thread of free music
Posted on: 31.07.2012 by Cole Maroto
i did a quick search and haven't really seen a legit free music thread on here so i figured i would start one. i don't have a lot of excess cash so i love it when artists and labels give out stuff for free, it makes me dig them even more.

please post free tracks in here, but make sure they are being given away by the artists or labels themselves. please try to list the genre as well. found any good soundcloud artists or labels you want to share? let us know.

i know some of you are going to say this is no fun and the digging is the greatest part...i agree to some extent and i will still dig but i don't have enough time in the day to do everything i want with music and a full time job so i love a little guidance every now and then.

well let me kick this off with one most of you guys probably already know about, but in case you don't here's pretty lights music:

they currently have 8 free releases that you can grab on the right under their discography. it seems like there's a new one every month so keep you eyes and ears peeled.

this one is for the producers and djs that want to spice up their sets with samples and loops. i stumbled across the beatport presents sounds/to/sample beta where they have a bunch of free stuff. the rub is that i can't figure out how to show the entire free catalog at once. you can however, keep refreshing the home page and the selection of 3 free samples at the bottom changes. this is not tied into your beatport account so you have to make a new one there. have fun with some new ammo!

nice addition. too bad i completely burned myself out on dubstep or i would be all over this. great for the right people though.

ming and fs were an awesome duo but sadly they went their separate ways. ming went more down the electro route while fs took a shining to dubstep.

here's an awesomely groovin' kelis remix ming did:
http://soundcloud.com/ming/kelis-acapella-ming-remix
funky town

you can check his soundcloud for other free songs if you are into electro vibes:
http://soundcloud.com/ming/tracks
mostly electro

to see what fs has been up to head to soundcloud and grab his free tracks:
http://soundcloud.com/the1fs/tracks
dubstep/drumstep

i'll leave you with one of their classic tunes from '99. great hip hop tune with drum and bass bits.

this probably doesn't fit the scope of the site very well, especially for djing (although i did manage to fit a bunch of poppy rock songs into a deep house set a while back - jellyfish, jason faulker, brendan benson, better than ezra). i really loved blinker the star many years ago. well, jordon zadorozny started a project with sofia silva about 8 years ago and i was excited to hear more. they finally released a 7 track album you can grab from their bandcamp. so with no genre discrimination here is abbey!

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/ is the place where I get my favourite music. You'd be willing to search the better ones, but there's definitively a lot of great free amateur music.

Bass / Dubstep?

Remix of Akira by Hastrakt for Koan Sound - Seems it was never Offically released so they are giving it away for free

Not my taste - but maybe someone will find a use for it.

Glitch Mob has played there also. It's Memorial Day weekend every year and only a couple of hours for you, I'm in San Fran so it's a 7 hour drive for me and we go every year.

yeah, i hear ya but i wanted to include it since it seems like it produced fairly well and someone may dig it in our current age of dubstep. i believe more people are starting to add flac as an option too. i've seen it several times on artist's bandcamp pages.

Came across these soundclouds without actually putting effort in the search. Again a shit load of it's free. BUT the songs are a bit of an acquired taste. (dubstep)

http://soundcloud.com/numboy/tracks?page=2 I linked page 2 because I was on page 2. Deal with it.
http://soundcloud.com/flexa-dubstep/tracks?page=2 Again page 2. But all pages have free stuff tho.


Also pro tip that I use all the time. Find promotion channels on youtube and search on the channel "free"

EPs for daaaaaays man. Daaaaaays.

this is probably not something i would personally spin anymore but maybe some of you djtters will like it and be able to fit it into your sets. anyhow it's free, so check it out.
