MAP – Music Alliance Pact

This isn’t an album or a band but rather a music blog that’s worth checking out. It’s not technically a blog but more a collection of thirty five blogs from around the world that come together once a month to recommend one unknown artist from their country. So if you have an inkling to listen to indie music from Indonesia or Breakbeat from Brazil then this will suit you down to the ground. The music can be a little hit and miss, a lot of it isn’t great but every now and again you’ll come across a gem, however it’s always interesting particularly if you just want to listen to something a bit different. All of the tracks featured on the blog every month are available as a free legal download as a single zip file. You should be able to find the blog if you search for Music Alliance Pact but you can also find it at sedesplease.com and the guardian’s website.
