The IDM and netlabel thread.

This is a carry-on from a previous thread, but speciffically devoted to netlabels whom (usually) release free music of any kind. News/releases/upcoming info etc.

Anybody have any favs? The following are some of the top labels I use. Lots and lots of good stuff. Worth checking out even if you don't know any of the types of music. I can say this, if you're a fan of the label Merck, which it seems many here are, you'll love most of these labels. Boards of Canada type stuff I guess.

Leibniz - Minimal Techno/Tech-House/Experimental

Dude, please stop this offensive shit here, on good thread like this, pm and argue about your relationships.
If you don't like thread/genre/thread starter just don't post here.
Or if you want to state your opinion please, do it in more intelligent way.

Hmm... where do I start with all those labels ?!? A label with you know.. girly, glittery IDM. Like Four Tet and Cinematic Orchestra and Murcof and the like ?


Oh, another worth mentioning is Tipper.


Thanks for the tip Potassium B. Looking into Sleepy Town Manufacture now.

Grab a few VA's from the various IDM labels. I suggest maybe Sutemos. They have quite alot of the I guess you can call it "melodic" IDM. Just about everything on Sutemos is worth listening to.

Sleepy Town Manufacture is also great. Theres a couple other artists I'm thinking of, but can't recall the names. I think Sense is one. Idmonster is also a great producer. I'll post more names as they pop into my head. But def check out Sutemos, see if that's what you're after. :>

I recommend to listen to Lali Puna - 40 Days, awesome track, and as for more artists/albums Aphex Twin Druqks and Selected Ambient Works (especially part II).
And yeah V/A albums is best to download imo, after that you can decide what artist you like the most = whose stuff you'd enjoy and need to get, but that's for starters (I am the one), and as I see Estella you're not. :]

Wow. This will keep me busy for awhile. I'm aldfkjalkdfj dl'ing jf;lkajflaf Lali Puna now. What a cool name! Thank you two so much! A fun group I forgot to mention is Flanger. And I feel that I didn't give enough respect to Neotropic. It's "melodic" lol. Full of fluttering beauty. And the artist Colleen does her own mandolin work.

http://www.discogs.com/label/Sutemos

Yeah, Intelligent Toys I and II, are the things to get on Sutemos :]]

HurHUR golly geeesh. I'm just here for the free spring rolls and green tea. And also hopes that I can learn a bundle from you and Linden and all others posting in here.

Yeh, Intelligent Toys II was great. Not to mention featured an unreleased Ulrich Schnauss track. Props to City Centre Offices for discovering that man.

Well... I just got done reading the review of Everything Ecstatic on the Sutemos site. If your not into "schizo" sporatic jazz fusion, then it won't be up your alley. Diversity: symptoms of being schizoid. I preferred calling it "spewed pastels on canvas" but whatever. hahaa. I like this little site.

Do you two like Tosca? Swayzak? The label !k7 is dandy!

lol my participation in this thread is almost outdone but I just got done listening to Lali Puna. It reminds me alot of DNTEL. I like the effect at 2:52, whatever that screeching instrument is. Thanks for the heads up, Potassium

you're fast one :>

Hmm, not too many people here like IDM it seems. :l

Heres's a song for you:

Vincent Gallo - I wrote this song for the girl Paris Hilton.

Soulseek, by the way.

I'm outta here, Potassium. Good evening!
