Without Simon Carless many of us wouldn’t be here. He’s been managing Monotonik since 1996, which seems far far away within the netaudio scene. He’s also been moderating the archive.org netlabel community, granting us permission to host our files there, something like being our ‘godfather’. ;) here a few words from Simon…. “To be honest, I think my netlabel experience has run into a little arrested development – not that there’s not insane amounts of good music out there, but a lot of my netlabel points of reference seem to have peaked somewhere around 2004-2005, in terms of fellow netlabels doing the electronic headphone listening thing. So, from my sadly limited field of influence, here’s a sorta ‘Monotonik greatest idm hits vs. some classics from other labels I admire’, partly cribbed from a ‘best of 2004’ pick I did a while back (!). It’s all totally serene, and should make you happy.’ Less
