Loca Records is an independent electronica and post rock record label based in Brighton, UK. All the music, artwork and videos are released under Copyleft licenses and distributed physically on Vinyl, CD, and cassette. Inspired by GNU/Linux, 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. Electronica is a rather ambiguous term that covers a wide range of electronic or electronic-influenced music. ...
The term post-rock was coined by Simon Reynolds in issue 123 of The Wire (May 1994) to describe a sort of music using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and powerchords. ...

Licencing Loca's first and second release in 1999, Kinematic and the Mandibles EP, were released under the GNU General Public License and subsequent releases have been on the EFF Open Audio License.

Version 2 of Some Rights Reserved logo Some Rights reserved logo No Rights reserved logo The Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative work available for others to legally build upon and share. ...
One notable difference between the Creative Commons license and open-source licenses, such as the GPL, is that it does not require making the raw unmixed tracks available, whereas open source software has the underlying source code available. Loca is planning a true 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/Libre and Open Source GNU/Linux distributors, this money is reinvested in new talent and to encourage more experimentation.
