August Mixtape – The Monthly Mixtape, Volume 3

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.

The Floozies

Future Funk duo The Floozies have got to be one of the coolest bands we’ve ever featured on The Movement. If you’re anything like me, The Funk will always hold a special place in your heart, and there’s arguably no better example of what The Funk sounds like in 2015 than these guys (sorry, Mark Ronson).

The Floozies are two brothers from Kansas, and are Champions of Free Music – all of their quality music is available for free download from their Soundcloud page (embed above), or their website. Maybe if the KS music scene was this good back in Dorothy’s day, she would have though twice about heading to Oz.

 

• Know any tasty free jams worthy of sharing with the human race? What about local artists or mates deserving of a wider listenership? (Is that even a word!?). Let us know.
