Free music

[q_b]

So do you guys know any artists that release free music? I listen to a lot of free music and I can say it is just as good as commercial (paid) music. I am going to list a couple of artists and some releases from them, mostly electronic music but I welcome you to post any kind\genre of free music.

But before I begin let me explain how to download music off Bandcamp. I will list some links to Bandcamp pages which give you the option to donate but you can also download the release for free. When you open a Bandcamp page for an album, if you are faced with the option "Buy Now", just press the button and enter "0" as the amount of money to donate. Sometimes the site might ask you for an email address, it will subscribe you to the artist and you will receive a download link via email.

Edit: Just realized where I posted the thread. If a moderator feels the need to move the topic to General Music, it would be ok.


4mat
Download all his albums for free: http://4mat.bandcamp.com/

He is one of my favorite artists. His music is mostly Chiptune/8bit oriented but he also manages to cover a nice variety of styles.


Jophish
Download all releases for free, except "Distance [Bonus]": http://jophish.bandcamp.com/
See the other releases on the right, click on "more releases" to see all of them.

If you checked out 4mat and liked his stuff, you will like this stuff too as it is very similar in style.


Mornings
Download all the tracks for free: http://mornings.bandcamp.com/
More stuff on the right.

This is the same Jophish guy, under a different name and also with a different style of music. I strongly recommend these tracks.


Smiletron
Download all his releases for free: http://www.smiletron.org/releases

This artist's music is also Chiptune/8bit oriented, but it also blends in with other styles of music such as drum and bass.
You can stream his music on Bandcamp as well: http://smiletron.bandcamp.com/
But you can't download all the releases for free at the moment.


Sabrepulse
Download EP for free: http://sabrepulse.bandcamp.com/album/first-crush-ep

Great EP consisting of modern drum and bass and dubstep tracks, mixed with 8bit sounds.


Break Science

Great ambient\chill-out releases, a must check in my opinion!


Mosaik

Also ambient, and also great!


SH Music

Click "Download" and choose "Full Albums" or "Selected MP3". The albums can be selected by the little thumbnails at the bottom once you chose "Full Albums".

This guy's early albums are mostly rock, but are mostly electronic with 8bit sounds as well.


she
Download some albums for free: http://www.shemusic.org/
Should be self explanatory how to do it, also click on "Older Music Releases".

she is actually a he. He makes music that covers a good variety of styles, also using some 8bit elements in it.


This is it for now. I could go on for a long time, but I will post some more later. Let me know if you like any of the stuff. Also, post some free music that you know.

It's not an extensive list yet, but it will be growing. I will be posting up any free and legal mp3's I stumble across. Feel free to bookmark and keep an eye on it!

Does Mr. Oizo's "Stade 3" count?
