SOund36 (sound36.com) is an independent online music culture magazine founded in Berlin in 2008. Its name comes from SO36, the Cold War-era postal code for Berlin's Kreuzberg district, and it carries on the area's spirit of alternative counterculture. It currently focuses on producing content about music, art, and performance in Italian.
The website has more than 10 segmented columns focused on music culture, including artist interviews, album reviews, show coverage, industry columns, gaming culture, and more. It hosts thousands of existing articles, also covers art exhibitions and performance events, has established media partnerships with multiple universities and jazz festivals, and offers both text/image news and video content. It supports following updates via social platforms and RSS subscriptions.
On the plus side, the website operates independently as a non-commercial project, so its viewpoints are not influenced by commercial capital. It focuses on uncovering non-mainstream, niche musicians and provides content space for creators who lack exposure. It has a clear, distinct cultural positioning, and its content offers greater depth than general entertainment news platforms.
The drawbacks are very obvious: the entire site only supports Italian, so it has an extremely high language barrier; some content is marked as copyright-protected and cannot be accessed normally, creating broken browsing experiences; repeated cookie notification pop-ups appear over and over, hurting browsing smoothness.
The website can currently be accessed directly from China, no VPN/proxy required. It is a good source of content for Italian speakers, researchers of European and American independent music, and niche culture lovers. Due to the language barrier, ordinary Chinese users can barely use it at all, so it is not recommended for general music fans.
