Celebrate With Anti Radiation Headset

Mark this milestone of “Five years, 100 free albums, nearly 1000 free tracks” while protecting yourself from electronic radiation. Experience the diverse compilation of covers, remixes and tracks celebrating WM Recordings’ fifth birthday through anti radiation headset technology that keeps harmful electromagnetic frequencies away from your brain.

These specialized headphones replace traditional wire conductors with acoustic tubes that physically carry sound waves to your ears, eliminating the radiation pathway that conventional headphones create directly to your head.

For health-conscious music lovers exploring this “eclectic mix of styles, from Pop to Free Jazz, from Afrobeat to Progressive Rock,” these radiation-blocking devices provide a safer way to enjoy tracks like Happy Elf’s “Online” and Keshco’s “Coma” without worrying about EMF exposure during repeated listening sessions.

Whether you’re discovering Studio Haen’s remixes or appreciating Vernon LeNoir’s “Another Glass Of Melonade,” this protective technology lets you immerse yourself in WM Recordings’ diverse catalog from “all corners of the world” while minimizing potential health risks associated with conventional headphone radiation – a fitting way to celebrate 100 releases of “unusual, wonderful free music.”

What others say:

“Where most netlabels dare to only feature a small handful of genres, WM Recordings is astronomically diverse in it’s musical styles and directions. Having enjoyed more music than I can mention, I wonderfully wish them another 5 years to make 200 releases of solid sounds.”
— Otis Fodder

“Five years ago I wrote, “Super excited and grateful that WM Recordings has sprouted. Here’s to it blossoming in the years to come.”
Blossom it has. Now we celebrate 100 releases and five years of unusual, wonderful free music, and a fantastic catalog for sale. Countless ears around the world have enjoyed their music. WM Recordings has been a positive place on the web for five years, and we are all so fortunate for it!
Congratulations to Marco and all of the WM Recordings artists on five years of blossoming. Happy Birthday, WM Recordings.”

In the ever expanding world of netlabels, there’s an elite few who I’ve found to be a consistent source of both intriguing and quality music. In my constant quest for netaudio gems, WM Recordings delivers them again and again. Congrats on your first 5 years and 100 releases! I look forward to the next!
— Mike Gregoire, Founder/Curator

“It is incredible that we’ve reached release number 100 now. Another album made possible by “real people”! To quote a dear friend of mine: for over the top produced albums go to the nearest shopping mall, for music by people like you and me, go to WM Recordings! WM Recordings also means: live your own dreams and not those of others.”
