{{Short description|British independent electronica and post rock record label}} {{Use dmy dates|date=August 2015}} {{Use British English|date=August 2015}} {{More citations needed|date=January 2011}} '''Loca Records''' is a British independent [[electronica]] and [[post rock]] [[record label]] based in [[Brighton]], England. All the music, artwork and videos are released under [[copyleft]] licenses and distributed physically on [[gramophone record|vinyl]], [[Compact disc|CD]], and [[compact audio cassette|cassette]]. Inspired by the [[free software]] movement, Loca Records allows similar freedoms as the [[GNU General Public License]] on their releases, including copying, re-release, modification, and sampling, with the requirement that the new work uses the same license.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.intelligentagent.com/archive/Vol4_No2_copyright_eyebeam.htm|title=Copyright Eyebeam|website=Intelligentagent.com|accessdate=2020-05-03}}</ref> == Artists == The roster of artists releasing work on LOCA Records<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.locarecords.com/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070707103715/http://www.locarecords.com/discography.html|url-status=dead|title=Loca Records | Musica, ocio e información|archivedate=7 July 2007|website=Loca Records}}</ref> includes the following; * Dot * [[David Meme|Meme]] ''(David Meme)'' * Maz Plant Out ''(Marion Bouyssonnade – chant, corps sonores; Fleur Galasso – piano, guitare, chant; Mylène Duhec – basse, violoncelle; Widad Abdessemed – violon; Laurent Bouyssonade – batterie)'' * ML * OJN ''(currently released on Arkward Silence)'' * Snø * Ward ''(David Meme and Richard Williams, also released on Static Caravan)'' * Xan ''(featuring Lisa Elle from [[Dark Horses (band)|Dark Horses]])'' == Licensing == Loca's first and second release in [[1999 in music|1999]], ''Kinematic'' and the ''Mandibles EP'', were released under the [[GNU General Public License]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/policy/2005/04/04/cclicenseinUK.html|title=O'Reilly Network: Some Rights Reserved|date=24 April 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050424082444/http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/policy/2005/04/04/cclicenseinUK.html|accessdate=1 September 2020|archive-date=24 April 2005}}</ref> and subsequent releases have been on the [[Electronic Frontier Foundation|EFF]] [[Open Audio License]]. Loca is now releasing all work under the [[Creative Commons]] license known as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/music-business/creative-commons-copyright-independent-musician|title=Creative Commons, Copyright & The Independent Musician|website=Soundonsound.com|accessdate=2020-05-03}}</ref> One notable difference between the Creative Commons license and [[free software license|free]]/[[open source license|open source]] licenses, such as the GPL, is that it does not require making the raw unmixed tracks available, whereas free/open source software has the underlying source code available. Loca is planning a true [[free content]]/open source release with the new ML album which will contain a selection of samples used to make the track along with the music on a computer-readable data section of the CD. == Finance == Loca receives money from selling CDs and Records. Following the example of free and open source software distributors, this money is reinvested in new talent and to encourage more experimentation. == Discography == === Albums === * LOCA003 ''[[Eudaimonia (album)|Eudaimonia]]'' Meme (2001) * LOCA004 ''[[It's Not Necessarily Your Height It Could Be Your Feet]]'' Ward (2002) * LOCA006 ''Affectivity'' Meme (2003) * LOCA009 ''[[It Might Be Useful For Us To Know]]'' Ward (2005) === Singles and EPs === * LOCA001 ''[[Kinematic EP]]'' Meme (1999) * LOCA002 ''[[Mandibles EP]]'' Meme (2001) * LCOA005 ''ML'' ML (2003) * LOCA007 ''[[Chansons Pour Pendus EP]]'' Maz Plant Out (2004) * LOCA008 ''[[24 EP]]'' Meme versus Xan (2004) ===Music videos=== * LOCA00A ''Invisible (Meme)''. 2002.
