Netlabel Day Recap on Music Manumit
I was asked by Doug of Music Manumit if I would like to be interviewed about Netlabel Day 2015.
We discuss quite a few topics that are relevant to both the Netlabel Day event, and Netlabels in general: Â Some of the topics we talk about:
- The history of Netlabels and the DemoScene.
- The reason for choosing July 14th for the event.
- The choices of licensing by different labels.
- The geographic locations of the labels that participated in the event this year.
- The “exclusivity” of artists working with various labels.
- The aspect of the commercial side of some netlabels.
One of the things that we forgot to do is mention the Netlabel Day website URL.
This was a really wide-ranging interview, and a lot of this really pulls on my own perspectives and opinions. Â I can’t claim to be the sole possessor of all knowledge regarding netlabels, so I always am interested in hearing and reading other perspectives.
However, I hope this interview does the job it was intended to do: open the door a little more into what is happening with netlabels. Â Where they fit in this world. and why they are important. Â I think it’s one of the best things we can do to promote what we believe in wherever and whenever possible, using any available resources.
This is one of those cases. Â If, and I hope it’s true, that even 2 people learn something about Netlabels, or get excited about the Netlabel Day event, then I’ve done my job.
In The Future…
Hopefully next year will be different.  Now that I know about the event and can do some planning for it, I have a host of ideas that I want to contribute to the group, and some things that I want to step up and offer my help and support with.  I want to be become more directly involved with event, and even have a plan to offer something as a tie-in to the event.
If you or someone you know is interested in helping with the event, I suggest contacting Manuel Silva via the Netlabel Day page on Facebook, that seems to be the best place to get ahold of him.
