Free music sources..?
Apologies if this has been covered before but I couldn’t find any previous threads on the subject so…
Best sources for free music? And I mean music that the artist is giving free downloads. Is there an easier way than trawling through Soundcloud and the like, something that collates the give-aways? I’m in search of a time saving method..
Personally I think searching (digging, sifting in old terms) is part of the passion that goes with DJing.
Searching for stuff is time well spent.
The more time i save the more time i waste getting nothing done.
But in answer to your question, http://rcrdlbl.com/ give free stuff out.
Like karlos said, digging is half the fun! also, you might wanna add creative commons to your searches, a lot of the artists that give their music away will distribute this way 
Wants to DJ but cant be bothered looking for music. what do you think we all have to do exactly?
Just check out beatport and Beatmyday.com every day and you should be fine
sometimes I get few unreleased tracks off Reverbnation, Facebook pages etc.
Searching for stuff is more fun. I tend to go for the really unknown stuff, that has like 20 listens. BUT it still has to be good.
jesus pose 24/7
add “free netrelease” “netlabel” to your search ^^
Heres a good tip: Search on youtube “Insert genre name here” Promotion.
Then search, click filter up at the top and select channels, Usually there’s shit tons of free downloads and most of it is good stuff.
(Make sure it is relatively unknown, you won’t be getting any free downloads from UKF for example)
Find an artist on the channel that you like, check there soundcloud if they got any free downloads that are fit, grab em’. Then move on to the people he is following or his followers.
This also gives you your own sound, so you’re not playing the same junk everyone else plays.
Scion A/V often releases free EPs from good artists (Nadastrom, 12th Planet, Skream and Benga to name a few.)
These guys release free 320kbs EP’s.
Big up ! Thanks man.
And also just desperate yet talented artists FTW !
Just scour soundcloud like a villain and grab those free beats

Hmm I used to love trawling record stores, but clicking a mouse round traxsource and beatport is a pain in the fucking ass
That’s precisely it. Spending hours flicking through web pages just isn’t the same.
Thanks for all the constructive advice. I agree about virtual crate digging but at the same time, if I can listen to 100 tracks by using a resource that collates stuff or a system that works, my time is better spent than someone else listening to half of that number or less and the rest of the time clicking through, waiting for things to buffer etc…
I still don’t understand why people bother putting snide remarks to questions like this, thanks again for the pointers.
Buffering times is what bugs me. I dunno about you but i live in the French countryside. Download speed is maximum 128kb per second. So if i wanna download a 40mb album it takes round 10 mins
Usually more since the usual DL speed in my room is about 50kbs per second 
I’m in Mexico at the moment and have the same problem. Internet connectivity aside, it’s fucking dreamy here.
I’m partial to Jamendo.com myself. Lots of stuff to look through that is just so-so, but it’s all free and there’s some real gems in there, particularly if you like different genres.
