Category: Netlabel Day

As some of you may know I’ve been podcasting since January 2006. Back then we had a limited resource of places where podcasters could get “podsafe” music.  The best place to find, creative commons licensed (often free) music were netlabels. Guess what? It still is. I’ve had a look through my archives and tried to draw up a list of netlabels (and other websites) I have used over the years. I’ve removed the resources where promotions have been paid for. I’ve just tried to focus on the grassroots, the free and the CC resources. It turns out there are 681 of them.

Many of these labels are long dead, others still very much alive, and some just wake up each year on July 14th and release something for Netlabelday. I’ve not included links because some are out of date and others have moved. If you ever want to locate a release from one of these labels then please do ask me pete.cogle@gmail.com. It’s always possible I have a copy squirrelled away somewhere.

The number will always get larger, but here’s the first 681……
