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:

check out navene k! he's part of animals as leaders (http://animalsasleaders.bandcamp.com/album/weightless)
and does some really wicked drumming and drum programming. his solo stuff is more in the realm of dubstepish sounds, so grab a free download from his bandcamp. as always, if you like it, feel free to donate some money his way cause he's a really cool cat.

@ woodymadison... Well web sites like LimeWire and BearShare were not really legal and alot of people got into trouble using sites like that, ot to mention all the little bugs you picked up from using the sites. The sites I have suggested are legal dj pools that by providing your input and reviews you are paying for the tracks with your time and ideas aiding the production and record companies better promote and create thier products. Personally I believe that dj's should not have to pay for music as they did back in the day, often dj's were paid to play tracks or offered records for free in hopes that they would promote the music and help create awareness so the artists could fill their venues when having live shows. Alas Beatport and other dj services make a bunch of money on those that help the industry prosper. Still with that said, there are some sites that are willing to give you what you deserve for your expertise, you simply have to seek them out!!

I didn't get to read all 128 pages of this thread, though I did see quite a few awesome sites for the techy dubby sites that I have been looking for... my contribution for free tunes....

hip hop & RnB from www.digiwaxx.com they have quite a bit of new hip hop and each song is available in different formats, ie clean, dirty, accapella, instrumental... ect... you do have to rate the song while you preview it to download but the minute it takes to review it is worth not having to shell out the cash!!

Also worth checking out is.,..
www.worksessions.com they offer a mix of different music and also have a review format... a wider variety of music styles and genre's than digiwaxx!

I hope this helps and thanks to the users who mentioned the free dub and house sites... very helpful indeed!!!

so this is pretty far from the scope of this site i believe, but sometimes something is so good i need to share it here. check out this album, it's seriously brilliant! wow wow wow! i can't really imagine djing this, but i'm going to listen to it over and over again in my car for at least a week. it's crazy what a college student in portland can create.

i did all the work and picked out the freebies from their releases but check them all out, because they are pretty hot. you can probably find something you dig.

i believe that's it for this evenings edition of free awesome beats from bandcamp. time to unwind with some tea and scotch.

i like this but i'll have to admit it's a little bit of a guilty pleasure with all the trance elements. they can tend to sound a little cheesy to my ears, but that's just me. it's still worth a listen and i believe the vocal cuts around 2:45 bring the song up a level for me. i also love the aux percussion and the pads near the end.
