As its original intention was no other than to serve as a careful mirror of the netlabel scene, that intention remains intact. The growing rate of visitors (300+/day) and the healthy netlabel scene will be the push that will keep this project online.

Along the first months i had the idea that the best way to support the work of netlabels could be to invite them to showcase their selected works by themselves, doing a Monographic podcast. And after a hard compilation of contacts on November ‘07 was born the series. In numbers the valuation is quite satisfying because we have passed the milestone of 10.000 downloads of the episodes, but its much more satisfying the kind collaboration showed by all the netlabel curators i have contacted.

Right now we’re going to take some weeks off and hope to come back soon with renewed strengths and clear perspectives. Enjoy the summer.

Yours,

With the extensive and intensive efforts to have brought a representative sample of the netlabel scene along this year, we must say, we need holidays. And this can be seen as the last episode of the season.

Monographic arrives to its 28th release with the Berlin based Pentagonik netlabel. This couldnt have been possible without the cooperation of its curator, Don Ludwig and Kai, who trusted the recording of the mix to the well-known to the netlabel scene, Cotumo, who has a wide experience spinning the records around some european cities.

The roster of artists on the platform has its quality guaranteed by some names like Le Cantin (Archipel / One Bit Wonder), Ludwig Coenen (Immigrant / Flumo / Highgrade), the novelist and musician Norman Fairbanks (Testtube), Wego (Tropic / Flumo), Francesco Tarallo (Trapez), to name a few…

We’re sure you’ll enjoy this superb mix dancing alone or better with friends. Play it loud!!!

Official info:

Pentagonik was founded in early 2005 as a platform for electronic music and events. Thoroughly steeped in the contagious enthusiasm of the thriving Berlin electronic scene, the founding members decided to contribute their part.

The netlabel and events make up the the core of Pentagonik. Musically we focus on various types of contemporary electronic club music. Call it it minimal if you like. We strive to continuously release high-quality electronic music.

As a berlin-based netlabel we work at the interface between virtuality and local rooting in Berlin night-life. Parties are thus an integral part of Pentagonik’s work.
