Mixtapes

It is not enough for us to simply share free music with you as and when we find it. No, we need to sift through it, sort the wheat from the chaff, and handpick a sterling selection from our incessant free-music-for-all. We have Monthly Mixtapes, which summarise the best of the music we’ve shared each month, plus other more specific ones, such as our FreeIndie selections. Keep checking back for more quality selections.

August Mixtape – The Monthly Mixtape, Volume 3

Standard

August 2015 has been a month of quality, not quantity here at the Movement. Although it may not have been our most prolific month ever, we’ve still shared some of the best free music we’ve come across to date.

It was the month we discovered the meandering and yet utterly brilliant Superfunk stylings of The Floozies. Big players such as Macklemore (ft. Ed Sheeran) and Talib Kweli shared new music for free download, and a wealth of sample-heavy summery jams came our way, borrowing from classic cuts from the likes of The Isley Brothers and The Doors.

So, here’s the result of all that – a groove-heavy mixtape of only the finest free music.

Why not play it straight from our 8tracks page, where each track has a link to its free download location.

July Mixtape – The Monthly Mixtape, Volume 2

Standard

Last month’s inaugural Monthly Mixtape started us off in fine form, with tunes from the likes of Chance The Rapper, Fort Minor and Hudson Mohawke. This time around, we have new music from Wilco and Fliptrix, plus an eclectic selection of some of the best free music we’ve shared this month. All in a whirlwind 26 minute ride. So don’t dilly dally, head on over to our 8tracks page now to check it out, along with the rest of our fine selection of Free Music Mixtapes.

FMM’s FreeIndie Mixtape #1

Standard

FreeIndie.com was one of the first sites to get me thinking about the potential of sharing free, legal music. They used to post a 3 song sampler for a band’s work most days, and I discovered a lot of cool music that way. For three years now, I’ve handpicked some of my favourite tunes from bands featured on that site. So, I’m proud to present the first of three FreeIndie mixtapes that The Free Music Movement be sharing with you. Each track contains a link to that band’s original FreeIndie post, where you can download it, plus a couple of others.

You can check it out on our 8tracks page, here. I consider a lot of these tracks as real unearthed gems, and I hope that you feel the same way. JB
