Various Artists - netBloc Volume 31 (Goodbye, Hello) (BSCOMP0031, 2010)

2010 has been an incredible year for blocSonic. We’ve had Boots Riley on ETHX’ “Boom to Bloom” and Chuck D on Just Plain Ant’s “Rumble, Young Man, Rumble”. We’ve released our first indie and pop albums with Friends or Whatever’s self-titled debut, Garmisch’s self-titled blocSonic debut and Liam Stewart’s “Sixteen Words”. We’ve re-released three netaudio albums with exclusive bonus content — CM aka Creative’s “The Classic Material Completion Package XE”, Tha Silent Partner’s “Tha Complete Platters Sessions XE” and Just Plain Ant’s “Songs About Something XE”. Including this one, we’ve released five more netBloc compilations packed with a wide array of netaudio gems from all over the world! On top of that, we brought the maxi-single to the world of netlabels and netaudio with our 12 maxBloc promotional singles! We’re serious about bringing a certain amount of professionalism to the world of netlabels and we’re glad to see a host of other netlabels stepping their game up and doing so also. While the mainstream is sleeping, let’s all continue to work together and make this netlabel/netaudio scene an enviable source of amazing music!

Although it’s been an amazing year, it’s time that we say goodbye to 2010 and say hello to 2011! For blocSonic it’s looking to be another great one! Here’s a quick look at our packed schedule:

  • Feb. 1st — Joey Ripps (hip-hop)
