About.


Soundcheck is one word a day, drawn from the vocabulary of independent music — the gear, the formats, the scene, the business. Six tries. The first letter is on the house. Then the word gets its story.

Where it comes from

Mitxoda is an indie music and creative ecosystem: a magazine, a radio show called Le Salon Indie, a Top 100, and a Friday newsletter. It is independent and ad-free, built for people who still dig through crates.

Soundcheck is the smallest room in that house. It takes a minute a day, and if it leaves you with one word you did not have before — acetate, gatefold, fanzine — it has done its job.

Who makes it

Mitxoda is run by Advice That srl, from Brussels.

The rest of it

mitxoda.be — the magazine
Le Salon Indie — the radio show
Top 100 Indie — the list
Mitxoda Weekly — every Friday
