After a short hiatus, blocSonic<\/a> is now back on track in releasing their latest addition to their Netbloc compilations, Netbloc 34: The Whitewash.<\/strong>\u00a0As expected, the 14-track record is a goldmine of new sound. Featuring relatively new and unknown artists from all over the world playing different genres, the album is quite an enjoyable record worth raving about.<\/p>\n

We’ve featured several of these compilations from the label right here on Frostclick. You can check them here <\/a>and here<\/a>. All of them are available as a free download and serve as a great way to discover new bands or new music in the CC licensed music world.<\/p>\n

Like previous netBlocs, The Whitewash mixes together different genres of music and aims to give new bands a chance to shine with their unique sound. You get a helping of pop, electropop, punk, electronic jazz and even hip-hop in this mix. Most of the artists hail from various netlabels but there are a couple that are independently released.<\/p>\n

The album starts off with a dance electropop single from\u00a0Enough Records<\/a> staple, The Easton Ellises<\/strong>. Yakuza Baby<\/em> features lovely synth vocals and very catchy disco tune worth any club dancefloor. It’s followed by the jazzy and sultry pop track from The Womb<\/strong>. They fill their track with spacey backgrounds and whispery vocals making you think of seedy rooms and alleyways.<\/p>\n

The Whitewash switches gears by the middle portion and injects some hip hop lovin’ from Frenic<\/strong> of Dusted Wax Kingdom <\/a>netlabel and ILLUS and DJ Johnny Juice<\/strong> with their single, Ready Remix<\/em>. Meanwhile, The Frankenstone<\/strong> from Yes No Wave<\/a><\/strong> label serve as the punk representatives for this compilation. Their sound is a heavy mix of guitars, fast drumming and shouty vocals characteristic of the punk ethos.<\/p>\n

Overall, the record is a great piece to have.\u00a0It’s filled with all the goodness you’ve come to expect from netBloc compilations along with some really cool surprises along the way. Grab the download and take a listen.<\/p>\n
