What is FreeMix?
FreeMix is a music sharing platform designed for remix culture. Think of it as Bandcamp reimagined for the open web — a place where producers share tracks and stems under clear, purpose-built licenses, and others can remix, sample, and build on that work with transparent attribution chains.
Built for Remix Culture
Section titled “Built for Remix Culture”At its core, FreeMix is about enabling creative collaboration. Producers upload tracks and stems. Other musicians remix, sample, and build on that material. Every derivative links back to its source through the remix tree, creating a visual lineage of how music evolves.
The platform is built for DJs, electronic music producers, and anyone who believes in the creative power of remixing.
The FreeMix License Framework
Section titled “The FreeMix License Framework”Most music sharing platforms rely on generic licenses — Creative Commons, or vague “all rights reserved” defaults that leave everyone guessing. FreeMix takes a different approach.
The FreeMix License Framework includes six license tiers designed specifically for music workflows:
- FM:Open — Public domain equivalent. Anything goes.
- FM:Remix — Remix and sample freely, with optional modifiers for credit, royalties, and more.
- FM:NC — Non-commercial use only.
- FM:Stems — Individual stems available, full track protected.
- FM:DJ — DJ edits and public performance allowed.
- FM:Samples — Creative building blocks with zero royalties.
Five optional modifiers let you fine-tune your license: Credit, Mix, Royalty, ShareAlike, and NoAI.
When you see a license like FM:Remix · Credit · Royalty(10%), you know exactly what’s allowed — no guesswork, no legal ambiguity.

Built on AT Protocol
Section titled “Built on AT Protocol”FreeMix is built on AT Protocol — the same open, decentralized protocol behind Bluesky. This means:
- Your identity is portable. Your account isn’t locked to FreeMix. You can move it to another provider at any time.
- Your data belongs to you. Your tracks, stems, profiles, and social connections are stored in an open format on your Personal Data Server (PDS).
- No walled gardens. FreeMix content is visible to any application on the AT Protocol network. Your music has reach beyond a single platform.
If you already have a Bluesky account, you can sign into FreeMix with it right now — no new account needed.
The Remix Tree
Section titled “The Remix Tree”Every remix on FreeMix links back to its source. When someone remixes your track, and then someone remixes that remix, you get a remix tree — a visual map of how a piece of music has branched and evolved through the community.
Attribution is automatic. Credit flows through the chain. And the original creator always knows where their music has traveled.
No Ads. No Algorithms. Music First.
Section titled “No Ads. No Algorithms. Music First.”FreeMix is a music platform, not an attention platform. There’s no algorithmic feed optimizing for engagement. No ads. No pay-to-play promotion.
You upload music. People find it. They remix it. That’s it.
Current Status
Section titled “Current Status”FreeMix is in alpha — available by invitation only. The core features are live: uploading, licensing, profiles, browsing, downloads, remix trees, and cross-posting to Bluesky.
Commerce features (royalty payments, name-your-price downloads) are planned for a future release. The platform is free to use.
