sign up to be a #netlabelday2026 DJ at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ALqXQFUNIoFAfaeAXtWKb3pxK_3YZjSP7r2LCb8lu9w/edit?gid=777964345#gid=777964345
Strictly speaking, Netlabel Day is July 14, but because of the way timezones work, it is a 51 hour event.
If you want to participate, but you aren't available those days, let us know! We will get you involved. In fact, there is an entire organization dedicated to finding a place for folks to get involved: https://friendsofccmusic.org/
You can play any shareable music, what I have taken to call #netnativemusic. Largely, these use #ccmusic but can also be #publicdomain or other licenses!
Any genre! #avantgarge #hiphop #punk #noise #spokenword #electronic #electronica #powerviolence #hardcore #vikingmetal #metal #jazz #Classical
I could go on, but you probably get the picture.
played tracks do not need to be currently on a #netlabel. This could be a place for netlabels to discover you! Many netlabels press vinyl and have other such physical media. The term netlabel has lost some steam now that everything is online, but this is true alternative music. Not as a genre, but as a state of mind.
If you reject mainstream capitalism, then Netlabel Music might be for you. If you just like weird music, then Netlabel Music might be for you. If you want a community of folks that when and where you share music should not be governed by Google or Meta or any government, the netlabel music is for you.
We respect the NoDerivatives tag not because of a treaty signed in the 1800s, but because we respect the artist's wishes.
If you have questions, leave a comment or email me at [email protected]
Also, be aware of the Curator Assembly the Sunday following Netlabel Day (July 19) and the Netlabel Assembly will be August 16 (also a Sunday)
