This is the shiny new official Netlabel Day account.

For those unfamiliar, Netlabel Day is a longstanding international music event dedicated to free-to-use, free-to-share, free-to-enjoy music from artists all around the world.

Officially Netlabel Day occurs annually every July 14. There is a 51-hour Netlabel Day Radio broadcast beginning at UTC -14 (Kiribati Time) and ending -12 UTC (the aptly named Anywhere On Earth time zone).

However, Netlabel Day Radio broadcasts 365 1/4 days a year, featuring a heavy rotation of EVERY Netlabel Day release from the preceding year, and a light rotation of every Netlabel Day release ever made since our debut in 2015.

Netlabel Day Radio is here: https://www.internet-radio.com/station/netlabelday/

Our homepage contains links to all the releases from the previous year. I'm working on an archive of every single track ever released for Netlabel Day, but for now this will do.

Netlabel Day's homepage is here: https://netlabelday.org/

There's much, much more to say and still more to come. Meanwhile, go listen to some music.

Just fixed my server and rebooted Netlabel Day Radio online, but I lost all the playlists.

SOOO....

While I get everything back in order, you get to hear selections from my 12,000 hours or so of ALL TEN YEARS of Netlabel Day PLUS ALL the Creative Commons music in my personal collection. Lots of genres, lots of sounds, lots to consider...

Enjoy!

Netlabel Day

One week till #NetlabelDay2025. Looks like I'm gonna be responsible for an awful lot of broadcast time, unless people magically start signing up.

No matter. The show goes on. Consider the lilies.

I may have brewed this Turkish tea a *bit* too strong.

Here, have a slice.

Free Music Artists: If you don't have new music, anthologies rule. I myself put together several last year from Magnatune, Jazz Goa, Jazzaria, and Musopen. Even better if they have liner notes of some sort so that we can educate folks about this crazy wide world of Creative Commons, Art Libre, GPL, PD, and otherwise freely licensed music that tells corporate music to go pleasure itself in a corner somewhere.

Be part of #NetlabelDay2025 . Might as well go for a soda, yo.

If you're keen to do a mix or a show, live or recorded: Check the fancy spreadsheet to behold the majestic timeline of 51 hours, spanning all time zones across the world. You can choose your slot for chaos. Drop me a show between 15-120 minutes (you choose) in which you can do DJ mixes, perform live studio music, spin vinyl, chop bits, promote the cause of sonic anarchy, etc. Please be sure you lean heavily on free/libre music in the mix.

#NetlabelDay2025 begins this year at 14 July 2024 Line Island Time (GMT+14)

Send me linkz at least one track, one album, one playlist under a free sharing license. Ensure it is released either without cost or pay-what-you-can for at least the week of 14 July through 20 July.

If you have no music you want to release on 14 July itself, I will accept ANY album or single or mixtape or radio show or vodcast or playlist ALREADY RELEASED IN 2025.

Might as well let people hear your tunes, homes.

Y'all got a week and a half before #netlabelday2025 So if you want to contribute better get at me quick, fam.

Lots -- I mean LOTS of radio slots remain. Throw me your podcasts and mixtapes if you don't wanna go live. But don't get left out.

I'll be asking a bunch of netlabel folks who may not read this to contribute their latest releases. But why wait? If I haven't asked you, and you want your music heard by thousands more people, send me your stuff.

The time has come to start signing up for #Netlabelday2025 DJ slots. Same system as what was used last year: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ALqXQFUNIoFAfaeAXtWKb3pxK_3YZjSP7r2LCb8lu9w/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Any genre is welcome.

Please send questions and pre-recorded sets to @wiloma at [email protected].

Separately, you can also have a #netlabelday release. You can find more info about that process at https://beige.party/@musicman/114597448203151980 (there is also some additional information about the the DJ slots there I couldn't get in the char limit)
