junip - rope and summit ep

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

actually i didn't wanted to post a second release
today... but this deserves an immediate mention!

one of my most favourite musicians "josé gonzález"
put his solo-project aside for a while and is now
busy working with "elias araya" and "tobias winterkorn"
on the debut-release for their band "junip".

the cd will be released on 13. september, and because
of the long waiting-time, they decided to offer the
first 4-tracks ep for free!!

on this ep you'll find the typical guitar-playing
and singing of josé gonzález combined with some
dark synths, and drums - a very nice combination!

if you're not familiar to josé gonzález's solo-project,
don't forget to have a look at his homepage!
he's an amazing artist!

below you can listen to the song "turn to the assassin"
by junip which can be found on the "black refuge ep"




have a nice listen!
...and if you like the release, don't forget to leave
a comment or at least give some stars!!

pre-listen song: rope and summit 5:26

kemuzik one

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

a few days ago "priam" from "kemez's music shelf" contacted
me and told me about his finally released first compilation.
and after visiting his beautiful site, i immediately checked
the release-page to see what he has compiled.

and what i found was way more than expected!
after just the first few seconds of "i am oak",
i was totally captivated.
also the rest of the compilation is filled with alot
of very nice songs, by artists who give their music away
for free, or release their cd's commercially.
(all of them has been asked for permission to give the
specific songs away for free!)

also some special-goodies appear on the compilation:
the song "down here" by "stateless" can currently be found
nowhere else! and allison crowe's "effortless" is
an unmixed original version.

all in all i can say that when you listen to this
compilation, you hear that the "compiler" had not just
taken the first few songs he liked. he spent alot of time
searching for the right ones (actually about half a year!)
to capture a wide range of emotions.

...and of course, don't forget to visit his sites:

general site about free-music: kemez´s music shelf
compilations: kemuzik



have a nice listen!
...and if you like the release, don't forget to leave
a comment or at least give some stars!!

pre-listen song: i am oak - on trees and birds and fire 2:53

sagesse - cool tempo

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

when i first heard the song "zoombastic", i immediately
unplugged my speakers, put on my headphones, turned
the volume to the maximum, closed my eyes and listened
to it again.    ...what a massive track!

with sagesse's "cool tempo" release bankrupt recordings
have definitely choosen a worthy follower to their previous
release by crookram which was featured in here before.
(have a look at it here: crookram - through windows)

also the rest of the cd got a really nice groove, and
mixes hip hop beats with elements from funk, soul,
reaggae, dub and jazz.

so all in all i can say that i'm really looking forward
to what's next on "bankrupt-recordings"!

oh, and by the way, if you also like vocaled hip hop,
be sure not to miss the output of the collaboration
between sageesee & crookram! (look here: bar001 - escape ep)


p.s.:
i decided not to add zoombastic as pre-listen song,
because it needs to be listened with the amount of
bass it deserves and because "no dutch guyana" is
also a very nice track...


have a nice listen!
...and if you like the release, don't forget to leave
a comment or at least give some stars!!

ker - walking up hills

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

...i hope all of you are patient enough to keep
following this blog... there'll be better days (hopefully)
soon but i try to keep posting at least one release
per week until i find some more time.

ok, enough of the unfruitful tattle... today it's time for
a few new releases!

...and the kick off comes from ker wilson!

normally she's busy working on her main-project with
dan gelder called "the papertiger sound"
(they released a new album a bit earlier in 2010,
you can have a look at it >>>here)

...but about once every year she offers some
free-soundscapes as the solo-project "ker"

on her already eighth release "walking up hills"
you'll find 8 melancholic acoustic downtempo songs which
let you sink in your sofa as it is a basin filled with water.
so don't try to listen to those songs if you
are not prepared for a melancholic-music-bath!


...ker recently also released a nice ep called
"your familiar" which you can get >>>here

my bubba & mi - how it's done in italy

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

once every few months there's a release which
absolutely enthuses me...
and this time, the female-trio "my bubba & me" totally made it!

on their debut release they present 10 amazingly
gorgeous songs, which already sweetened
alot of my mornings, afternoons, evenings, bus-rides,
hikes, cycling-tours, and nearly every situation where
you can possibly listen to music.

even though the cd was released nearly 1 month ago,
i think you can probably still get one of the
hand-made cd's and vinyls on "beep!beep! back up the truck"
or on the "we were never being boring collection"
if not, the "pay what you want" mp3-download from
bandcamp needs to be suffice. (click on the cover)

...this time i'll not add some "personal favourite songs",
because it would be too hard to choose which song to exclude...

...and if you got the luck to be in italy this week,
don't forget to have a look at their >>>tour-dates!!


below i added some of their very beautiful pictures...
(you can watch more of them on their blog: >>>here

a few words by osenboz:

once again my time is a bit limited currently,
and so this entry will be very short...
but, i thought this 8-tracks ep deserves an
immediate mention.

on the debut-album of "bears in the attic" you'll
find a bunch of funky-jazzy hip hop tracks which
provide a huge listening-fun!

