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

“Hutan dan Teriakan”

Hutan hampir selalu menjadi referensi bagi kesunyian, meski sunyi tidak pernah benar-benar ada. Ranting-ranting bergoyang terhempas angin, diiringi daun-daun yang berguguran. Lalu, bunyi-bunyi gesekan, terkadang mendesis, mendesau, dan menderu, silih berganti mengisi celah-celah pepohonan. Lebih seksama lagi, sayup-sayup suara burung atau fauna lainnya bersahut-sahutan. Dan hutan, kita tahu, menjadi penopang kehidupan semesta: menjaga keseimbangan, tempat bagi air dan udara bereproduksi, menyimpan ragam sumber daya yang melimpah. Di beberapa masyarakat non-urban, keberadaannya disakralkan. Mitos membalutnya dan diimani orang-orang yang hidup di sekelilingnya. Hutan disucikan, sekaligus ditakuti, angker, wingit.

Tapi, hutan juga menyimpan teriakan-teriakan. Sebelum pemukiman menjalar liar, hutan adalah medan laga pertempuran. Pangeran Sambernyawa bertahan dari gempuran tentara gabungan Kompeni dan Mataram di hutan Sitakepyak. Atau, taktik perang gerilya yang menjadikan hutan tempat persembunyian, seperti saat Perang Revolusi Indonesia dan Perang Vietnam. Di hutan pula, pembantaian sering terjadi. Berita-berita acap kali mengabarkan penemuan jasad pembunuhan. Ada juga kisah tentang pembantaian besar, seperti di Indonesia paska 1965. Mereka yang simpatisan atau dituduh penganut paham kiri, banyak yang dibunuh di dalam hutan, menyisakan lubang-lubang kuburan massal.

randomVOLT – Stand Alone Complex

randomVOLT – Stand Alone Complex
[pn148]

“Stand Alone Complex”

The album “Stand Alone Complex” arises from a reflection on the cyborg and the ideas embodied in the anime film “Ghost in the Shell” by Masamune Shirow, which seeks to reference post-club music from the futuristic dystopia that is currently pursuing us, while dealing with the dilemma of the soul and what or who owns that ghost. The Zeitgeist (this is originally a German expression that means the “spirit” (Geist) of “time” (Zeit) and refers to the current intellectual and cultural climate) generates some shock and reflection on what the body is and the nature of the other.

“Stand Alone Complex” contains music that goes from drone-like structures (“A Structural Point”), through more IDM tracks (“Riding the Noise”) to techno (“Der Inner Geist”, a direct translation of the inner ghost), to more industrial and post rave expressions (“The Harshness Factor” and “TGVBKJGFC”), until the last track (“Surveillance”), which speaks about the issue of surveillance though sounds that are more electronic and less structured by genre labels.

This disc originated with an approximately 20-minute recorded session made in 2014 (https://vimeo.com/105399073) and this subsequently laid the groundwork for a new interpretation of the books of Donna J. Haraway (Simians, Cyborgs and Women: The Reinvention of Nature, 1991) and Kim Toffoletti (Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls: Feminism, Popular Culture and the Posthuman Body, 2007).

It was mixed in FBK studios in Barcelona by Jose Jünemann and Joan Lavandeira and mastered by Jose Jünemann (2019).

Drehton – ini

Drehton – ini
[phokes138]

Drehton

“ini”

Phonocake-Artist Drehton moves the knobs and keys to the next experimental level. With references to trance, IDM, techno and now and then dub, he shapes the sound of a hyperworld: full of jumps, speed, variety, intensity, clear superabundance. This is where the control takes place, this is where the chips glow. Full of details this HiTekk Electronica purrs full of longing in the metropolis of chip design sound.

The 21st century replaces any category concept of ours. The concepts blur and exceed conventions through freer expression. Freed from any category corset, Drehton presents new experiments in tempo, arpeggio & melody, in its very own sound and recognizable style. Partly the stuff is insanely experimental, especially the first tracks. They tempt us to brain explosions that dissolve Koan like. From song 8 it gets a bit straigther.

BOGUE x LIGH TN ING

“MOLD”

This story is about how we got the opportunity to assess the level of moral decay of the Internet society first hand. The soundtrack for the show, which you will watch a second before the neutron burst turns your body into a shadow.
All that remains after you is just irrational hate in anonymous posts, stingy playlists and collections of saves.
You will see pictures of the decaying and self-destructive mass culture of the future, in which our creative process, like mold, is patiently growing and gaining critical mass

Эта история о том, как мы получили возможность с первых рядов оценить уровень морального разложения интернет общества. Саундтрек для шоу, которое вы будете смотреть за секунду до того, как нейтронная вспышка превратит ваше тело в тень.
Всё что останется после вас — лишь иррациональный хейт в анонимных постах, скупые плейлисты и коллекции сохранёнок.
Вы увидите картины гниющей и саморазрушающейся массовой культуры будущего, в которых наш творческий процесс, подобно плесени, терпеливо растёт и набирает критическую массу

Manu Louis

“Coltan Major Harmonics”

Coltan Major Harmonics is a two tracks 7’’ by Manu Louis, which also features in an interactive Installation by Escif at MIMA Brussels.
On track A, Coltan and his catchy bass line features a cocktail of London singer Heidi Heidelberg and Manu’s voice in a groovy and outrageous song about the precious mineral. The music uses only the original material composed by Manu for Escif’s interactive installation.

Escif is a street artist based in Valencia , Spain. His imaginative works have captured a large audience that follows his work progress. He sees the painting as an exercise of reflection that can be shared with people. He does not look for decorative paintings, he mostly tries to wake up viewers’ minds.
In October 2019, Bansky and Escif made a collaboration with about a hand made tool with a happy ending makes a fine decorative companion to the fireside or radiator.

Molez – One Remark

Molez

“One Remark”

After years of experimenting with generative sounds, sonificated timbre, unusual percussion and unique atmosphere, Molez made a backtrack to his musical roots with “One Remark“. He crossed his 2 favorite styles: techstep drum&bass and glitch-hop, trying to put sci-fi nature into a slower tempo but still maintaining the energy of the dancefloor.

Point – Human Music

Point – Human Music
[DigitalDiamonds069L]

Point

“Human Music”

Point’s (GER) album, Human Music, is undefinable. It’s a lesson in sound design, expressively presented as a new breed of intelligent dance music. Its warm, rich and supple analogue textures will immediately engage you while meshing you between ripples of hybrid genres. Compositionally, it carefully progresses into symphonies of sombre etherealness then morphs into pronounced primordial rhythms. His third LP is a veracious nourishment of the soul and will have you feeling like you are standing on the edge of the earth.

“Mientras todo está Sucediendo”

ambient tributes

“Mientras todo está sucediendo” (“Meanwhile, Everything is Happening”)

We composed and created this album between April and September 2019, but we came up with the concept several years ago. The idea was to include ambiental pieces and associate them with well known songs, but only the titles. Even though it may seem otherwise, all the songs are ours. No covers at all. We just got inspired by the life and works of artists like John Lennon, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Pink Floyd or David Bowie. They left a mark not only musically, but as people, with their actions and thoughts, and we created and “dedicated” these soundscapes to them.

“You could live inside or outside the box, but meanwhile, everything is happening”
