about

Since 2010, many netlabels and artists publish their new free music releases on the clongclongmoo website. Free means that you don't have to pay anything or register to download music. However, you can usually pay something to support the artists. Please note the licenses under which the music is published. This is important to know what you are allowed to do with the music. Please visit the labels' homepages to get the free music. Most files are published under a creative commons licence. At netlabellist you will find an extensive list of websites that also offer (or have offered) free music. If you run a netlabel yourself or offer your music for free and want to draw attention to it, you are welcome to use the submission form. And remember that clongclongmoo is not there to do business, because “Business Is Not My Music.”

update, February 1st, 2026

Dear friends and followers of clongclongmoo. It's great to have you here. As you may have noticed, the site has changed a bit. Some people wanted to be able to access the music with fewer clicks. That should work again now. Here's a quick note to everyone who uses relatively new platforms such as Mirlo, Faircamp, or Coop: feel free to use the submit form to draw attention to your new music. I'd especially appreciate hearing from anyone who runs a netlabel with free Creative Commons music. Thank you! Konrad from clongclongmoo

Various Artists – netBloc Vol. 51: Embark!

Various Artists

“netBloc Vol. 51: Embark!”

Whenever I begin the process of listening for a netBloc release, I have to wade through such a large amount of not so awesome music. While doing so, when I do find gems, it immediately changes my mood and makes the task of finding more great music, that much easier. Once I’ve got about 30 or so gems, I know that I’ve got some great music for the next volume, but what’s still unclear is which songs will ultimately make the cut, how well they’ll flow together and which ones I’ll have to remove because I can’t reach the artist or label. Eventually, though, I arrive at the final sequence that I can throw into my music player and listen to while preparing the compilation for release.

This time around, the final compilation is just so very, very good. Don’t get me wrong, each one is great, but there’s something about this collection of songs that’s unique. Perhaps it’s the way they flow together, or maybe certain songs work together so well that it makes the whole that much better. Whatever the case may be, I think netBloc Vol. 51: Embark! is likely to eventually be considered among your favorites… at least I hope so!

For this volume, we’ve got Electronic, Hip-Hop, House, Indie, Jazz, Post-Punk, Post-Rock & Soul from all over the world for you to enjoy and listen to. So download your copy… put your player on loop and spin it all day while you work!

A very special thanks to all participating artists and labels! Your support of the Creative Commons community by releasing your music with CC licenses is more important than you may know.

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!
