Net Century is a Vaporwave netlabel that debuted in 2017, founded by Clean Slate and Octa Sheffner. The label focused primarily on digital publishing, notably providing more modern output and artists relatively new to the scene. The label mainly published digital releases, but it notably published a couple releases on cassette. The label had a separate page for DJ mixes, called N.C. Radio. During activity, the label owners quietly debuted AARU GATE as a subdivision of Net Century, focusing on new age inspired ambient releases.
Although the label had varying success, it had a decrease in activity in late 2019. During this period, the label owners created TOP FLOOR as a sub-label for Net Century. TOP FLOOR notably would only publish three releases before being discontinued.
Starting in 2020, the label owners revealed their names, including revealing assisted ownership with Astroblur (who handled art direction, layout, and promotional videos) and QUEEN, owner of DATALOG. Furthermore, they announced the creation of DYNAMICS, a new label that would serve as a rebranding after Net Century's inactivity. DYNAMICS would continue publication for a few months before becoming inactive as well. The owners would later announce that they were unsatisfied with the direction of the label, and following this the label continued publishing, starting by re-uploading all releases from previous sub-labels and the release of BETWEEN SPIRITS.
This continuation was short lived however, as the owners would later reveal that BETWEEN SPIRITS would be the final release on Net Century and would cease operation, emphasizing that none of the current owners no longer had the time investment needed to continue managing.[1] During 2021, several past releases would be published on cassette through Shatterfoil Industries in a special partnership.
In 2022, Clean Slate released Outbound through the label's Bandcamp page, which mainly served as an update on the owners' activity after discontinuation, as well as to announce Clean Slate's label ANGEL.
