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.

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

Jonny3snareS – Attack, Decay
AOU027

Jonny3snareS

“Attack, Decay”

Wires, knobs, keys, a modular synth rack. Jonny3snareS’ twisted, plugged, pressed his home studio equipment to birth eight braindance tracks in the style of the greats – as one residing in Cornwall should. A blizzard of acid bleeps and blips, pounding drum patterns, good vibrations and a touch of melancholy; a mixture wonderfully crafted for ravers and couch listeners alike. Attack, Decay is just that: it punches your eardrums and dance buttons with shrapnel synth shot and rhythms on one track, then turns things around with nostalgic melodies and more laid-back beats.

Released 17. Oktober 2020

Christophe Bailleau – Vertical Moon Phase Charm

Christophe Bailleau – Vertical Moon Phase Charm
[mhrk369]

Christophe Bailleau

“Vertical Moon Phase Charm”

“Vertical Moon Phase Charm”, Christophe Bailleau’s debut on Mahorka, is the second album out of his meta-vision of electronic and electro-acoustic music trilogy on the theme of creativity in the face of autistic disorders, following the excellent inauguration “CHUVA ORBITAL : Armadillo Time” on Lotophagus Records. Here the artist again asserts his unique craftsmanship in balancing and naturally blending low-fi and high-tech sounds, acoustic sources and digital synthesis in another powerful, immersive work. “Vertical Moon Phase Charm” notably includes quite the strong and special list of collaborators: A Limb, Stanley Christiaensen, Konejo, Innocent But Guilty and Paradise Now.

“Supradyne” (tracks 3 and 4) exists in a rather different version (and as one-part track) on “Optionnal essentials, vol V” on 3 To The 3rd Music.

Track 5 is based on “Konejo – The Rotten Cycle of Life and Decay (Christophe Bailleau Remix)” released on “The Moodygoer Remixes Part I” on Mahorka.

Track 6 is a different version of the track “Spaceform (free)” in collaboration with Innocent But Guilty for the 413 project on Foolish Records.

“A monument of fluctuating abstraction, Vertical Moon Phase Charm has no known safety measures or possible precautionary principles. A multi-dimensional mutant emulsion, we navigate in turbulent waters, no need to look for a secure anchor. Conceptual chimera, beautifully produced, each track … proceeds through systemic enchantment, it quickly becomes unnecessary to resist – a variant geometry.”
— from Thierry Massard’s review on nocoVision

Released September 30, 2023 as free (cc) download and limited cassette.

Christophe Bailleau: composition, programming, production, synthesizers, guitar, piano

A Limb: synthesizers, noises on tracks 1 and 8.
Stanley Christiaensen: Moog synthesizer, vocals, Tibetan bells, sitar on track 4.

Angel Galán – Hikikomori

Angel Galán – Hikikomori
[pn224]

Angel Galán

“Hikikomori”

‘Hikikomori’ es un término japonés que describe a una persona que se retira de la sociedad y se aísla socialmente por largos períodos de tiempo, generalmente en su propio hogar. Los ‘hikikomori’ evitan cualquier interacción social significativa, limitándose a su habitación o a espacios cerrados, y se desconectan de las responsabilidades y actividades normales de la vida cotidiana. Este fenómeno se caracteriza por una profunda sensación de alienación y dificultad para relacionarse con los demás. Es importante destacar que el término ‘hikikomori’ no tiene una definición clínica oficial y puede variar en su interpretación. Algunos consideran que se trata de un síndrome o trastorno, mientras que otros lo ven como una respuesta cultural a la presión social y a las altas expectativas académicas y laborales en la sociedad.

La lucha social está siendo sustituida por una lucha interior individual que en gran medida evita que consigamos soluciones a problemas comunes. Desde la melancolía electrónica, este álbum pretende canalizar el aislacionismo social de este mundo hiperconectado, y transformar ese malestar en algo estético y regenerador mientras tomamos energía para volver a juntarnos por un bien común. “Hikikomori” es un disco de música electrónica entre la escucha y el baile, llena de ritmos, texturas y elementos que atraviesan los géneros. Diez tracks que te dejarán atrapado.

