Yesterday I had the great opportunity to meet a delegation of the Broque-netlabel here in Cologne. Really nice guys, that still keep holding the free CC-music flag up! Broque is not only one of the oldest net labels meanwhile, but at the same time one of the netlabels, that convinces with their high quality output from release to release. The recently released album “The Atlantic Machine” form Auto-Pilot give a good example. An intense and personal album with remembrance to techno, electronic, songs, days and nights. A very clean production. Feel free to download this great music for free! (Here is the release page in German as well)

Our friends from the Interdisco-netlabel in Switzerland released an interesting listening EP. The “Mittelmass Variationen” are remixes from the Mittelmass EP, originally made by Volta Vital. The remix artists are from the Interdisco-Label. Volta Vital carefully selected tunes for each respective remixer and the outcome is this nice piece of music, with lazy grooves and original Schwyzerdütsch lyrics. Download!

Mac OSX people, who still search for good drawing tools (apart from that obvious, but expensive Adobe range), should make this an instant download: Autodesk’s SketchBook teamed up with the marker and color-manufacturer Copic. The result is an free app, on the Mac App Store, that combines the goodness of both worlds: an easy to use software with nice to look at colors.

The app features 6 different Copic marker nibs and brushes, up to 6 basic layers and a collection of 72 Copic colors. Simply a fast way, to get stuff drawn.

Pause Music is back with a classic-sounding 8-bit release from Zan-zawa-zawa-veia. The tracks oscillate between music, you would expect at NES or gameboy classic games. The vibe is offworld and sometimes messes in technical, musical structures. It’s all a little sick, including the bands name “Zan-zawa-zawa-veia” itself. Music like 486-PCs. Classic game-music lovers just head over to the Pause-Music site and have a listen to Lune Rose or head over to the Bandcamp-site for doing the same.

August 2011 there will be the second edition of the Platine-Festival – parallel to the Gamescom 2011 and the GDC Europe. Is is a small scale, decentral organized, but really great festival upon contemporary game-art. The exhibition features a handful of cutting-edge artworks, that is somehow connected to games and art. It is taking place at various venues right in the heart of Cologne. I went there last year and really was not disappointed. The festival-program is available at the platine-cologne website. But to tease you, the friends of the Netlabelism-magazine, put together a small compilation of netmusic – featuring bits and bleeps, somewhere between game- and chipmusic. The compilation is also available to download (.zip).
