A Passionate Podcaster with no Boundaries

I don't see a general trend right now - which is probably another plus: I think there is a vivid scene but actually it doesn't act like some. We simply have a lot of people who are doing their things and that is it.

As I intimated before - I really think that the future of "free" music is the future of music (distribution) in general. Our everyday life experience is already that we can get every kind of music "for free", isn't it?

I have so many! There's e. g. Monotonik which I call "the mother" because it is one of the oldest ones (200th release lately, congrats by the way). There are others like 12rec.net, aerotone, kreislauf.org, I could also take laridae or test tube - labels I know for longer but which have had some great releases especially in the last time. Also I permanently discover new promising labels, recently e. g. Dusted Wax Kingdom or Budabeats.

Ok, I will try to add some tracks which hasn't been presented in Machtdose already and give a short comment to each:

You've asked also for some favourite musicians - here's one of them. Granlab, one of the broque makers (another excellent label), has just released a new EP, from it:

granlab - "a sneaked suffer"

One of the most interesting releases in the last time was for me XYDZOD - Y (puls09), a mashup of traditional African music and electronica, here's the opener:

XYDZOD - "afaera"

Next one has not only a funny title it is a marvellous track from the latest release at Yuki Yaki and is in heavy rotation at home right now:

David Carew - "Bored Of Canada"

Another great discovery was the excellent Hiphop Label Random Flow, they have for instance the duo D3Zs who raps in English and Japanese (and this sounds beautifully).

DZ9s - "Let the Music Play"

At the end another all-time favourite artist, this time it's iambic² and from his latest release (laridae037):

iambic² - "this day goes nowhere"