‘Hikikomori’ is a Japanese term that describes a person who withdraws from society and socially isolates themselves for extended periods, typically within their own home. ‘Hikikomori’ individuals avoid any significant social interaction, confining themselves to their room or enclosed spaces, and disconnect from the responsibilities and normal activities of daily life. This phenomenon is characterized by a deep sense of alienation and difficulty in relating to others. It’s important to note that the term ‘hikikomori’ doesn’t have an official clinical definition and can vary in its interpretation. Some consider it to be a syndrome or disorder, while others view it as a cultural response to social pressure and high academic and work expectations in society.

The social struggle is being replaced by an individual inner struggle, which largely prevents us from finding solutions to common problems. From the perspective of melancholic electronica, this album aims to channel social isolation in a hyperconnected world and transform that discomfort into something aesthetic and regenerative while gathering energy to come together for the common good. “Hikikomori” is an electronic music album that blends listening and dance, filled with rhythms, textures, and elements that span across genres. Ten tracks that will leave you captivated.

Roberto Massoni – Floreas Unn Fauneth
[hueco negro 10]

Roberto Massoni

“Floreas Unn Fauneth”

Cada obra supone en mi caso una pregunta previa que justifique tamaño esfuerzo. Las razones y la creencia ciega de que esas razones son certeras sostienen acaso por un periodo breve la potencia inconmensurable del hacer. Durante mucho tiempo me esforcé como artista en enfocarme solo en el hacer como un ejercicio continuo de sostenimiento de la vida. Floreas unn fauneth es un resultado de ese convencimiento. Una suma de pequeñas obras creadas en diferentes momentos y sin una cronología o diseño previo que explique porque están ordenadas de la manera en que están. El gusto personal estratégicamente corrido de foco deja a la intuición hacer lo que mejor sabe hacer que es tomar decisiones impulsadas por lo inconsciente con algo de experiencia previa.
Obras pequeñas cargadas de recorridos experimentales que en la escucha encuentran una relación forzada con la naturaleza y los movimientos pequeños, sencillos, repetitivos y no cuantizados.
Hacia el final del corrido del viaje solitario que supone la experimentación, en mi caso sentado frente a un computador, perdido, confundido, abrumado y aburrido se encuentra la absurda idea de que quizás este pueda ser el final. Luego aparece la reacción más humana y abrazada a la respiración que inyecta porvenir y me recuerda que ya no hago lo que hago buscando algún tipo de aprobación de alguien que ya no sirve que lo haga. Estoy yo y eso basta. La naturaleza también está ahí, dándome un entorno para respirar, caminar, observar, habitar y eso también basta.

Adrien d’Elzius

“Silent Revolution”

New EP “Silent Revolution” from Adrien d’Elzius (formerly known as hosmOz) shows different facets of real IDM music: while taking the roots from the masters of the genre, with the trademark glitches, clicks and cuts, it has its own unique face with all the subtle melodies and atmospheres – and everything between the lines. As everyone else, artists have to find their place and purpose, and in this increasingly cold and surreal world, invaded by artificial intelligence technologies, the task can be delicate. The only revolution worth carrying out is an inner revolution, and the track titles give a clue to where to look to find inspirations from those who can light a candle in our inner chaos.

Dissolved

“Island Flux Remixes”

Island Flux remixes brings together a diverse group of artists who were given the raw elements from Dissolved’s 2022 album “Island Flux”.

Given no restrictions, each artist has placed their own unique stamp on the tracks, resulting in a collection that stretches and morphs into new expanses while allowing the ghosts of the originals to still exist. The original album cover depicted an unknown and strangely isolated island, located ‘somewhere’.

To reflect the way these remixes expand and change the originals, the original photo has been artificially expanded, revealing a new expanse of ocean and sky, somehow making the island even more remote and mysterious and allowing the music to take you on a different voyage.

Original tracks taken from the album “Island Flux” by Dissolved.

Toxic Chicken

“Radio Reveries”

Breezy beats and relaxing reflections inspired by listening to Beachy Head Radio. https://beachyheadradio.com/

Most of these tracks were recorded in one go, as inspiration struck. The bass, core melodies and rhythms were created on the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator 33, to which was added a sprinkling of sounds from other gadgets, and samples of Kai’s own voice for percussion purposes.

