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.

mGee

“Remixes, Volume 1”

So, you may or may not know that not only do I (Mike Gregoire, founding owner) run this label, but I also dip my toe in music-making as mGee, whenever I have free time. So, it’s no surprise that I rarely release music, since I rarely have extra time. That’s too bad, because I love making it. Four years after my last release, I finally decided to make time for it. I recently heard an old remix and thought that it could use a few tweaks and a remaster. That lead to deciding to revisit a few remixes and releasing them together as Remixes, Volume 1 to help celebrate Netlabel Day. So here we are. I hope you discover or rediscover these songs and perhaps revisit each artist’s releases, too! Included are remixed songs by BADLUCK, Cheese N Pot-C, Garmisch, The Honorable Sleaze & Liam Stewart. All incredible artists that deserve to be heard beyond the remixes. As the name suggests, expect another volume sometime in the future.

Thank you so much to all artists that have allowed folks to remix their tunes! R.I.P Sleaze.

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!

Ron Zakrin – Wait for Tomorrow

Ron Zakrin

“Wait for Tomorrow”

Wait for tomorrow is the second release by Ron Zakrin on Equal Recordings. This time around, Zakrin piled on the tracks to make a seamless LP worthy of some deep listening. Following a couple of challenging years filled with loss and injury, Zakrin brings to bear the tools of experience required to convey the ebb and flow of life- from the light hearted Italo arcade anthem “Burgertime” to the scowling, fuck all anarchism of “Storm the Ramparts”, Zakrin delivers a 12 track ride through a sonic environment that will move you physically and emotionally.

“Bralitz Vol. 2”

At the end of August in 2013, the stage in the old Bralitz railway station served two different purposes: It was the epicentre of aaahh record’s first festival – and the days before, the former waiting hall was a recording studio. This was where the festival anthem “Miss You“ was created. And at the festival’s finale, the crowd joined in.

Mild Wild – Vol. 1

Mild Wild – Vol. 1

Mild Wild

“Vol. 1”

This music is written and recorded quickly to capture the emotion of the moment. It’s lyrics are mostly taken from stream of conciseness and short journal entries. Some sections work to tell a story while others are content to depict abstract thoughts and feelings. The songs contain themes of selfishness, youth, consumerism, relationships, pollution, drug use, duality, religion, and employment to name a few. Although it is up to the listener to take away whatever messages they hear.

The project has been a work in progress since 2018, picked up when it felt right and not forced. All 12 songs were recorded to cassette tape using a Tascam Portastudio. Guitars, and ukulele make up the majority of the instrumentation but banjo, synth, harmonica, and bells can be found throughout. In place of traditional drums found objects and small percussion have been layered and sampled to build a backing rhythm. While tracking a variety of guitar pedals were placed in line to manipulate the sounds. Nearly all of the vocal tracks have been run through a “Hall of Fame” reverb pedal and very little post production work was done. Vocal doubling and hard stereo panning aim to give the tracks a spacious and ambient feeling. Each track is different but the methods used to capture the audio give the project unity.

Mild Wild has taken it’s influences (both sonically and visually) from the writer’s experiences and upbringing, many of which are subconsciously sourced. However some artist that have directly shaped the direction of the music include The Beatles, Kool A.D., Mac Demarco, Pavement, The Kinks, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, George Orwell, Ansel Adams, and Vincent Van Gough. Although that list could be much longer with more self reflection.

Mild Wild creates music not for profit but to share a brand of creativity that is truthful. All the songs included in Vol. 1 are free to download and use however others may see fit. The music is licensed under a Attribution Creative Commons. The hope is that the sounds when set free will organically find their way into other creative places.

big blood – Do You Wanna Have A Skeleton Dream?

big blood

“Do You Wanna Have A Skeleton Dream?”

Big Blood is:
Colleen Kinsella
Caleb Mulkerin
Quinnisa Kinsella Mulkerin

Written and recorded at home by Big Blood.
This album is dedicated to Paul Yves Reny, Greta Thunberg and Fred Cole. Thank You to Feeding Tube Records.

Taken From Feeding Tube Records:
Wow! Great new LP by the full trio version of Maine’s Big Blood. Colleen, Caleb and Quinnisa are all present and accounted for at every turn on this one!

Unlike their last LP, The Daughter’s Union (FTR 459) (which seemed like some sort of experiment involving glam-rock-readymades), Do You Wanna? is awash with crazily re-imagined girl group dynamics. Some of these tight-sparkly-dress recreations have a savage teenage authority, but others wiggle more like dreams stolen from the nodes of Julee Cruise, Angelo Badalmanetti or David Lynch. Sometimes there are style-ghosts standing in all the expected places, but none of them are behaving the way we’d expect.

But I do not wish to paint the sound here as monochromatic. There are many of Big Blood’s classic elements employed with trademark pluck — witchy patches recalling early Spires That in the Sunset Rise, small balloons filled with glitter & gas-pulses, bubbling pools of pure psychedelic confusion. But the strange sophistication of children wearing Diana Ross masks is something new. And it’s such a mesmerizing vision, I find myself paying extra attention to it.

But then again, that’s just the surface. The lyrics here are of a piece with Big Blood’s patented approach of creating surrealist poetry in a rural and arrestingly original American style. Quinissa’s newly rampant influence seems to be grounding some of the lyrical imagery in more quotidian scenes (”Insecure Kids,” etc.), but with the parental examples she’s afforded on a daily basis, this may just be a phase. But whatever else it is, Do You Wanna? is another amazing spin from Big Blood. And there’s even a poster you can pin on your memory board. Talk about your win/win situations!

King Elizabeth – The Awakening

King Elizabeth – The Awakening
[VULP-0162]

King Elizabeth

“The Awakening”

King Elizabeth – The Awakening (VULP-0162)

Picking up from where King Elizabeth left off in 2012 with Miami, The Awakening contains all of the mesmerizing synth hooks and passionate vocal lines you’d hope for. The sultry “Mother” and churning title track “The Awakening” are among my favorites in this dark gleam of brilliance — 7 years in the making! — that Vulpiano Records is delighted to present.

Words from the artist:

It’s been a long journey to get to this point with many songs being written and recorded but never feeling right for the time. A lot of songs were scrapped and others placed on the back burner to come back to with fresh ears. Maybe it was a quest for perfection when perfection doesn’t exist, or just falling out of love with the songs at the time! It’s all contributed to the 7 years it’s taken to complete this record.

I had a new experience with writing and recording songs for this album. I usually have a vision for the album with the songs interconnected in some way. This time, I was just writing one song at a time—the ideas were for the individual songs, I had no greater vision. I had the lyrics and the music in my mind for that song and that song only at the time, then I’d move onto the next.

Over time I realised that the songs that stood out for me fitted together as well as any other album I’ve ever made—if not better. The beauty of this is that each song can really hold its own and doesn’t need a ‘before’ song or an ‘after’ song. The process was lengthy, but then when they all did come together it was an awakening. I hope this album awakens something inside everyone who kindly takes the time to listen to it.
