Hum?
Green Tone Bits is a monthly MP3Jing session that aims to expose and share some of the finest free digital music, mostly released by Netlabels and/or under Creative Commons licenses.
It takes place once a month on a Friday (check back often for each month’s date), from 22:30 to 02:00 (GMT), at Ogâmico bar - Lisbon (next to Príncipe Real and Bairro Alto), Portugal (view map). Free entrance.
Presented by Dinis Correia and Ricardo Mestre (aka Pseudónimo), each Green Tone Bits session covers various music genres (featuring artists from all over the globe), but generally electronic music is the theme.
Erm…
Some say that free music is the future of the music industry. But why wait for the future when thousands of artists are already making their music available for free?
Free netaudio / netlabel music should also be heard offline. It should be played everywhere.
And really, aren’t the good things in life supposed to be free?
Ah!
The playlist for each session will be published shortly after on the Updates page. Make sure to visit our website or subscribe to our RSS feed.
If for some reason you can’t make it to Ogâmico bar - oh, shame on you! - you can still listen live to the sets from the comfort of your own computer. All you need to do is tune to the live stream, by clicking on the fancy tab located on the left side of the site.