Toxic Chicken is Dutch musician, composer, visual artist and all-round good egg Kai Nobuko. Besides being a keen listener to Beachy Head Radio, he presents one of the music shows on BHR, ‘Funderground’.

Virtually J

“Reworks”

Long time ago, in the relatively small Black Sea coastal city of Varna, Julian Kalchev a.k.a. Virtually J became a kind of local pioneer and an inspiration for a whole generation, being the first to explore ways to compose and produce electronic music programmed, edited, played on a PC. He’s been important part of the scene since then, contributing, for example, to the essential VA series “Kokaku” on Jisatsuken. We were really excited to release on Mahorka his latest album “Autocracy Mage” in February 2021.

In the vein of the never skipped tradition of preparing and releasing a really special collaborative Mahorka album for Netlabel Day each year (e.g. Fire to the Stars, Captive Portal, krāllār, Teeth of Divine, Tomoroh Hidari, Electrohollyc & MO. reworks albums, the “Music for Elevators vol. 5” VA compilation and a 4T Thieves remixes album), we are more than happy to announce 2023’s release “Virtually J – Reworks”, including new versions of tracks off “Autocracy Mage” (from Toxic Derwish, LR Friberg, Hypnos, Captive Portal, SpaceCherry, 4T Thieves, Asshole Galaxy (Abdicant and Weldroid), Brainquake, Obhod, Fluffy Inside (a.k.a. Pandacetamol), Mas&Delayer, and Julian Kalchev himself in the Autocracy Mage Remix of “Nazka”) and one unreleased original track and an un released Autonomaton remix.

“The Shipping Forecast”

Nik (4T Thieves) has been putting out beautiful electronic music since the early demoscene days. He also, quite notably, has been the manager of Kahvi Collective since 2001, which has gone from strength to strength and definitely arrived at ‘cult’ status in the scene. In 2015 we had his Mahorka debut releases – “Mahorka netlabel day mashup” and “Glass EP”. Since then we’ve had 10 attributed to 4T Thieves releases, one of which on digipak CD – the already classic “Hauntology” from 2019.

In 2023 we are more than happy to be releasing his second digipak CD on Mahorka – “The Shipping forecast”, a stellar new album and also special collaborative project, which features, besides 9 new beautiful 4T Thieves original tracks, remixes of some of them from Room of Wires, Abdicant, Pandacetamol, Weldroid and Tim Koch.

Released July 8, 2023 as free (cc) digital download and special limited edition digipak CD.

Yulio

“Cosmic Fractal”

Yulio (Julio Muñoz) presents his fifth album “Cosmic Fractal”, an album combining electronic, ambient and cosmic elements to create a soundscape that transports you through space and time.

Cosmic fractals are geometric patterns found in nature and repeated at different scales throughout the universe. These patterns can be found in cosmic structures such as galaxies, nebulae and in the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe, generated through complex physical processes such as gravitation, turbulence and radiation.

Cosmic fractals study has helped scientists to better understand the structure and evolution of the universe. In addition, their beauty and complexity has fascinated artists, people interested in science and nature.

All this mystery was studied and clarified by Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010), a mathematician known for his pioneering work in fractal theory and fractal geometry. Mandelbrot was one of the first to realize the importance of self-similarity, scale in nature and complex phenomena. His work opened a new field in mathematics and computer science. His ideas have been applied in many areas, including physics, biology, economics, engineering, and music (why not?)..

From the very start, a unique atmosphere can be perceived, due to evolving and constantly changing sound effects. Yulio adds an extra complexity and texture layer to every composition, developing a character and personality of their own, wrapped by an exploratory approach, leading to even more intimate discoveries.

These energetic pieces make your senses vibrate with space-like sounds, while the more relaxing ones motivate self-reflection and contemplation.

Summing up, “Cosmic Fractal” is a fascinating listening experience, taking you on a journey through galaxies and the cosmos – a house trademark . The elements mixture, as well as sonic fractality, create a unique music work – one we recommend to any electronic music fan.
