New label from Plump DJs-Free download available now:

Soft Phase is a netlabel that distributes freely downloadable, Creative Commons licensed music on the internet. There’s a wide range of music styles, electronic or acoustic, but the amount of releases is limited.

One of the albums we like most is from Mosaik called “Leandi”. It’s melodic and ambient electronic music with an surprising high quality (to be free). Like the people behind Soft Phase told us, these artists are passionate about their music and it shows.

Mosaik is Swedish. The music has slightly retro styled mood to it, where melodies are the heart of it all, truly faithful to his unique style. And while the surrounding sounds carries a modern edge, all this together makes you wish the atmosphere and the warmth from the songs would remain in the room long time after it has finished playing.

Remember our yesterday post about the free creative commons techo netlabel Offaudio? Well, today we present another netlabel that releases techno music into the CC community.

Meet thinner. thinner is a German label offering electronic music since 1998 and has accumulated over two million mp3 downloads.

The techno genre, found at thinner, can be described as “dub-inspired” i.e. some permutation of a fusion of dub with house, techno, or even ambient music. Some is defined as “dubby techhouse” or “ntelligent dub”. You’ll find “minimalism” as well, although dub-influences are clearly the predominant inspiration behind the general flavor of the thinner sound.

It has been a while since we had a truly free music download, but hey, here it is: Chromeo – Night by Night.

Chromeo is Pee Thugg and Dave 1: best friends since their adolescence and virtuoso musicians. Pee and Dave met in 1993. “I really didn’t like him at first,” Pee recalls, “because I was with mostly hip hop kids and he was hanging out with the skaters and listening to rock and roll.” But bonding over their shared love for funk, the two became inseparable. After spending the last couple of years in support of their triumphant Fancy Footwork album, Chromeo teamed up with Green Label Sound to offer a sneak peak of their upcoming musical odyssey, and their first original song since 2007: the heroic, guitar-laded, disco masterpiece “Night by Night.”
