The people behind the now defunct Virus-B23 have been working on a new direction for the output of electronically influenced music. The new venture is an entirely free netlabel, with releases being released on a creative commons license for the availability of anybody.
An Introduction to Myuzyk
Myuzyk's output comprises of varying styles and forms of electronic music, from beatless ambience and soundscapes to music written for the dancefloor. Our policy is open with regard to the inclusion of different genres, without attempting to ride the coat tails of the latest "in" sound. Recording artists contributing to Myuzyk come from the UK and elsewhere around the planet: some with releases on widely known labels, trying out new ideas and sometimes different material to their recognized sound; others from the magical land of the bedroom producer.
Myuzyk is run by Henry Wilhelm; he also tends to the design and releases. The rest of the team share a passion for contemporary music and artforms and help out with various aspects of the label. Myuzyk is a non-profit venture existing solely to help spread music to hard drives, digital audio players and possibly some gigs in the future.
"As a netlabel standards must still be kept. Integrity and belief in the music is everything, you can be assured that there will be no half measures being poured here. The changing landscape of music culture and a large amount of listeners maturing and refining their tastes and habits means that the home may get as much audio lavished on it as the dancefloor. Myuzyk intends to bring you the sounds of celebration and contemplation, beats and spaces, the exploration of two poles of music wrapped up in free digital releases."
Please visit myuzyk's website for further information, or perhaps submit any demos or sonic explorations that you feel would suit the agenda of this netlabel.

SCKE// | 1981
Myuzyk proudly presents the first release which is an album of engaging ambience and edited field recordings. The 1981 collection is specifically inspired from time spent by SCKE// in southern Spain as a child. The album is a documentation of audio memories, a sound diary that has been created years later.
“Really for me SCKE// is becoming about interacting with my environment, the real emotions and upliftment that comes when you step out onto the street and wrap your coat around you at the fresh biting of the air. The smell of smoke in the air in November or recalling the trickling sound of water or bucket and spade childhood memories on foreign shores.”
