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.