...for further information simply check the
"useful links" section...

winterphonic - spirals

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

laridae - austrias big hope for sustainment of great
free music supply just published their 53rd release!

winterphonic was founded as a trio in 2004 by
emanuel jauk who is also producing experimental electronic
music under the pseudonym "19hertz"
(you can have a look at his homepage here: 19hertz

after releasing their first cd "stop!" on
"cracked an egg records" the manning changed totally,
and now winterphonic is set up as a collaboration of
emanuel jauk and adina camhy.

inside their new cd "spirals" you'll find 10 very
nice female-vocaled tip hop songs, ranging between
melancholy and dreaminess.


my favourite tracks are:

01 - test/tube/thought
04 - raining
06 - electric
08 - what else

spinach prince - spinach prince lp

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

a great release if you want to listen to music
while working...
"spinach prince" is a 4-man group which tries to
merge quality-music and lounge music in an
interesting and diversified manner.

on the 45 minutes of the "spinach prince lp"
their music ranges between jazz, trip hop and instrumental
hip hop. created with guitars, drums, woodwinds, bass
and a few samples, none of the songs sound equal, but yet
they flow together in a brisk and calming way.


my favourite tracks are:

01 - deadman´s shoes
05 - hoodrats
10 - rhodopsin

adam & alma - back to the sea

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

hello my honored readers!

the last weeks i ran a bit out of time, and so the
blog had to go to sleep for a while...
but now finally easter is here, and i've got alot
of great new free music for you!

...and the first amazing piece of music comes from
ellen arkbro and johan graden, the two members of the
stockholm-based electro-pop duo "adam & alma"

on the 5 tracks of their debut-release "back to the sea"
they offer a spheric mixture of piano-melodies and electronic
beats, surrounded by the fairy-like singing of ellen.

when i first listened to this release, i had it running
in the background, and it seemed a bit too smooth and
lovely for me.
but then i listened to it a second time, without spending
my attention on something else... and now i absolutely
enjoyed it!

...so please mind my tip for this release:
give it at least a second listen!



...and if you like the release, don't forget to leave
a comment or at least give some stars!!

crookram - through windows

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

march seems not to be the most busy month for the
blog, and of course, i'm not happy about it...
but unfortunately my limited free-time currently doesn't
allow me to update the blog more frequent.
i hope it will be better in a few weeks.

meanwhile you need to be patient, and enjoy the
infrequent (but great) releases that will come as soon
as possible.

and for now, i got a really amazing cd which surely
abbreviate the waiting time...

it's the already 12th release on budabeats netlabel, and
i simply need to applaud them for their amazing selection
of free music.
each of the previous releases was amazing... and the latest
one by "crookram" is once again a great piece of music.

i really enjoyed listening to it in the morning while
traveling with the subway, because no matter how tired you
are, it surely will put a smile on your face, and animates
you to nod your head to the beats.


...you can also find this release on bankrupt-recordings

previous releases:
crookram - 19/76 ep
sagesse and crookram - escape, the ep



have a nice listen!

yamamoto - summer songs for winter people

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

as we all know... good things take time...
and the best example to proove this saying is
"the pony republic" netlabel.

after nearly 8 monts of silence, they showed a
sign of life, and released the new ep by
"mario supereit" and "brenda j" (a.k.a yamamoto)

the two mexican musicians took some beats, bleeps
and their voices to create a very relaxing mixture
between pop and experimental indie-electronic

it's a short ep which lasts just 21 minutes,
but within those minutes time seems to run a
bit slower...


previous releases:
yamamoto - columpio ep [2005]



have a nice listen!
...and if you like the release, don't forget to leave

various artists - jazzy puzzle

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

the last weeks i've had quite alot to do at university, and
because of that the blog needed to go to sleep for a while.

fortunately now everything calmed down, and there are
alot of releases waiting to be added, so i'll stop talking
about general stuff, and focus on music again.

the first release is the compilation by the very nice
free-music blog "good netlabels" who celebrates it's
3rd birthday.

and for this jubilee, matam (the man behind goodnetlabels)
choosed 19 chilled nujazz-downtempo-hip hop tracks by artists
like "suhov, enbe, maed, bandFX, crookram ...." and put them
together in an elaborate arranged compilation.

my favourites are:

11 - suhov - ahmadone
12 - cookram - business is business
13 - thallus - kot
19 - enbe - lyric


have a nice listen!
...and if you like the release, don't forget to leave

carlee hendrix & the whole earth catalog - northbound

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

when i first heard the recording of the live show
by carlee hendrix & the whole earth catalog @hotel cafe
(you can get it >>>here) i was really impressed by
the voice of carlee, and the "lightness" of the songs.

now at last, they released a short ep,
and even though i have to admit that some of the songs
are a bit too "cute" for me, i need to say
that in my opinion this ep is definitely worth a listen.
(and of course a second and third listen too...)

they just sat together for a weekend, and recorded all
the tracks without having playing as band alot before.
and the result of this home-recording-session are
6 cute pop songs about (as she wrote in the intro-text):

"boys who broke my heart and love letters to the universe
and turning into a tree and sleeping on my rooftop all summer"







have a nice listen!
