It would seem that MPAA CEO Chris Dodd has completely lost the plot. According to a very angry letter from Senator Dodd, protests against SOPA are ‘pranks’ and websites supporting the Anti-SOPA campaign are doing it “to further their corporate interests”. This would imply the creative commons world, Wikipedia et al, are a bunch of corporate whores who have nothing better to do then take part in a day of worldwide hoodwinking.  Did congress change the calendar too, is it April 1st?

Same same but different

The uberlord of the mighty MPAA often pulls ‘facts’ and figures out of the air to prove a point. In fairness he’s not the only one at it, members of the RIAA must have attended the same propaganda management courses as the MPAA drones. They often use their own fabricated facts & figures to mesmerize the masses with their war on music. Chris states that he is diligently “protecting American jobs from foreign criminals”. To make matters worse, the formidable lobbying organization known as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says pirate sites “threaten more than 19 million American jobs”.

Chief Entertainments Officer

Giving credit where credit is due, at least Chris and co are providing lighthearted entertainment during these dark times. The following video sums up the views of the MPAA, RIAA, US Chamber of Commerce and most US presidential candidates. Enjoy.

Happy New Year. I’ve blended 75 minutes of ambient soundscapes peppered with glitches and bleeps for your listening pleasure.

It’s an exciting month as I’ll be uploading a new, more beat orientated mix in the next two weeks and of couse more reviews on the way too. I have great news about new artists that will appear on Invisible Agent in 2012, stay tuned for more updates about upcoming Invisible Agent EPs.

Netlabel discoveries

Meander through space and time and you’ll arrive at a live electronics playground provided by Closer Contact & Meteer on the amazing BFW netlabel. Once again I can’t get enough from Cut Records, this time Bryn Thomas features along side regulars such as Ambienteer.  All the output on FeedbackLoop is a must have for any music collection. Blearmoon and Elias Merino are new discoveries and I’ll certainly be following up on any other releases they have.

Static Discos

There was much interest in the Ambient and more laid back releases I mentioned in my previous post. To balance things out and to satisfy the friendly requests I’ve decided to share some beat orientated recommendations. I post links and recommendations more frequently on Twitter, so come on by and say hello. Enjoy these fantastic Netlabel releases and support the artists if possible.

Thefft – The primer EP – Cut Records

The crew at Cut run a tight ship. Their attention and love for high quality releases is unyielding. In their latest low frequency salvo, Thefft delivers a unique dubbed out tech groover peppered with synths. As samples shots and broken beats mutate, this 3 track EP almost has an early 90′s warehouse feel. As with all releases on Cut, it’s hard to pigeon hole this EP, even after several listens it’s still hard to figure out if the beats are about to drop to more a languid level or become delirious. A sure player for the headphones or in a DJ set, tasty morsels once again from Cut. Download the release now.

Marcoerre – When i’m away – Unfoundsound

The third release on unfoundsound by Italian producer Marcoerre. When I’m away’ EP is an easy going minimal Techno number. Spacious and dreamy layers are inter-fused with old school analogue drum hits. Purposeful pattern changes and synth sweeps keep the listener mesmerized. Perfect for attention with a set of headphones or on a very large club sound system. Recommended. Download the release here.

It’s been a bit quiet on the web front as I’ve been rearranging my music studio. I’ll be back in to the swing of things again soon. There is an upcoming AgentCast mix for December, so stay tuned. It’s been a while since I wrote a Netlabel review, I promise more are on the way. I’ve decided to highlight 4 releases that need your attention and should certainly be in your music collection.

Netlabel releases that are essential for your music collection

Ketsa – 11.11 Vol 1 and 11.11 Vol 11 (2 X LP)

Ketsa (Dominic Giam) is an extremely talented and prolific artist.  Based in London, Dominic hails from the free party scene and is an experienced musician and DJ. With several vinyl and a whole range of digital releases he has crafted himself a unique and beautiful sound.  His latest release 11.11 Vol1 is on BFW Recordings and is available for free here. Layers of intricate melodies and samples glide you gently through a fresh and positively charged journey.

If that wasn’t enough, Ketsa has released a 2nd album in parallel. Entitled ’11.11 Vol 11′ it is available for free on Bandcamp. Stunning creations to say the least.

Dustmotes – None for the crow EP

Producer and sound designer Paul Crocker (a.k.a. dustmotes) releases his 2nd EP entitled “None For The Crow”. Ambient soundscapes and hypnotic reverie are the order on this excellent EP.  Full of serene ambient textures and guitar based resonances, this EP leaves you wanting for more. Check out the release on Dusted Wax

Ambienteer – Arromanches EP

James introduces new and different textures and techniques on all his releases, re-enforcing the fact he is a gifted and experienced experimental artist. The tracks on Arromanches are deep and rich. James transforms his experiences and emotions directly into engaging sounds on this fabulous EP.

If you’re in Phnom Penh on Saturday the 3rd of November, be sure to drop in to the ‘Do It All‘ Club on Street 174. The venue has been revamped with even more improvements to come. To celebrate they’re throwing a relaunch party, free entry, drinks & live performances.

Beats & bass with be served in healthy doses by Mekong Bass ‘Treediver’ and Warren Daly from Invisible Agent. This capable duo have already displayed their dance-floor filling skills at various venues around town. If you’re looking for non-commercial tunes ranging from dubstep, drum & bass to finer instrumental house then come on down, we’re gonna be partying late. If that wasn’t enough, Professor Kinski will be playing live, you may have already heard his Cambodian Space Project remixes. He’ll be keeping the bass low and funky with a wicked live performance. A perfect trio to ignite the party, we know you’ll be  getting your wiggle on. Hope to see you there.

Chhan Dina painted live on a virtual painting wall that was made with seemingly obsolete equipment and a WiiRemote for less then $50 (US)

Warren Daly from Invisible Agent and Chhan Dina presented their virtual painting wall at TEDx in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Their presentation was entitled ‘The art of virtual obsolescence‘ and they displayed a working example of an interactive graffiti and painting wall constructed from recycled electronic equipment. You can read more about it here, a fully detailed document of how we built and used this technology will be available soon.

Think big and be creative

We want to encourage you to think big and breakdown the barriers restricting your creativity. It doesn’t have to be art, you can think creatively about everything you do in life.

So what’s stopping you?

We shared our experiences overcoming obstacles restricting us from creating digital art. We proved it is possible. All you need is a good idea, a little bit of research and help from your friends. Believe in yourself, you can do it.
