Seeing all of the recently Boom Bap Labs releases reminded me of the 2010's era of sampling. BLOGS
Links are dead on some these days on some, but wayback machine scraped the ones that didnt use mediafire etc

Feel free to add more, especially funk/soul

 

This isnt funk/soul but I really like this blog :
https://music-republic-world-traditional.blogspot.com/
Old records of traditional music from all over the world - flac/mp3. The guy does a great job.

 

I think this is the only one I still follow:

awesome thank you. i am hoping this thread serves to archive some of these obscure music blogs. Not just funk
I found this album yesterday and have been making strange pads with the 3rd song in serum: https://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/2009/12/lt-caramel-st-tape-198-france.html
I had to search it out on youtube since links were dead... but it still helped me discover A3 Portraits D'un Assassin 15:01

EDIT:
The one you posted is a gold mine.

 

Found some more:
https://bluetvset.blogspot.com/ - 7'' from the underground
https://www.systemsofromance.com/blog/ - post-punk/industrial etc

used to be a way of life ... I'll never forget Owl Quaida's Holy Warbles (long gone)
Holland Tunnel Dive was superb, some suspected Owl Quaida's hand in that one.
Now we are left with the bold and the few:
https://butterboycompilations.blogspot.com/
https://zerosounds.blogspot.com/
https://globalgroovers.com/
https://goodmusicfromearth3.blogspot.com/
https://africanisimo2211.blogspot.com/
https://egrojworld.blogspot.com/
you could start there and let their blogrolls lead you elsewhere.
It used to be a massive and thriving eco-system of people ... enlightening one another , then came the takedowns and well ... capitalism.
Which loves nothing more than to post guards to prevent the dissemination of knowledge and suppress our own understanding of our own cultures,
resist replay, repost!

 

Music for Maniacs was always good for a laugh, really weird and forgotten shit there.

Looks like the blogger moved to republishing tunes on Bandcamp and a lot of the links there are dead. Fair enough I suppose. But you can still look up artists, because who could live without knowing Gravy Train and their absolute banger of a tune "Titties Bounce"? (it exists, look it up on youtube)

 

With nowday tools you can basically do what Boom Bap Labs is doing with your favorite records from obscure blogs. Obviously not for using on your compositions, because cratedigging sampling production is dead today, but it's so cool that you can study the tonal and processing characteristics of records of last century. Nice thread.

 

This blog attract my attention: unconventional music finally. It has also flac download

 

I can't stand mp3s anymore, music has to be Flac. Here's some lossless, Hi-rez and also DSD links:

https://findflac.com/
https://mundodowavlossless.blogspot.com/2025/05/

In any case, the whole Flac download scene is now on telegram
