For example, take Mo'Wax from back in the day. Under James Lavelle they cultivated an impressive collection of up and coming artists in the electronica scene. Finding similar artists became a breeze by browsing through their artist roster. Similar things can be said about Breakin' Bread and Metalheadz
Problem is that record labels became to large and too broad. Their only real purpose to create revenue instead of giving exposure to artists.
I think that netlabels have to start being as selective and driven as real labels.. Look at Jahtari, they have a good, clear "image" and are very consistent.
