blocSonic spotlights the best of creative commons and netlabel music. They release compilations and original releases featuring the best netaudio music from their homebase in the State of Maine.

The mix features “Produga Soldata” by Nambavan, from his WM Recordings album “Chechnya on a dance floor“.

With this, the debut compilation album from NLC member labels, we’re looking to spread knowledge about the group and what it’s doing, as well as getting good music out there and promoting the labels who release it and the artists who create it. Keep an eye open for new releases and projects from the NLC and head over to the NLC site and forums to get involved. As with all open culture communities, the free music one only flourishes when you contribute.

Up it up, Ego Twister, Peppermill, Proot, Cock Rock Disco, and WM Recordings share similar backgrounds and philosophies, and they are proud to present their “Greatest it”. You might happen to know all of the 18 smash hits but if you don’t you better catch up, Mr. caveman. This might indeed be the flyest compilation on the internet.

The labels’ idea was also to share audiences by introducing / pointing out each other. It’s understood that it’s ridiculously difficult choosing your 3 favorite tracks from a whole catalog so consider this the tip of the iceberg.

We love giving away our music because we believe the best things in life should be free – like the air you breathe or sunlight or sex (ideally). Please share this release with your friends or blog about it.

You can download Greatest It here.

We celebrate our fifth birthday today with the release – yes, our 100th! – of this special compilation of cover versions, remixes, and tracks about free, legal music. We hope you’ll celebrate with us.

Various Artists – WM x 100 / 100 x WM

We have already invited you to submit a cover version of your favorite WM Recordings tracks, but since so many people asked about it we will expand the theme of our compilation.

So, for our 100th free release please sumbit one of the following:
- a cover version of your favorite WM Recordings tune
- OR an original track based around the theme of free music downloads, netlabels, Creative Commons releases, file sharing, bittorrent sites, copyright, etc. So, wanna write a blues about the joy you get from new WM Recordings releases? Or do you have a protest song about all those evil file sharers? Please submit it for our 100th free release!

Deadline is October 20th.

The rules are simple: your track(s) should not be longer than 5 minutes and should be submitted in mp3 format (we prefer 320kbps). Mail info@wmrecordings.com if you have any questions or if you have more great ideas to celebrate our 100th free album.

One more request: please contact us first before sending your mp3s.

Pick your favorite WM Recordings track from www.wmrecordings.com and… cover it!

We’ll post submission guidelines on our site very soon, but you’re already invited to start submitting your cover versions. Deadline is September 15th.

The rules are simple: the track(s) must have been released by WM Recordings and your version should not be longer than 5 minutes. Also keep in mind that a remix does not count as a cover version. Mail info@wmrecordings.com if you have any questions or if you have more great ideas to celebrate our 100th free album!

“A loosely knitted tribute to the soundtracks from those icons of popular sleaze, the porn films”

Various Artists – Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka: Porn Music for the Masses vol. 2

In 2004 the release of Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka – Porn Music For The Masses Vol. 1 on Comfortstand.com caused quite a stir. Four years later it is one of the most downloaded netlabel releases ever.

Now WM Recordings brings you a new dose of “Porn Music Magic” to swing to/by, thanks to mr_melvis, the same producer who brought you WCWC vol.1.

Twenty tunes of porn groovieness and one bonus track with a ‘Behind The Scenes’ look at the industry will be sure to titillate even the most repressed listeners. It’s time to turn those lights down low again, and get it on – Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka!
