FREE Music Download of the Day – SXSW 2008

Annual entertainment festival releases new compilation with more than 3GB of music from emerging artists.

Last year I stumbled accross a worthwhile music compilation made available for free BitTorrent downlaod by teh folks over at the annual South by Southwest Music and Media Conference & Festival event in Austin, Texas. It’s that time of year again with just as large a swath of new music as before, and no doubt filled with as just as many brilliant emerging artists.

As I mentioned before, South by Southwest is a private company based in Austin, Texas that produces and creates conference and festival events for entertainment and related media industry professionals. For 20 years now SXSW has been producing the annual Music and Media Conference & Festival there, of which the last 3 it has been making songs from emerging artists available for free BitTorrent downlaod for music fans to listen to and spread word about the ones they enjoy.

What better way to advertise new music then for free downlaod using P2P right?

I haven’t had a chance to downlaod the entire thing myself just yet, but so far teh tracks I have are just as good of quality as the ones from last year.

Enjoy.
