  • TCTD now on the Free Music Archive!

    fma-legal-music-5We are very proud to announce that TCTD is now a featured curator on the Free Music Archive.   The goal of the FMA is to:

    The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of high-quality, legal audio downloads.  The Free Music Archive is being directed by WFMU, the most renowned freeform radio station in America.  Radio has always offered the public free access to new music. The Free Music Archive is a continuation of that purpose, designed for the age of the internet.

    Every mp3 you discover on The Free Music Archive is pre-cleared for certain types of uses that would otherwise be prohibited by outdated copyright law.  Are you a podcaster looking for pod-safe audio? A radio or video producer searching for instrumental bed music that won’t put your audience to sleep?  A remix artist looking for pre-cleared samples? Or are you simply looking for some new sounds to add to your next playlist?  The Free Music Archive is a resource for all that and more, and unlike other websites, all of the audio has been hand-picked by established audio curators.

    Our goal is to showcase some of the best chip artists and releases in the hopes of getting more high profile exposure for the acts that truly deserve it. Our first featured artist is minusbaby, who may not be new to regular readers of the site, certainly deserves a look from interested outsiders. Every Tuesday we will be posting a new artist, until then you can read this weeks installment here.

    Please show your support by reading and commenting, thanks!

  • AKID EP by Starpause

    8bp097“AKID EP” by starPause is causing a ruckus. Four floor killers stacked with stinging slaps, bone-shaking bass, saucy diva snippets and tricked out retrigger commandos. Brain on the verge, move as you must! Only Piggy Tracker makes it possible. Art by Videogramo tew wey sekam. Mastering by Jesse Graffam rocks any sound system.
