Certainly, they do have independent music, but mostly procured through "independent" labels. We are truly indie and all our music is directly uploaded by the artists here http://musicfellas.com/artist

In addition to this, we make discovery super simple and you can also support the artists by buying their music.

We do have non-english music, unfortunately there is no easy way to search by language right now. We should have that up soon.

Does this mean you have chosen not to work with labels (indie or otherwise) or just that the majority of takeup has been from unsigned artists?

We have only chosen not to work with non-indie labels. We are all about independent music only. We've approached and been approached by indie labels too, however most of them demand a minimum upfront payment, which isn't the best thing to do for us. So as of now 90% of the music has been procured directly from the artists (not necessarily unsigned but signed with non-exclusive deal).
