If you like collecting FLACs, try here

If you like collecting FLACs, here's a good source if you are into the labels that they offer, basically you can subscribe to different labels and have access to FLACs of all their new releases. It is mostly indie electronica and rock, but they've been adding new labels every month or so. They have Sub-Pop, David Byrne's label Luaka Bop, and Ninja Tune, among others.

Each label subscription is $8-15 per month (some labels release more frequently than others). With most subscriptions, when you start, you get a certain amount of releases you can "unlock" from their back catalog and then you get everything moving forward.

It is the only service I know that offers anything like this.

My favorites are Ninja Tune and Ghostly.

Thanks for sharing!

Good ole Ninja Tune, I hadn't heard that name in quite a long time. They do have some pretty dang good artists for their genre.

Some of their new releases are incredible, artists like Machinedrum, Beat Spacek, The Bug, Bonobo, FaltyDL.

Plus their mastering is usually quality compared to other indie electronic music labels. Most of it is done by http://www.theairlab.com/

Dang, making me feel old. I dunno any of those guys

Guess I got some new material to check out.

I was thinking more:

Amon Tobin
Cold Cut
DJ Vadim
Herbaliser
Seems like Prefuse 73 used to be on that label.

You know, the classics

I'm 37, with what you mentioned you are probably around my age.

Those are some of my favorites too. Coldcut owns the label of course but hasn't released any new material themselves in like 10 years.

Amon Tobin is still very active. Vadim is still around.

If you like the artists you mentioned, you'll like their new artists for sure.

Not all of the older stuff is available as FLAC (they usually at least have WAV) but all of the newer stuff is.

Yeah, that's about right.

I didn't realize that Coldcut owned the label. And, like I mentioned, I hadn't even heard anybody talk about that label in quite a while. Which is kind of a shame cuz I definitely like what I've heard, it seems to me that they are fairly selective of their artists.
