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 many technical difficulties, a lot of travelling and a week of unstoppable rain in the North East of England, the show is finally online. Being very honest, I would have liked it to have some extra content, but it was impossible after a series of unfortunate events. In a near future there’s still a European Commons Assembly special to come and a Europeana special as well! For now, here’s…

Our #freemusicfriday feature is back, which means every friday I’ll be uploading a new record to Free Music Archive. This week, I bring you one of my personal favourites. Originally released on the Argentinian netlabel Sólo Le Pido a Dior, “Our Imaginary Friend” by E T I L E is a seven-track record and is available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike licence, which…

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…

Today is Netlabel Day and we are, of course, celebrating it properly. This week’s session featured exclusively music that was released for this year’s most exciting netlabel event, and we even had an interview with Manuel Silva, from M.I.S.T. Records, who is the main person behind the initiative. ELYA – Chinese Calendar [La bèl] [CC BY-NC-SA] Small Colin – Program VCO [Rec72] [CC BY] Endocarb…

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. Taseh – Birds of Paradise Marching Band [Monster Jinx…

As usual, the weekly full hour of free music on Spark Sunderland was quite diversified. Today, however, there were some key blocks: instrumental, south american and 80s flavoured music. Quite the mix, yes, but in a land where music has no boundaries, where you can freely download every single song, the problem is always to pick the best cherries. After all, most of them are simply delicious, just…
