Free Music From Little Boots
Little Boots caught the synth world’s attention in the last year with her combination of looks, talent and gear.

Robert Henke, aka Monolake, is offering a unreleased track at his site, Decay, as a free download from his site.
This track is from June 2006. I found it on a backup drive whilst searching for something else.
When I made it, I soon felt something is missing, it sounded old and nostalgic too me, a dead end, a film watched way too often. Now, i feel even more distant to it.
During the last two years my musical interest moved away from anything that could be labeled ‘minimal techno’, a genre that became totally empty, uninspired and formalized. A straight bassdrum beat does not make me dance anymore.
Enjoy it as nice background. I tested it for washing dishes, sorting invoices and watering flowers. It worked quite well.

If you’re a Synthtopia reader and you’re not checking the Free Music tab every now and then, you’re missing out. Every week, we’ve got free music for you, like the motherload of free Moog downloads last week, the DJ mixes of Noah Pred or the free music from Synthtopia readers.
Today we’ve got a voluptuous helping of sensual ambient and space music courtesy of AD Music, a label that specializes in ambient music, synth music and space music:
You’ll find complete tracks up to 8 minutes long (or 8 minute edits if longer pieces) from albums old and new plus exclusive tracks not previously available. We’ll even be adding sneak previews of forthcoming music. So the page will be in a constant state of flux, with music being added and occasionally deleted from the selection.
All MP3’s are at 160kbps.
Here are a few examples from AD:

Last week, I asked for Synthtopia readers to send in some tracks to share, via the SoundCloud Drop Box in the right sidebar of the site.
We’ve had a ton of cool submissions that we’ve featured previously:
And the tracks keep coming in!
This batch is embedded using the standard Synthtopia player, rather than the SoundCloud one, because the tracks were sent directly to me via the site:
