Wicked Site: RCRD LBL

RCRD LBL (which is "Record Label" without the vowels)  is an online record label that releases "exclusive and completely free music from emerging and established artists." They offer free MP3s from indie artists from independent record labels. They're a gold mine for finding new artists. All of their artist profiles include a bio, a link to the artist's website and the option to stream (listen to online) or download a song (sometimes more.) If you click on the "genres" tab, you can see there's something for everyone. Different "genres" you can click on include "nerd," "Jungle," and "ghostly" in addition to many others you would expect to find. They also put out podcasts, (looks like their aiming for weekly updates) where they talk about songs they've recently posted. Although I can't really vouch for the podcast because I haven't listed to on e in a long time to to the busy-ness that is my life. The definitely seem cool though, and there are links to download the songs featured in the podcast conveniently below the link to the podcast itself. If you're confused or wary of the whole "free music downloads" thing their FAQ does a great job of explaining the whole thing. Including that they're cool with you mashing up or remixing tracks you got from them, and they'd love to hear them. Plus, if you're an unsigned artist you can send them a link to your music so they can check it out. Happy Music Hunting!
