April has been a great month for us at Konfort. The Incognito Traveller EP has broken the 15,000 downloads barrier, and is now headed for its 20,000th download. Thanks to everyone who has supported the record! Blogs in French, German, English Spanish and Portuguese have given it fab reviews! If you have not downloaded it yet, what are you waiting for? Get it Now!

Keeping our international presence alive, we took off earlier in the month to Paris for this year’s Qwartz Electronic Music Awards. With not much knowledge of French language, we took a stand at the accompanying independent labels fair at the famous Cirque De Hiver. Thank you for all the friendly people we met in Paris.

Our good friends at Dancefloor Mayhem and Discobelle music blogs have just featured Rubinskee’s Telúrico Ep on No Copy Protection, which they labelled “seriously funky”!



Also, last year, Rosco remixed BNLoco’s Canción Playera for a download only EP available via I-Tunes.



You can hear Rosco’s remix on Sonic 360 media player.

Mexican ambient musician Gélido is releasing a new track, unxistence, as part of EPA Sonidos‘ latest compilation, Toasted. EPA Sonidos is a chilenean net label, and the compilation also features tracks from fellows like Danieto, El Lazo Invisible and Djef, among others. Check it out now at www.epasonidos.cl.

Yes, we know house! Rubinskee is back on No Copy Protection with a taste of Disco, a dash of Hi NRG and heaps of funky House attitude. From the deep jazzy vibes of “Floripondia” (an excellent remix of an excelent track by Cri Kong) to the banging beats of “Ochentayseis”, Telúrico delivers thirty five minutes of mastercrafted house music. And it is free, for you all, now! Just download, press play and get up on the dancefloor!

As previously announced, them good folks at Solipsistic Nation have featured No Copy Protection on today’s special podcast on Creative Commons Netlabels, along with Thinner and Monotonik.

You can find the show at http://solipsisticnation.com/?p=117 or download it directly here. The podcast starts with a brief interview with DRXL and contains tracks from Cri Kong, Polifonia Visual, Rubinskee and Hermetic Sound.

Also, on December 8th and 9th, the 121st Anniversary of Diego Rivera’s birth will be celebrated with the Fourth Independent Record Labels Festival at Museo Anahuacalli, in Coyoacán. Like usual, Discos Konfort will be there, and YOU will be able to buy our records directly from our hands for (very!) cheap. This is a once-a-year opportunity to meet us and get the final copies of our hard-to-find older releases as well as the new DATA, so do not miss it!

This weekend, we were interviewed by our good friend Jopseph at Solipsistic Nation. No Copy Protection will be one of the net labels featured on the Solipsistic Nation Podcast for Friday November 30. Hear DRXL talk about Konfort and No Copy Protection, plus some music by Cri Kong, Hermetic Sound, Rubinskee and Polifonia Visual.

These weeks have been quite busy for all of us. Summer vacations are over and the school and job routines are back again (along with the heavy traffic). We have been thinking about this and for this month we’ve got a special release.
An obscure EP beyond routine and habits, produced by one of our favorite artists: MHV. Still more music to come. Stay tuned.

We’re back and proud to release one of the most organic additions to our net-label catalog. The Incognito Traveller EP is a set of 7 songs exploring the intimate journeys of everyday life. Download it!

We had a brief delay in our net-label calendar but we are now proud to present a 6 track release from Emmerichk: Asteroid.

Asteroid elegantly completes the past work of Emmerichk, mastering the melodic structures and digital production. So, if you already have heard his compositions, you will probably think this is the finest one; you won’t be disappointed.

An essential EP not just for the minimal techno audience; but for every person which enjoys great music.

After been inactive for a short while, our net label “No Copy Protection”is back with an extraordinary new release: the latest album from Mexican duo Hermetic Sound. In Melody Scenes, Hermetic Sound surprises us with a release vastly different from the house and drum and bass tracks we were used to expect from them. An intelligent mixture of hard driving beats, sonic experimentation and provocative samples. Sweet and luscious melodies bring light and hope into the dark and claustrophobic ambiances achieved by ruthless complex rhythms and oppressive sounds. This heterogeneous collection of tracks are like snapshots from a sonic journey from shadow into light. An outstanding addition to our catalogue. Download it now!
