Well.. I hesitate to say this.. but I think that's what BonkWave has become for a bunch of us.
The listening parties for each release are a great way to build that camaraderie and have fun.
It's a bit more insular than Fedivision but not intentionally so, and we are continually growing and adapting with every release.
It also removes any competitive aspect - everyone's just supportive - there's no need for winners.
I also hesitate to say it because I don't want to come across as someone who always needs to grumble, and there's quite obviously a lot of marvelous stuff… but somehow I never warmed to BonkWave. I know what it is (not! ;-)) but I've always had my problems marching under a banner, even if it's a non-banner.
Yeah that old complicated anti mind of me.
Just putting music out there and people hear it and take it for what it is, that's my dream… ;-)
(that said, I have some tracks for the offline album that sound decidedly bonkwavish to me… ;-))
Well, no single thing is likely to work for everyone. but I see "BonkWave" more as just a community-run record label these days, as much as anything else.

The community is the thing, and RFF, FediVision and bonkwave (and not bonkwave) are the three (and a half) pillars of the community. I still pinch myself some days.
