Free Stuff: New Music From Jensen

Jensen has updated their site again and are offering a collection of new MP3s for your downloading pleasure. There are 15 new artists to sample, and I do have to compliment Jensen on their eclectic mix of cutting edge tracks. Blake9's "Always Something" is a cool hip-hop cut with decent bass beats and a good flow - more of an underground hip hop sound. If you like something a little more upbeat, the Cool Kids "Miami Beach" will probably be more your style. The backbeat reminded of old school 2 Live Crew - deep 808 bass beats and snares, but woudl sound pretty bad ass on some subs. JD73's instrumental track "Distorted Dreams" had a jazzy electronic sound that reminded me of jam band favorites Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Particle. The Toxic Avenger track "Escape" wasn't quite my style, more of a club anthem type sound with a slight breakbeat feel, but those into that sort of thing will probably enjoy it. The collection mainly consists of hip hop and electronics sounds, but metalheads will appreciate the fast pace and heavy sounds of Kingdom of Sorrow's "Led Into Demise". All-in-All, Jensen did a pretty good job pulling together some really good tracks among a broad selection of genres that shoudl offer a little something for everybody. Anything catch your ear?

Free Stuff: New MP3s Courtesy of Jensen

Every few weeks I hop over to Jensen's website to check out their collection of MP3s. I'm one of the rare people in this world that have yet to hop on the BitTorrent bandwagon, and I actually pay for my MP3s (Thanks, iTunes). So whenever there's a chance to (legally) get free MP3s, I hop on it. Jensen offers 16 totally free MP3's for your listening pleasure, as well as free bass tones should you want to test the limits of your low frequency transducers.

I'm an electronic music and hip-hop fan, so most of the stuff I liked on their site fell in these genres. I dug Element's "Chucks," this track offers a smooth West Coast laid-back hip hop style. It actually reminded me a bit of the Northwest sounds. Plastic Little's "I'm Not a Thug" is a pretty cool track. Reminds me of a mash-up of Gorillaz with a mix of Fat Boy Slim on a hip-hop tip. Most of the tracks were cool and I look forward to trying them out in my car.

Jensen Hooks you Up with Free Tunes!

Looking for some new tunes to freshen up your stale collection? Jensen has updated their site with a slew of new MP3s, and they're all still FREE. And that's my favorite kind. They've thrown up a pretty good mix this time; a little bit of something for everybody. I dug the 9th Wonder track, and Arsun F!st's flow on "Hungry" made for a nice chill hip hop track. DJ DJ Wallas & The Flamemakers "Elektrofunk" had some nice beefy beats and a hint of the typical "club anthem" sound thrown in. But System 7's "I Move"  was probably my favorite of the electronic offering. Secret and Whisper's "XOXOXO" kind of reminded me a bit of early Jane's Addiction, good stuff. Hop on over to Jensen's website and check out the selection for yourself. And even if you don't like what you hear, quit bitchin', they're free!
