Love to see this here, a very well researched video!
It was an awesome scene, I used to put out jungle and trip hop tracks on Mono211/Monotonik/Voodoo and a couple of other mod labels back in the day.
Everything was free, in an era where studio time and studio equipment was really expensive it was mind-blowing to be able to do it with just a PC, all in software. Lots of friendly competition between artists and the file format was such that you could open a mod and see exactly how it was put together, and reuse the samples if you wanted to. Gave birth to many people's careers in music and software!
- nuclx 5y agoMono211 was such a quality netlabel. I used to download all tracks they (and other labels such as TDR) released back in the days and listen to them while learning to code. This shaped my taste in music as the only other influence in this pre-Kazaa era were rather boring mainstream radio broadcasts and MTV. It felt like wizardry and names like distance, dune, falcon or mortimer twang still give me shivers.
