T-FREE was a
netlabel
for technoid Drum & Bass, from percussive Techno-DNB to deep Neurofunk
(some of the 3-EPs were more experimental).
It started out as a sister label to
Tilt-Recordings
(and sub-project of Trio-Music) and was active from August 2005 to July 2011;
in that time 219 tunes (116 releases) were put out as free mp3 downloads.
There never was an official T-FREE logo
(though the Tilt-Recordings logo was used for promo purposes sometimes)
and no artwork for the releases (except for the label collaborations and T-FREE-LP002);
the main effort was put into the essentials, music selection and information structure.
All T-FREE releases in one zip file:

All tunes released on T-FREE have been published under a Creative Common License.
Everybody can legally download, copy, burn and share them,
play them on parties, on radio shows, in mixes (CD/tape/mp3/whatever) and podcasts,
use them in videos, video games, apps, widgets, theatre plays and whatever...
it is possible even in Germany to play them publically without paying royalties to the GEMA,
because all tunes on T-FREE are GEMA-free (produced by artists who are not members of such a copyright collective).
In this respect "T-FREE" associates not just with "cost-free" but also with "freedom!"
Only two things are not cool: to sell the tunes and to change them without properly crediting the original name and the changes.

Mad respect goes to the artist whose contributions made this project possible!
And needless to say, the peers involved in the two label collabo releases.
A big thank you to sonicSQUIRREL.net who have been friendly providing mirrors to the netlabel community and T-FREE for many years.
Furthermore, thanks to
Ron Wechselberger, Mocks, Polarity, the Dangerous Minds, Massl and xplizit
for mirrors at various points in the T-FREE history.
And finally BIGUP to David Badger... few follow.
