We’re psyched to continue our tradition of celebrating netlabel culture by releasing music on Netlabel Day! For our fifth year we’ve got three great releases for you to enjoy.

Vietnam II return with new album “Suspect Citizen”

Barely four months after the release of I Wouldn’t Want To Disappoint You By Not Disappointing You, Vietnam II return with the incredible Suspect Citizen! Thirteen highly moody and addictive post-surf/indie-rock songs packed with razor-sharp social commentary about all that’s been happening around us here in the United States since the last album was released. Suspect citizens… download it and enjoy.

Jamarr and Eddie, thank you both for another terrific album! I don’t know how you guys can be so prolific while also turning out such addictive and thought provoking music.

Donnie Ozone drops another one!

Aside from his appearance on Cheese N Pot-C’sDown To The Wire EP at the end of 2019, it’s been exactly a year since we last released a Donnie Ozone joint. That’s because we can always count on him holding it down for Netlabel Day. In fact, his last release was for that exact reason. Well here we are and Donnie once again delivers for this special day celebrating netlabel culture. With Skate God, he gives us a tasty hip-hop joint laced with drum n bass beats and lyrics painting a vivid picture of a skate god doing that thing! Hey kids… enjoy this.

Yo Donnie… you continue to deliver the super dope jams… thank you, sir!

mGee revisits past remixes with new EP

So, you may or may not know that not only do I run this label, but I also dip my toe in music-making as mGee, whenever I have free time. So, it’s no surprise that I rarely release music, since I rarely have extra time. That’s too bad, because I love making it. Four years after my last release, I finally decided to make time for it. I recently heard an old remix and thought that it could use a few tweaks and a remaster. That lead to deciding to revisit a few remixes and releasing them together as Remixes, Volume 1 to help celebrate Netlabel Day. So here we are. I hope you discover or rediscover these songs and perhaps revisit each artist’s releases, too! Included are remixed songs by BADLUCK, Cheese N Pot-C, Garmisch, The Honorable Sleaze & Liam Stewart. All incredible artists that deserve to be heard beyond the remixes. As the name suggests, expect another volume sometime in the future.

Thank you so much to all artists that have allowed folks to remix their tunes! R.I.P Sleaze.

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!
