Soft Phase is a netlabel that distributes freely downloadable, Creative Commons licensed music on the internet. There’s a wide range of music styles, electronic or acoustic, but the amount of releases is limited.
One of the albums we like most is from Mosaik called “Leandi”. It’s melodic and ambient electronic music with an surprising high quality (to be free). Like the people behind Soft Phase told us, these artists are passionate about their music and it shows.
Mosaik is Swedish. The music has slightly retro styled mood to it, where melodies are the heart of it all, truly faithful to his unique style. And while the surrounding sounds carries a modern edge, all this together makes you wish the atmosphere and the warmth from the songs would remain in the room long time after it has finished playing.

Meet thinner. thinner is a German label offering electronic music since 1998 and has accumulated over two million mp3 downloads.
The techno genre, found at thinner, can be described as “dub-inspired” i.e. some permutation of a fusion of dub with house, techno, or even ambient music. Some is defined as “dubby techhouse” or “ntelligent dub”. You’ll find “minimalism” as well, although dub-influences are clearly the predominant inspiration behind the general flavor of the thinner sound.
