# Netlabel-List
List of netlabels (active and inactive) and their URLs.
Based on [NetlabelList](https://github.com/nsorog/NetlabelList) / [Acts of Silence](http://www.actsofsilence.com/netlabels/) (offline) by [David Nemeth (dpnem)](https://github.com/dpnem).
### Why another netlabel-list?
The *Acts of Silence*-list contains unstructured data, which makes it hard to explore all netlabels that e.g. release *Experimental* music, or that are based in *France*. Filtering is not possible.
For this reason I have converted the original *Acts of Silence*-list to JSON-format, which makes it easy to build upon, filter the results or create data visualisations with.
## Example Netlabel
```
{
"label_name": "Yarn Audio",
"activity_state": "active",
"countries": [
"Germany"
],
"genres": [
"Bass Music",
"House",
"Techno",
"Experimental",
"Ambient",
"Dark Ambient",
"Juke"
],
"urls": {
"bandcamp": "https://yarnaudio.bandcamp.com/",
"twitter": "https://twitter.com/YarnAudio",
"rss": "http://yarnaudio.com/feed",
"internet_archive": "https://archive.org/details/yarnaudio",
"facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/YarnAudio",
"soundcloud": "https://soundcloud.com/yarn-audio",
"homepage": "http://yarnaudio.com"
}
}
```
## Fields
### Label name
Key: `label_name`
Type: *String*
Example: `"Yarn Audio"`
### Activity state
Key: `activity_state`
Type: *String*
Value: Either `"active"` or `"inactive"`
Example: `"active"`
### Countries
Key: `countries`
Type: *Array*
Example:
```
"countries": [
"Germany"
],
```
In contrast to traditional labels, which are mostly based in a single country, many netlabels are based in multiple countries.
*Please note:* Even if a label is associated only with *one* country, it must be specified as an Array to be consistent.
### Description
Key: `description`
Type: *String*
Example: `"Monthly upbeat compilations"`
### Genres
Key: `genres`
Type: *Array*
Example:
```
"genres": [
"Ambient",
"Bass Music",
"Experimental"
]
```
For electronic-subgenres the styles from Discogs are being used – [Electronic Styles](https://reference.discogslabs.com/browse/style).
In addition to that the following styles were added:
- `"8-Bit"`
- `"Lo-Bit"`
- `"Live"`
- `"Warm"`
- `"Melodic"`
- `"Juke"`
Don’t enter `"Multiple Genres"` or something similar. List the individual genres or leave it empty (`"genres": []`).
### URLs
Key: `urls`
Type: *Object*
Example:
```
"urls": {
"bandcamp": "https://yarnaudio.bandcamp.com/",
"twitter": "https://twitter.com/YarnAudio",
"rss": "http://yarnaudio.com/feed",
"release_rss": "http://example.com/release/feed",
