Free Music Friday!!!!

So it's nearly the weekend, why not treat yourself to some brand new pod-fodder, absolutely gratis! Go on, you deserve it.

Oh, and this isn't the guilty "I'm going to buy it if I like it, honestly" type of free. Oh no. It's actual freeness, music freely given by the artists and labels out of the sheer loveliness of their souls.

First up, the Nemesis album by Cut La Roc. This is a lush blend of electronica, breaks, funky house and even some tidbits of hip-hoppery, the follow up to the bigbeat smash that was La Roc Rocks.

This album is still on sale, but to celebrate the imminent release of his next LP, the man himself is giving away a 320kbps version. If you like it, why not return the love and buy his next album?

Go here and snag it for yourself, before he comes to his senses.

Secondly for this inaugural week of freebies, I wanted to highlight the Dubkey netlabel. The label provides free roots reggae and dub and it is lovely stuff too.

There are currently three albums available on the site. Crucial Alphonso's rather splendid Visionary Creation has been on rotate on my Ipod for a couple of weeks now. Twelve tracks of deep instrumental dub with an electronic edge.

So spark a fatty, crack a Red Stripe and float into the weekend. I have a feeling it's going to be a good one.
