blocSonic Celebrates Netlabel Day 2026 With A Quadruple Drop

Eleven years of Netlabel Day. Four blocSonic drops in one afternoon. Let’s go.

Netlabel Day is the annual celebration of a stubborn idea — that music can be given away, shared freely and still mean something. blocSonic’s been showing up for it since the beginning, and this year we’re not showing up empty-handed.

Four releases. All free. All Creative Commons. All in FLAC, MP3 and OGG.

P.U.C.K. deliver “Ultimate Party Album,” a ten-track disasterpiece built in one Japanese room in August 2025 — their tenth album on the label. KAKKI holds the door open for “Outskirts of P.U.C.K. Land,” a three-track maxBloc where the cru wanders past the city limits, satellite heist and all. Donnie Ozone fires up the grill with Cheese N Pot-C on “Background Music For A Barbecue,” his 25th blocSonic release and fifth this year. And Kyoto beatmaker Y.K.Beats returns for round two with “Never Off Always On,” a fortyFive shootout with CNP and Donnie riding shotgun.

Common threads? The Warner brothers are everywhere. Donnie Ozone is everywhere. Somebody’s always reaching for a beer.

Here’s what landed.

Round Up The Rowdys: P.U.C.K. Drop "Ultimate Party Album"

There’s a difference between a group that emails files back and forth and a group that’s all crammed into the same room, in the same timezone, yelling at the same laptop.

“Ultimate Party Album” is the second kind.

Long John flew to Japan. Cheese and Pot-C were already there. August 2025, one room, ideas fired off and dumped straight into the machine. No waiting. No revisions folder. P.U.C.K. call it “disasterpiece theater,” and the phrase does a lot of heavy lifting. This is even closer to that old-skool 90s feel than last year’s "10:59" — a few pieces got beamed back and forth after Long John flew home, sure, but the foundation was already built and mostly built out of empties.

Ten tracks. Titles like “Beer Me, Arlo!,” “Do The Rapsquatch,” “Family Mang” and “Mumbo Jumbo No. 9” — which, if you’ve spent any time with the Previously Unknown Canadian Kids, you already know exactly what you’re in for. Donnie Ozone drops by on “Beer In The Boxx.” Cheese takes the closer solo with a pile of scratches and noises. And somewhere in the artwork, the font from Rush’s “Roll The Bones” is hiding. Go find it. Consider that your quest.

Album number ten for P.U.C.K. at blocSonic. That’s a lot of years of the brothers Warner and their Canadian co-conspirator refusing to grow up in public, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s Netlabel Day — eleven years of celebrating this weird, generous corner of music — and this is one of four blocSonic drops landing today. Free, Creative Commons, in FLAC, MP3 and OGG, with full art and a 40+ page PDF booklet packed with liner-notes and lyrics you’ll want to read twice.

Grab yerself a case of brew. Round up the rowdys.

Press play.

P.U.C.K. is back in the hizowse! Mega blocSonic thanx to the whole crew for comin’ through! Dopadelic.

Beer Me, Arlo

Donnie Ozone and Cheese N Pot-C Cater Netlabel Day

Eleven years of Netlabel culture. Eleven years of independent labels giving music away because that’s the whole point. Donnie Ozone has never missed one. Not once. The man treats Netlabel Day like a national holiday, and this year he’s not celebrating alone.

“Background Music For A Barbecue” pulls in Cheese N Pot-C — the Port Coquitlam brothers who’ve been on blocSonic since 2014, recording since 1989, and currently plotting from southern Kyushu. Three mics. Three verses. One backyard.

Cheese opens with cool treats and picnic table chilling. Donnie catches feelings over a beautiful feast and a beautiful beast in a white crop top. Pot-C shows up channeling Dave Thomas, bustin’ mustard, relishin’ the relish like it’s caviar. Somewhere in there, an A-Team reference makes your yard a space jam. The refrain does exactly what refrains should do — plants a flag and refuses to leave.

This is Donnie’s 25th blocSonic release. His fifth this year. He’s also guested on 36 releases by other artists on the roster (including 3 today!), which makes him less “artist” and more “connective tissue.”

Speakers on the lawn till dawn. Go get it.

Yo… mad props to Donnie Ozone and CNP! The perfect collabo to kick off Netlabel Day with!

Fire Up The Grill

KAKKI Opens the Door to the Outskirts

P.U.C.K. is back, and this time KAKKI’s holding the door open. “KAKKI presents P.U.C.K.: Outskirts of P.U.C.K. Land” is a three-track maxBloc landing today for Netlabel Day — the online celebration of netlabel culture now in its eleventh year. It’s one of four blocSonic drops for the occasion, and it’s the one where the P.U.C.K. cru wanders past the city limits.

If you’ve been following along, you know the drill. P.U.C.K. is a side project of the Warner brothers, better known as Cheese N Pot-C. Long John rounds out the crew. They’ve made Netlabel Day their annual playground — “Reburied Treasure” and “10:59” last year, “3 Bags Short Of A Bender” in 2022 — and they show up every time with the same combination of dense wordplay and total disregard for decorum.

The title track is a three-headed introduction, each emcee staking claim to a different corner of P.U.C.K. Land. “Regressive Engineering” turns the anti-AI rant into a domestic comedy — Pot-C wants a robot that does dishes, mows the lawn and folds laundry, and instead we got deepfakes and dead streams. And “2000 Astros” brings back Donnie Ozone for another chapter of the ongoing satellite-heist saga, with the crew now setting their sights on Hubble and James Webb. Twelve billion in gear. Trading it for beer. Naturally.

Oh snap! More KAKKI N P.U.C.K. Fire! Many thanks to the crew!

Enter P.U.C.K. Land

Y.K.Beats Brings the Head-Nod Back to the Wild West

The saloon doors just swung open. Duck.

Y.K.Beats is back. The Kyoto beatmaker who crash-landed on blocSonic last May with Soul On Tape returns for round two — and he’s brought a posse. “Never Off Always On” is a fortyFive built like a spaghetti-western shootout, with the MPC as the fastest draw in the territory.

Riding shotgun: Cheese N Pot-C. The brother duo trade verses like gunfire and return fire — Pot-C swinging first, Cheese answering cold and precise. Then Cheese reaches for his other weapon, the turntable, and cuts the title phrase to ribbons on the hook.

And through the crowd, one more silhouette: Donnie Ozone. The reunion that’s been simmering since the Tape, finally delivered.

Y.K.Beats has been at this since ’93 — DJ first, beatmaker next, finger drummer most recently. He’s not out to reinvent the wheel. He’s out to make sure it rattles your trunk. Dusty drums, iron-bar kicks, zero filler.

Two tracks: the full shootout, plus the instrumental for the beat purists and the EMCEEs who’d rather write their own verses.

Never off. Always on.

Hell yeah… Y.K.Beats, Cheese N Pot-C and Donnie Ozone have dropped some fire for heads to BUMP! Props to you all.
