If you’re following my netlabel tracker you’ll already know that I’m constantly on the look out for high quality music that’s released under the Creative Commons license or has been given away free by an artist or record label. About once a week I will share a link and a brief review of excellent bands and producers who graciously give away their art for free, be sure to keep up to date and follow me on Facebook, Twitter or RSS. Please support these artists by attending their gigs, sharing links to their music and if you can, make a donation to help them continue.

For the last tracker in 2010, I’m proud to present Philadelphia-based label ‘Foundsound Records’. Foundsound showcases quirky, dancefloor-friendly minimal Techno and Microhouse. Their first 12″ vinyl was released in June 2004 and with 23 releases and counting they’ve been a busy crew. On the flip side they run Unfoundsound Records and release high quality music under Creative Commons.

Surf across collaborations of epic proportions and experience works of art from Robert Rich & Steve Roach or Gerhard Behles & Robert Henke. Be transported through time and space with beautiful music from Indian tabla master Qureshi Alla Rakha Khan. Alla Rakha was born in 1919 and became fascinated with the sound and rhythm of the tabla at the age of 12. Drifting across the globe and spanning decades in between, I chose the infamous Zakir Hussain to wind down the mix with more aural interpretations of the desert.
