   Ricky Eat Acid - A Smoothie Robot For My Moon Mansion

   In honor of Creative Common's 10th anniversary a few years ago the netlabel Bad Panda put together a playlist that we discovered on CC-Europe's Soundcloud page.

   Lonah - Fly Me

   We've been looking back at playlists of old to check in with some artists we followed back in 2005 and 2006. Many are nowhere to be found, remembered only by the tracks they left on archive.org or on netlabels that have gone extinct. But many are still active, or somewhere in between. Lonah, from...

    Shin Wada - Scene #1 "Do You Know What The Scariest Thing Is?"

    Bump Foot has always been an interesting place to dig, quite a number of picks from past posts and shows have been from either the Bump or the Foot side of this Japanese net label formed as far as I can tell, in 2005. Bump focuses on techno and house while foot does everything else. Collectively,...
