We’d Like Those Downloads Free and Legal. Hold the DRM!

We’ll make this short and sweet. RCRD LBL is a website that provides label-supported streams and absolutely free, legal, digital downloads of tracks from indie labels like Dim Mak, Ghostly International, Warp, Kompakt, and Modular by some pretty big artists (Art Brut, Grizzly Bear, Bloc Party, Justice), as well as some who are far below the radar, like Kings and Queens, Youthmovies, and Jacques Renault. Some tracks are exclusives, some aren’t, but they’re all free. Registering so far hasn’t netted spam, but some killer info. Their statement of purpose is on the home page and it’s well worth a few minutes to scope out. Just go here to find out more.
We’ve also got some great, legal, authorized downloads available in the Free Media section on Music Emissions.

As someone who works in the digital music industry, I think this is genius!
Hey, thanks for the kind words, glad you’re digging the site.
I can promise you there won’t ever be any spam coming from us, totally not what we’re about at all.
Some bands have started “giving it all away” too. The woodsmen seem to be the most extreme case- they have nine (!) free albums on their website:
