I&#8217;m really happy that the account is alive again, but things have obviously changed a lot in the scene since it first started. These days there are plenty of labels doing a very professional job of releasing new music for free, and so my original ambitious plans have been scaled back &#8211; that particular Horse has long since bolted.<\/p>\n<p>I reckon there&#8217;s still a place for tunes on TYFTH though, and from now on the SoundCloud will hopefully be performing two main roles. The first is to be a place for up-and-coming producers to get some extra publicity &#8211; the account already has quite a decent following, which now combines with infinite downloads and strength in numbers among all the other free tunes, making it a nice stepping stone to the &#8216;real&#8217; labels for new artists. The second role is to make some older tracks available that otherwise would be forgotten, starting tonight with the excellent\u00a0<em>Whipped <\/em>remix\/mashup.<\/p>\n<p>It should be clear already, but the account absolutely isn&#8217;t meant as a competitor to any of the other free labels out there, rather as a &#8216;training ground&#8217; before making the step up to better things\/an archive for older material. That doesn&#8217;t mean the tracks won&#8217;t be worth listening to, as I&#8217;ll be aiming to keep the standard high, even if it&#8217;ll be significantly lowered by any of my own tunes that end up there.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Tyranoid &amp; Strongstream for starting us off again with <em>Whipped<\/em>, a slightly edited mashup with the Substanced remix from many years ago. I have a few other tracks that were originally submitted back when the account went into hibernation, so there&#8217;ll be one or two of them going online every day or so next week. After that it&#8217;ll be dependent on submissions, so do feel free to get in touch if you think you might have something that fits the rambling description above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes indeed, this week&#8217;s announcement is the\u00a0return of free tunes on TYFTH, after being cryogenically frozen for a year or so.
