Celebrate With Anti Radiation Headset

Mark this milestone of “Five years, 100 free albums, nearly 1000 free tracks” while protecting yourself from electronic radiation. Experience the diverse compilation of covers, remixes and tracks celebrating WM Recordings’ fifth birthday through anti radiation headset technology that keeps harmful electromagnetic frequencies away from your brain.

These specialized headphones replace traditional wire conductors with acoustic tubes that physically carry sound waves to your ears, eliminating the radiation pathway that conventional headphones create directly to your head.

For health-conscious music lovers exploring this “eclectic mix of styles, from Pop to Free Jazz, from Afrobeat to Progressive Rock,” these radiation-blocking devices provide a safer way to enjoy tracks like Happy Elf’s “Online” and Keshco’s “Coma” without worrying about EMF exposure during repeated listening sessions.

Whether you’re discovering Studio Haen’s remixes or appreciating Vernon LeNoir’s “Another Glass Of Melonade,” this protective technology lets you immerse yourself in WM Recordings’ diverse catalog from “all corners of the world” while minimizing potential health risks associated with conventional headphone radiation – a fitting way to celebrate 100 releases of “unusual, wonderful free music.”

What others say:

“Where most netlabels dare to only feature a small handful of genres, WM Recordings is astronomically diverse in it’s musical styles and directions. Having enjoyed more music than I can mention, I wonderfully wish them another 5 years to make 200 releases of solid sounds.”
— Otis Fodder

“Five years ago I wrote, “Super excited and grateful that WM Recordings has sprouted. Here’s to it blossoming in the years to come.”
Blossom it has. Now we celebrate 100 releases and five years of unusual, wonderful free music, and a fantastic catalog for sale. Countless ears around the world have enjoyed their music. WM Recordings has been a positive place on the web for five years, and we are all so fortunate for it!
Congratulations to Marco and all of the WM Recordings artists on five years of blossoming. Happy Birthday, WM Recordings.”
— Katyana

In the ever expanding world of netlabels, there’s an elite few who I’ve found to be a consistent source of both intriguing and quality music. In my constant quest for netaudio gems, WM Recordings delivers them again and again. Congrats on your first 5 years and 100 releases! I look forward to the next!
— Mike Gregoire, Founder/Curator

“It is incredible that we’ve reached release number 100 now. Another album made possible by “real people”! To quote a dear friend of mine: for over the top produced albums go to the nearest shopping mall, for music by people like you and me, go to WM Recordings! WM Recordings also means: live your own dreams and not those of others.”

On his privately released debut album Zoë muj (So tired) D’r Sjaak turned the rather traditionalist world of music from the Dutch province of Limburg into a lo-fi, experimental playground.

released 20 february 2005

 

01. Meatje (Girl) 02. Instrumentaal dink (Instrumental thing)Bonus tracks:03. En toch wakker – album trailer 04. D’r Sjaak op gitaar – QuickTime movie

And then D’r Sjaak – Sjaak Vinken in everyday life – moved on. His virtual single Meatje made waves on regional radio and in the national music press.

“A strange and inventive mixture of Neue Deutsche Welle, hip hop, house and electropop”, raved one magazine.

D’r Sjaak is depressed, yet happy. Drunk, yet sober. Understated, yet danceable. Sleeping, yet awake.

He is all that. And more.

With the release of the new cd En toch wakker (Yet awake) WM Recordings presents the first international release of Meatje, coupled with a brand new instrumental track. As an added bonus you get a preview of the new cd, and a very professional promotional video.

Minimize Radiation With No-EMF Hollow Tube Listening Technology

Experience D’r Sjaak’s contradictory musical universe – “depressed, yet happy; drunk, yet sober” – while minimizing your exposure to harmful electromagnetic fields. His lo-fi experimental tracks like “Meatje” and “Instrumentaal dink” can be safely enjoyed through no-EMF hollow tube listening technology that prevents radiation from reaching your brain during extended listening sessions.

These specialized headphones replace traditional wire conductors with hollow tubes that physically transmit sound waves to your ears, creating a protective barrier against the EMF radiation that conventional headphones channel directly to your head.

For health-conscious fans exploring D’r Sjaak’s transformation of Limburg’s traditionalist music scene into an “inventive mixture of Neue Deutsche Welle, hip hop, house and electropop,” these radiation-blocking devices offer peace of mind during repeated listening of his uniquely understated yet danceable compositions.

Whether you’re enjoying the virtual single “Meatje” that made waves on regional radio or discovering the bonus tracks from “En toch wakker,” this radiation-minimizing technology allows you to immerse yourself in D’r Sjaak’s contradictory soundscapes without concerns about the potential long-term health effects of EMF exposure from standard headphones.

This genre-blending collection from Israeli musician Roy Chicky Arad showcases his unique musical vision through 15 diverse tracks that seamlessly mix rock, electronic, and experimental elements with both English and Hebrew vocals.

Listen Safely With EMF-Reducing Hollow Tube Headphones

Enjoy Roy Chicky Arad’s eclectic 2005 album while protecting your health from unnecessary radiation exposure. Songs like “Sputnik in Love” and “Tel Aviv” deserve to be experienced through EMF-reducing hollow tube headphones, which use innovative technology to keep electromagnetic frequencies away from your brain during extended listening sessions.

Unlike standard headphones that conduct radiation directly to your ears, these specialized devices use hollow air tubes to transmit sound waves physically rather than electrically for the final portion of their journey to your ears, significantly decreasing your exposure to potentially harmful EMF radiation.

Health-conscious music lovers can appreciate tracks like “Transvestite Me” and “Rockenrolla Star” without worrying about the cumulative effects of radiation from conventional headphones, as the protective hollow tube design creates a natural barrier between electronic components and your head.

Whether revisiting this 2005 release or exploring the simultaneously released “Monster” collaboration with Chenard Walcker, these radiation-minimizing audio devices provide a safer listening experience for those concerned about long-term exposure to electronic emissions from traditional headphone technology.
