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

Plutonien

“VORSTELLUNG ERARBEITEN”

Brain factory in Metropolis.

From Dresden’s electronica underground comes Plutonien and ploughs our brain walls with experimental-beat-heavy lofi art, most of which was produced using Sunvox, which is of course great. Head banging is allowed, even dancing is possible with some of the tunes. The artist of the project Plutonien has a liking for all arts, art history, but also for more or less strange human creations of all kinds. The openness and at the same time strictness associated with this is easy to hear in the tunes. The sounds are not charming at all, more like sitting in the middle of a mechanical clockwork, listening to and watching its production. The big machine is rolling. And it is not soothing but, to put it mildly, revealing.

This is the first time we have re-released a musical work that was already published under Creative Commons before. With a licence that is given and somewhat different from our standard licence.
Basically, a re-release of CC music is possible at any time. In the context of attention islands in media oceans, this somehow also makes additional sense.
It also makes sense from a long-term perspective, because digital releases are much more ephemeral than, for example, records and CDs that are still traded.
>From the time of the beginnings of music publication on the net, almost none of the hundreds of labels are active or accessible any more.
Archive.org is of course a wonderful implementation, especially thanks to Simon von Monotonik, who recognised the potential early on and built the bridge between the netlabels and archive.org.

The contact to Plutonien was established via Rajko, thanks.
