Tracks: On The DL 2

Usually Wednesday means reviewing a free compilation, but this week has been a busy one and I haven’t had much in the inbox other than Dilla tribute songs. So why don’t we make our own compilation? Here’s a collection of free soundcloud downloads from the past week or so.

Video: Teebs – Moments

Teebs “Moments” from Paul Trillo on Vimeo.

I found myself wondering just the other day when Teebs would drop something new.The track isn’t new at all, but Ardour still comes off as fresh after every listen, despite being almost a year old. The video is much like the song: capturing flourishes of normal life moments in a billow of smoke before quickly moving to the next. Thanks to Paul Trillo for the excellent, mood-capturing treatment.

Feature: 15 Free Albums You Should Know About

There’s a lot of sharing going on nowadays. Beat tapes and instrumental LPs are becoming exceedingly easy to find and often turn you on to people, labels and other things you never knew existed. These are 15 (16, actually) of my favorite digital releases that are either free or “name your price”. Shout outs to the people who work hard on their art and give it away. Please support them by buying a record, spreading the word or attending their show. Click the album art for download links.
