Free music Philosophy

http://starfrosch.ch/

Starfrosch is a mp3 blog that recently I browse on a weekly basis. According to its self description, Starfrosch is a user driven mp3 blog with podcasts. Users from all over the world register and summit news to Starfrosch and go through the process to join this community blog. Basically, Starfrosch is one of the organizations to transmit the free music philosophy.

What is free music philosophy?
It is an anarchistic grass-roots, but high-tech, system of spreading music: the idea that creating, copying, and distributing music must be as unrestricted as breathing air, plucking a blade of grass, or basking in the rays of the sun. (The Free Music Philosophy)


So how do we submit music?
Once a music track or a video is submitted by a user it is posted in the moderator queue. The moderator team decides which stories to promote. Starfrosch learns from your voting and makes personal recommendations. The more you vote for your favourite music, the better are the recommendations.

If you love finding new bands on the net, then Starfrosch (starfrog) based in Cham, Switzerland is for you. It's one of the worlds largest quality controlled podcast sites, where you can watch and listen to artists from places as diverse as Jamaica and Israel. Vote on your favourites and they'll recommend (like Amazon/iTunes) other hidden gems from all over the world.

Basically, the blog updating in an irregular basis. It is decorated simply and crystal clear to navigate. It is categories in blog, profile, browse category, recent comments, more features. The reason why I like this blog is it has a lots of music genre especially electro, ambient and downtempo that I am obsess with. Most of the music they introduced I never heard about it and even hardly get information on Google. Moreover, in my opinion, Scandinavian artists are fascinating in those music genres. As been mentioned before, this blog posts the music not only by European artists but also in a global area like Slovenia, Israel, and Russia etc.

The weakness of Starfrosch is it’s based in Switzerland so that some blogs are written in non-English. Except that, I cannot think of anything else. Due to my personal interest of enlectro, ambient and downtempo or music that has heavy beat, I chose this blog to discuss and I think it’s a really good blog. Go & check it out. It rocks.
