If you love discovering great netlabel artists as much as I do, you’ll enjoy this episode. There’s plenty of netlabel goodies in #58 — some favorites that you’ve heard before in this series,  like Phour Trakk  (Ideology) and Fonogeri (Jamendo) — and some other discoveries for which I can thank Phlow Magazine (don’t miss their great 2009 advent/retrospective) and Blocsonic’s amazing compilations.

In addition, I’ve included early net-music pioneers Kush and a track from the newest and ultra-smooth chillout release from Sine Music ….”Chillbar, Volume 2.” They’ve been putting out consistently high-quality releases all year.
