Create and download unlimited FREE work-out mixes at Michelob UltraMix. MP3s are not only free to download but free of DRM, too.
It’s too hard to spotlight any one track as they’re “mixing it up” and adding more MP3s every week (allegedly) thereby ensuring a different mix each time you visit (also allegedly). The type of music Ultramix chooses for you depends on your selections for “height, activity and intensity.” I found the majority of the selections to be rock and indie-rock oriented on my visits, with a smattering of hip-hop and rap; dance/electro tracks seem woefully underrepresented. As always, my tastes may not be yours, so you’ll need to spend some time in there finding tracks you won’t mind listening to repeatedly.
Their generosity runs out on September 5th so get a move-on to get your groove on!

Download a FREE 10-track mix from Bad Boy Bill over at Beatport. The Patrick Alavi track, “1992 (J&S mix)“, is the highlight here. Painless registration is required. [The download includes several other files needed if you want to play the mix with Beatport’s exclusive Traktor player; otherwise, the MP3s play absolutely fine as single tracks in any MP3 player.]
PROTOTYPE MIX 03 been up on the front page for a bit, so be sure to hurry on over and download before it’s gone!

Speaking of sexy (today’s A&F post), I had the distinct pleasure to come across this over at Comfort Stand: WAKKA CHIKKA WAKKA CHIKKA: PORN MUSIC FOR THE MASSES VOL. 1. Now, being more of a purist, I might have entitled these selections as BOW CHIKKA BOW BOW in the heat of the moment, but whatever you call it, it’s a damn fine release. And, like the best things in life… it’s FREE! (NSFW, though.)
A few of the tracks verge on the lounge-y/silly side with, um, “vocal” excerpts but the first selection, “Take Me Now!” is very accessible and listenable; I think “Take Me Now!” best sums-up thematically the sound the producers of the compilation where trying to go for. But more to the point, you just gotta love any album with song titles like “Suck My Disc” and “Half An Hour Is For Free”. Go grab yourself… a copy of PORN MUSIC FOR THE MASSES!
The album is also available for download at the Internet Archive.

UPDATE: Apologies. I had the page links mixed up. It’s fixed now and reads as I intended.
The arbiters of sepia-toned sexy/cool have a rotating selection of FREE MP3s for your enjoyment that can be found at Abercrombie & Fitch: Music. The stand-out track of this month’s five being “Digital Lover” by 33hz, imho.
But did you know there’s also a second, buried page of MP3s? That page can be found here. I find these selections to be very indie-centric and not all that interesting, in sharp contrast to the Euro-centric playlists that blare inside their stores. [FYI: You can find out what songs are featured in A&F’s monthly in-store playlists by joining this Yahoo! Group: AbercrombieStoreMusic.]
