One might be tempted to ask: “...where did we leave off?” In the sweltering August of 2023, Nostress Netlabel suspended its activity due to the relentless rise of free streaming platforms which, in a way, rendered obsolete small, self-funded labels that, beyond releasing digital music for free download, produced limited-edition CDs and vinyl records available via donations and engaged artists from all over the world by participating in and organising live events both locally and further afield; all at the label’s own expense, which had always sustained its work through truly immense effort.
Today, all that remains is the story of an experience that enabled Nostress, for a certain period, to become a bridge-crossroads across the Mediterranean, connecting musical cultures from all corners of Europe, stretching as far as Russia, Thailand and Oceania. All of this has always been a source of immense pride and must therefore be preserved for posterity. Today, many bands have split up, many artists no longer play at all, and many pubs have closed down. Our continued presence stands as irrefutable proof of all that talent and experience – documented and immortalised in a city that has been through so much and is constantly changing.
Nostress Netlabel is relaunching with an updated design compatible with all the latest and most modern devices, though with very strict criteria for digital releases. We will only consider music of the highest calibre that deserves a place in our catalogues.
Long live Nostress Netlabel!

Si potrebbe essere tentati di chiedersi: «...a che punto eravamo rimasti?» Nel torrido agosto del 2023, Nostress Netlabel ha sospeso la propria attività a causa dell’inesorabile ascesa delle piattaforme di streaming gratuite che, in un certo senso, hanno reso obsolete le piccole etichette autofinanziate che, oltre a pubblicare musica digitale scaricabile gratuitamente, producevano CD e dischi in vinile in edizione limitata disponibili tramite donazioni e coinvolgevano artisti da tutto il mondo partecipando e organizzando eventi dal vivo sia a livello locale che più lontano; il tutto a spese dell’etichetta stessa, che aveva sempre sostenuto il proprio lavoro con uno sforzo davvero immenso.
Oggi, tutto ciò che rimane è la storia di un’esperienza che ha permesso a Nostress, per un certo periodo, di diventare un ponte e un crocevia attraverso il Mediterraneo, collegando culture musicali provenienti da ogni angolo d’Europa, spingendosi fino alla Russia, alla Thailandia e all’Oceania. Tutto questo è sempre stato motivo di immenso orgoglio e deve quindi essere preservato per i posteri. Oggi, molte band si sono sciolte, molti artisti non suonano più e molti pub hanno chiuso i battenti. La nostra presenza costante è la prova inconfutabile di tutto quel talento e di quell’esperienza – documentati e immortalati in una città che ne ha passate tante e che è in continua evoluzione.
Nostress Netlabel si rilancia con un design aggiornato, compatibile con tutti i dispositivi più recenti e moderni, pur mantenendo criteri molto rigorosi per le pubblicazioni digitali. Prenderemo in considerazione solo musica di altissimo livello che meriti un posto nei nostri cataloghi.
Lunga vita a Nostress Netlabel!

Events
Nostress Netlabel does not have a booking agency, but it occasionally promotes selected artists, giving them the opportunity to perform live improvised sets in theaters, pubs and cultural, historical or tourist venues, so as to showcase their skills and gain wider visibility. The netlabel can also act as a media partner for musical and cultural events, using its own web platforms and equipment to circulate information about the artists, promote the events themselves and distribute the online music catalog.
Many events are described in Italian only.
