things like this) and started releasing music we loved.

We even didn’t know what and how to do it, but it was part of the fun as well.
Although our very first intended project was Intelligent Toys compilation, but it took us a lot of time to make it right, so the very first release of ours was 3tronik - k0ma pR0j3ct EP.

It gained much more feedback than we anticipated so we got motivated to do our next release even better.

For Sutemos.net QUALITY, not QUANTITY is all that matters.

It’s really amazing if consider the fact that it is only our hobby - we both have quiet good jobs and work on Sutemos.net only on spare time.

Acroplane has been around for about 2 years now, although its head-curator has been involved with running local net-labels for about 7 years. It started off just to provide an online outlet for Northern Irish musicians, but as the collective grew in popularity a lot of demos started coming in from all over the world, so the guys decided to develop the label into the more internationally relevant setup that you can see today.

Musically, anything goes. If they like it they’ll consider releasing it. You can contact them via their websites with demo submissions. A few artists on their roster that you may have heard of are Mad EP, Barry Lynn, Mothboy, Filaria and Ebola, but their roster is full of gems of upcoming and lesser known talent.

They also run parties and festivals in Northern Ireland as part of their Diston project. Guys that have performed with them before include Scorn, Yee-King, DMX Krew, Mike P, Vex’d, Surgeon, Clark and Michael Forshaw, among loadsa others. Over the next handful months you can check out DJ/Rupture, King Cannibal, The Bug + Warrior Queen and Mala in their various venues around Belfast.

Them Records

THEM Records is an independent netlabel based in absolutely-nowhere. We are a centerless collective exemplifying a nebulous electronic-music ideal. We have no agenda or manifesto, only a stream of releases that best speak for themselves.

Artist Descriptions:

Acidburp: Mike Walters is 27 and comes from Manchester, UK. He has been making Electronic music for about 8 years, and before that he was a drummer in a few bands. ~Acidburp makes his music in a Program called FLStudio aka Fruityloops. He takes influence from Artists such as Wisp, Mrs Jynx, Boards of Canada and from Bands like Arab Strap and Mogwai. He has had a few releases on some of Falty DL’s website and some on Badsekta, but recently had his first EP released on THEM records

Benefit of the Boomerang: What is the Benefit of the Boomerang? Holland’s most pretentious beatwork-a-holic Jordy Timmermans has been contaminating his broken form of dancemusic with theatrical energy and cinematic drama. Giving life to music you want to swing a samurai sword at, this Rotterdam born and bred producer combines intense beat manipulation with bombastic melodies, creating an entity he refers to as “dramacore”. This dramacore took him on a tour through Europe in 2007, on the “Who broke my Beats tour” in 2008 and will take Benefit of the Boomerang as far as Moscow this late summer, as he will perform at the “Dutch Punch Festival” in Russia. This music is like an openheart operation at thirteen degrees Kelvin: pretty cool.

Die Blutige Hand: behind DBH is a 28 year old German painter and musician who doesn’t believe in the official culture. He uses pseudonyms and wants the underground to be strong and intense. Our subculture must become a huge and gentle community for everyone who has stopped complaining and does what he thinks is good. He likes Tori Amos, Glenn Gould and R.D.James.

Alansmithee: hi. i make songs for fun. i hope you enjoy them…
ps: the violin did not end with gidon kremer and nor did 7/8 end with vsnares. deal with it homie, it’ll feel better afterwards

Lastrapink: Lastrapink grew up in Venezuela, and from an early age was into playing instruments and studying harmony with his music teacher Emilio Mendoza. He was impressed by the acid underground music that was brought to Venezuela from London so he decided to travel to the UK to learn English and to perform his own music in various UK parties and clubs. Soon after he made the jump to Berlin to work with people such as Phlex, Vertical 67 and the Hasenland krew, and to play alongside such luminaries as Plaid, Jega and Modeselektor at RockPaperScissor parties. Since then he has also been playing gigs under the name ‘Andromede’ with his partner Q Squared, playing at parties in the UK and Berlin. He is currently taking his acid sound to his home land of Venezuela by running his own events. The luminescence EP is a selection of tunes made in the Uk and South America; a unique combination of European acid and South American electro vibes.

Kallipolis: Kallipolis is 20 year old Eric Neil Johnson. He enjoys making music and eating anything tasty. He is inspired by many electronic artists such as Wisp and Gareth Clarke. Kallipolis has many releases available and an EP planed for THEM records later this year.

Terry Keeley: Terry is a 24 year old music tech student from belfast in Ireland, He runs a monthly night in Belfast with good friend and producer T-Polar. he enjoys many different styles of music, at this moment in time he’s listening to stuff like chris clark, flying lotus, mouse on mars, to the fall and my bloody valentine but ultimitely theres far too much great music to even possibly list. Terry’s has dj’d alongside many great dj’s including surgeon and speedy J.
