Fall is for Lovers – New Sven Swift Mixtape!

A Collection Of Catchy Pop Tunes | Despite the fact that it is grey, rainy and coldish, Autumn is a season of maximum bliss. Right between Summer holidays and Christmas vacation, Autumn gives time to breathe deeply, sort things out, to come down. The odor of falling leaves is on the streets, mixing with the perfume of flavored tea and for the first time since long it feels good to stay home. Stay with your beloved, hopefully.

365 Days of Phlow Magazine

One year ago, mo. of phlow.net and me started the Phlow Magazine. The mag features Netaudio reviews, compilations and gossip on a daily basis. This is, in particular, the reason why it became a bit silent over here at RUBored.org… all my writer’s creativity is drawn off by the mag!

Welcome to 12rec.050!

For our 50th release, we decided to go for a compilation.
All exclusive. All free. All for you.

We drummed up the whole bunch and asked them to deliver
the best they have. So they did.
Seventeen chosen songs from recent and future 12rec. artists.

You can download the compilation for free.
You should do so!

Take me to the downloads

But if you really really want to support 12rec. and our artists,
make sure to take a look at the fine digipak CD we got done:

Yummy! This way to the shop.

Joining the jubelee party, Phlow Mag did an interview with 12rec. hobos Sullen and Swift. Read on!

#79 The Green Kingdom – “Miniature Forest Remix” (IOD)

To celebrate its first birthday, Paris top-notch Ambient Netlabel IOD releases an exclusive compilation, readably as a who-is-who of Ambient composers. “Miniature Forest Remix” is a collection of seven, well, remixes from the corresponding The Green Kingdom-song from his self titled CD debut released by IOD mother ship SEM. Everybody with just the slightest interest in experimental Ambient: go download!

#78 Etienne Michelet – “Bleu Vespéral” (La Nouvelle Dégelée)

Calm Ambient | Young Etienne Michelet is an experimental songwriter and delivery boy of rich, textural Ambient. Just recently, Michelet released two EPs at the notorious Resting Bell Netlabel, and over at Digital Biotope. But I’d like to talk about his former minialbum “Bleu Vespéral – A Music For Harmonium” published via La Nouvelle Dégelée earlier this year.

#77 Gareth Dickson – “Sampler” (Polymorphic)

Ambient Folk Miniatures | Last.fm is a good source to start your investigations on certain artists. In case of UK Gareth Dickson, Last.fm tells us “Solo acoustic guitar with effects and vocals“. That’s true on a technical level, still so much information is missing. Add adjectives like introspective, tender, experimental and blissful to get a bit closer to the Dickson music.

#76 Daniel Maze – “Red After Image” (Serein)

Refreshing Electropop Psychedelica | Daniel Maze is a name you stumble about every now and then. Despite his new record for the Welsh Serein Netlabel, Vancouver-boy Maze has an opulent discography in the back including releases for Test Tube, EKO, 12rec. and many more. His electronic music incorporates diverse genres from glitch to Pop. “Red After Image” is Daniel Maze’ masterpiece.

[12rec.049] Hermelin – Hermelin LP

As 12rec. will celebrate it’s fourth birthday this year, approximately four generations of musicians released their works with us. Hermelin, this wonderful Rock band from Hanover, Germany, came across your way as a 2nd wave 12rec.-act. Remember their “Split LP” (12rec.030) with Cologne Noiserockers Junique Fois Pi? It’s the kids, hell yeah. In 2008, Hermelin show up with their full-length debut album. We’re happy to support the band and bring forth their new album for free download and CD purchase.

Boring Music Volume V is online!

It’s time for Boring Music, once again! To all those who are new to this, let me give you a brief explanation: at RUBored.org, I’m writing about music that’s free for download and about some hardcopy records released by tiny labels that have certain connections to the Netaudio-scene. Every 15 reviews, I take the songs I liked best from each featured record and put them in a splendid mix. As there are 75 reviews online up to now, it’s time for the fifth round of the Boring Music Series.
