Free Halloween Music
Apparently nobody gives a shit about protecting the rights of Halloween music, cuz there’s a shitload of it for free on the internet. Here’s a few good resources and mixes I found.
Fever Ray - Resident Advisor Halloween Podcast
For those of you that don’t know, Fever Ray is a hipster favorite this year that has a pretty cool dark vibe themselves. They put out this solid mix of dark haunted sounding music. This is the soundtrack for the first hour of your indie snob party. Also, Resident Advisor is a great site for a variety of DJs & Mixes, mostly techno & house stuff. Gorilla vs. Bear put out a similar dark creeper mix.
These Are the Breaks Halloween Mix
From my favorite Canadian hiphop website, BeatStreet, comes this 2 hour mix by Avi Shack of deep old school Halloween themed hip-hop tracks. Though this mix has a lot of favorites, looks like Avi was really going for quantity on this mix as you will find that old school Halloween themed hip-hop tracks is not always the best idea. This is the soundtrack for the last 2 hours of your post DJ lonely dance floor.
A Spooky, Rocking, Surfing, Halloween Extravaganza
Here’s the fuckload from a true Halloween digger… that probably requires a significant amount of digging time for you as well to weed out some shit. 3 Volumes of a mostly rocking (some 93x, some hillbilly, some surfy) Halloween themed tunes and some spooky haunted house type stuff.
And if you are looking for the standards, Halloween Theme, Time Warp, Monster Mash, etc., I’ve found various shitty mixes with a variety of them for free, but iTunes has done a pretty good job of putting together an Essential Halloween Songs List.
