After five years and 37 volumes of the netBloc series, I think it’s fair to say that blocSonic has turned on more than a few people to the netaudio culture. From the beginning, that was precisely why I began the series. I strive to make each volume eclectic and packed with information about each track. Combine that with the professionally designed art & PDF and what you’re left with is a compilation that serves as a great way to catch up on what’s been happening in netaudio culture.
Of course, if you’re new to netaudio, it’s also a great way to introduce you to that very culture. Is this the first netBloc release you’ve come to check out? If Read more …

It’s hard to believe that January is almost done and it’s already that time for us to wrap up MUTE month. It seems like it went way too quickly! No worries though, we end it with a tremendous new EP produced by UNknown (Formula). At times dark and other times introspective, yet all the while “UNkilling Time” is absorbing. As with all of what you heard by MUTE this month, this is music for the discriminating listener. Don’t say I didn’t warn you if you’re unable to stop listening.
I can’t thank Tha Silent Partner and UNknown enough for the amount of work they put in to make MUTE month go off without a hitch! I sure hope that Read more …

If you’ve been following what we do for long enough, you might have first heard MUTE’s “Is It Too Late For US All” when it made an appearance on “netBloc Vol. 15: this album won’t eat your gas money” back in mid-2008. A little over a year later, we brought you the great release by one half of MUTE… UNknown aka Formula’s “The Overcast Project” and then a little under another year, the other half of MUTE… Tha Silent Partner made his blocSonic release debut with “Tha Complete Platters Sessions XE” and it’s two singles “P Pulsar” and “Starksy”. As you see, MUTE has long been part of the blocSonic story and with MUTE month Read more …

Did you know that on January 16th, blocSonic will be 5 years old? Can you believe that it’s already been five years since we first released our premiere netBloc volume? To commemorate this, we’ve made January 2012, MUTE month and we’re packing the month with free releases!
So who is MUTE, you ask? MUTE is a project by Tha Silent Partner and Unknown (aka Formula). A project begun back in 2007 when they released their incredible collection “Pavement Politics, Vol. 1”. There’s never been a follow up release, but now they’re back in a big way! First with this one, “10 A.M.”, then an Xtended Edition re-release of Read more …
