WMP is finally back and what a way to start this fourth season! This week, I talked to Diego Naranjo, Senior Policy Advisor at EDRi, to know more about the copyright reform that is still in the making in the EU. EDRi (European Digital Rights) is an association of civil and human rights organizations that advocates for the protection of our rights and freedoms online. On top of working directly…

After two very special episodes, today we go back to a full music session. We have bedroom pop and undiscovered netlabels, as well as some older loves. As my dissertation is coming to an end, I will continue to release new epiosdes of White Market Podcast on a weekly basis. I have a few interviews and features planned, and I still have a White Market in Context I’d like to share about the show in…

This week something quite unusual happened: I featured not only one but several netlabels that I had never played on the show. Netlabels used to be quite common when I first started the show in 2008, but with services like Bandcamp and Soundcloud, they seem to have fallen a bit out of place. There are exceptions, of course, but it’s almost ironic that the Netlabel Day initiative only became a…

After a few weeks of pre-recorded sessions, we live again from Spark’s studio with a full hour of carefully selected free music. A bit more on edge than usual, I explored different sound landscapes in a set that had space for dubstep, improvised music, lo-fi folk, trip-hop and more. I visited some of my favourites, but also opened doors for some new music to walk in. Zack Linton – Maybe I’m In…

Today, we had a special session about the CC Summit 2015. The Global Summit brings together the community of experts, academics, and activists who comprise the Creative Commons affiliate network in a different country every two years. CC Summit 2015 website CC Summit 2015 will take place in Seoul next week, from 14th to 17th of October. It’s a once-in-every-two-years event that brings Creative…

Tonight we wandered through the evening lights that now invade our usual slot at Spark Sunderland, sundays between 8pm and 9pm. With the dusk upon the studio, the songs were quite varied, with enough space for bits of house, dub and acoustic guitars – everything compiled in a wonderful collection you can download by following the links below.

With some blasts from the past and a few treats, we kept the free music engine running, and delivered another hour of great Creative Commons-licenced tracks. And, on top of all the fun, I’ve set myself quite the challenge: every week White Market will be uploading a new record on Free Music Archive. In case you missed it, here’s our collection soon to be expanded on a weekly basis. Walter Benjamin…
