Not only a musician for approximately ten years now, Vincent Fugère a.k.a. “Muhr” was around when the whole Netaudio thing initially kicked off. As he reports in a recent interview for Phlow Magazine, microscopic social networks, chipmusic and a Babylonian mishmash of different file types where the primordial soup for the Netaudio scene to emerge from. Actually, Vince is the face behind the respectable Camomille Netlabel and Apegenine recordlabel. He released a whole bunch of EPs at hipster places like Zymogen, Serein, Miasmah and many more. We’re happy to have Muhr joining the 12rec.-family for his most recent album “Anthèmes our les Regrets”.

German Pop-genius Kevin Hamann (My First Trumpet, Bratze, ClickClickDecker) compiles nice mixtapes with free-for-download Indiepop music every month since January 2008. He provides the links to the MP3-files (most of them not Creative Commons-licensed), gets fine artworks done, promotes the compilations via his weblog Herz Statt Kommerz and plays them on his radioshow at Byte.fm. The February-edition features Rob Hunter’s “Waiting” from Rob’s selftitled EP at 12rec.net and comes with a cool artwork by The Geekz.
Due to this, Kev will host a 12rec-special at Byte.fm Webradio very soon. You may look fwd to unreleased material and a (hopefully) smart Sullen & Swift-interview… I’ll keep you posted!
Note: Talking about the My First Trumpet album Frerk, there are only TWO MORE COPIES until sold out… Make sure to order now!

The idea to invite bands to play delicious little off-stage gigs is not new. The french media-blog La Blogotheque has a huge archive of this kind of music-videos, showing the cream of the crop of nowaday’s Indie Pop performing in the streets. It’s all free and you can stream every video in fine quality. Just recently, the Austrian pendant went online.

This is my new record! Online for free download at the lovely Resting Bell Netlabel. These are the liner notes:
“In June 2007, Sven Swift aka The Love Songs performed a 25-minutes live-set at the DIY 2.0 festival in Dresden. The whole set consists of one well-structured, tension-filled piece of drone music, created with analogue synthesizers and effect-feedback only (an exception is the little nightingale-chant framing the performance). The complete recording is naturally placed atop the sound of the audience and city underneath, people chatting around, an ambulance passing the venue. It was Alexander Peterhaensel who carefully recorded all of this.”
