Fair Trade Music Friday is back!

Last year the Fair Trade Music Friday platform provided a super way for people to discover great music on selected Fridays.

Fresh from a little hibernation its now back, awake, alive, kicking and raring to go again!

If you’re a musician and would like to feature a release you have listed on a Fair Music Platform, simply follow @ftmf and reply to its toot on a Fair Trade Music Friday with a link and description for the release. Your release will then feature over at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day!

28 Days Later (& What a Week!)

This past week has been tremendous in terms of Fedi releases.

It began on Monday with the release of the Comfy Collaborations album by various artists which was eloquently reviewed by @inpc.

Then came two excellent single releases: Dancing and Kissing by Bitplanes (@bazkie) and Cities by @sknob.

The week was capped off perfectly with the launch of @meljoann’s latest album, Status, which included a well-attended live streamed launch party.

This super release week also marked the fourth week since NHAM launched as an online music platform for Fedi artists who distribute their music on Fair Platforms. We’ve now been live for 28 full days and astonishingly we’re averaging unique daily visitor numbers well in to four figures already!

It’s testament to the thriving and growing indie music scene in the Fedi and on the fair platforms.

A huge thank you to everyone involved and everyone supporting, listening, watching and reading!

Bandcamp Friday is coming soon. You can get my albums in hi-res, some including scores, all including booklets and 100% of the revenue is for the artist. This is truely fair trade and fair music in times of art extractivism and digital mass robbery through AI models. https://jojena.bandcamp.com/ #bandcamp #fairmusic #digitalmusic

Track on the June NHAM #mixtape
is ‘Home’ by @cobalt

I came across Cobalt from the fantastically Euro-pop track, ‘Versio’, written for Fedivision 2024.

Cobalt is a Finnish musician and linguist, and ‘Home’ is the perfect opener to the very first NHAM mix tape.

Have a listen and let me know what you think!

Every time I check the @mirlo Kickstarter page the amount increases.

Just over 3 days to go and they're so close to their funding goal. Surely they'll make it now, which is very exciting!
