Our music selections go 2 eleven! With soo much great music here at music2eleven, we thought that making a “classics” page of our most popular selections would be a great introduction to our ever expanding collection of free, legal mp3s.

Antibalas, “Beaten Metal”

“Beaten Metal” is the opening track on Brooklyn’s finest afrobeat band Antibalas’ 2006 release, Security, an album that showcases the bands move away from their Fela Kuti roots into more modern funk and electronic textures.

Sexy Kids, “Sisters Are Forever”

Bouncy, fun and charismatic…”Sisters Are Forever” is an electro-indie tune that catches your attention right from the start. You find yourself moving to the effervescent beats and singing along with this youthful, heart-thumpin’ little number. I wanna hear it again, and again, and again.

Death By Chocolate, “Ice Cold Lemonade”

If you’re an Anglophile who likes cute go-go pop, you’ve just found your musical grail. Death By Chocolate is utterly novel pop music – It is quirky, infectious, and somehow quintessentially British.

Rich Boy [ft. 607], “Drop (Remix)”

Rich Boy broke out after having huge success with his first single “Throw Some Ds.” Eventually people stopped singing the hook in their cars, and the remixes stopped showing up on every other blog. And when you are signed to a major label all they want is your next hit. Well, Rich Boy decided to flip the script and lace us with one of my favorite singles of 2009, “Drop.” This is hip-hop at it’s finest, the booming kick drum and vocal sample will have your head nodding and the lyrics are as clever as it gets.

Fol Chen, “The Believers”

San Francisco’s Fol Chen is going to be famous, well, around The Bay Area or in Japan at least. Look for these guys playing the Treasure Island Music fest’ soon. “The Believers” is off their first album, Part I: John Shade, You’re Fortune’s Made. It’s refreshing to hear indie music that turns its back on mediocre song writing.
