Soulseek peer to peer technology.

Soulseek

After Napster you needed to look for filesharing applications, enter soulseek. An application verymuch like napster that sought to connect people through their music tastes. It spawned rooms dedicated to hard to find tracks and albums of electronic music genres. Breakcore, dubstep, house, you name it, people were creating communities of peers with their shared interest in a techno salad of channels.

Birth of Psy-Sci

When I joined soulseek, I was hopping around other filesharing applications like imesh, audiogalaxy, scourexchange, limewire, efnet. Every so often I would join an online community often leading to producing something for them and when I joined soulseek, I found a place where artists were artists thrived by collaborating together. I particpated in voting on their first compilation while collaborating on the second concept compilation album of theirs called the One Minute MAssacre Volume 1.

SLSK Compilation v.1

The first album/Competition

The beginnings og netlabels and soulseek records.

Best Electoric Music Producer

Tracks were collected and voting would take place determining the final tracks on the album. When it was said and done Automater Reason came out on top with a bunch of other hard hitters making the tracklist in order.

Soulseek Records

The final product needed a place to live and be sold, distributed, and promoted. Soulseekrecords.com was born. It became a place that hosted the future compilations and would even serve as a peer to peer sample and song sharing application itself. We would hold our own contests, projects and publish them together.
