about 51beats
51beats “an electronic experience” is an independent electronic music label having the mission to promote high quality, non-commercial, innovative, and emotional sounds without distinctions among genres. The label supports all the different flavours of electronic music, ranging from ambient to techno passing through electrofunk, electroacustic, minimal and idm, all published with Creative Commons licences. Born as a netlabel in 2008, 51beats published since then more than 30 high quality electronic music net-releases, all available for the free download with CC licences. 51beats has been internationally recognized following the nominations at the QWARTZ Electronic and New Music Awards, editions 6 (2010) and 7 (2011). In parallel to the net-released catalogue, 51beats is currently publishing CD-releases as well, and vinyls are planned in the near future. To promote artists which are far from standard commercial channels is a 51beats major objective, and the 51beats project currently comprehends events organization and booking managment for some of the label artists.
51beats “an electronic experience” è una label indipendente di musica elettronica che ha come obiettivo la proposta di suoni non-commericali, innovativi ed emozionali. 51beats nasce come netlabel nel 2008 e da allora pubblica più di 30 opere musicali di elettronica di qualità, tutte rilasciate mediante licenze Creative Commons. La label supporta i più differenti generi musicali, dalla ambient alla techno, passando attraverso sonorità electrofunk, elettroacustiche, minimali ed idm. Il progetto 51beats comprende ora anche la pubblicazione di opere musicali su supporti “tradizionali” presto disponibili anche mediante distributori internazionali. Grazie alla nomination della net-release [51bts#012] Marcio McFly: “Farsi le Foto” ai QWARTZ 6 Electronic Music Awards nella categoria DISCOVERY (2010), 51beats viene apprezzata a livello mondiale. Il 2011 consacra ulteriormente la label con la doppia nomination ai QWARTZ Electronic and New Music Awards 7 nella categoria COMPILATION con [51bts#001CD] 51beats: “Gravity and Quantum Mechanics”, una magnifica selezione musicale (doppio CD) della label da parte del fondatore di 51beats, Robidat, e nella categoria DANCEFLOOR con “Campane” firmata I CANI (net-release 51bts#026 Concerto 001). La promozione di nuovi artisti lontani dai tradizionali canali commerciali è, e sarà sempre, un obiettivo principale per 51beats.
