History

In 2005, internationally renowned musician and activist Moby launched mobygratis as a free music resource designed to empower creative projects by students, non-profits, indie filmmakers, musicians, producers, rappers, singers, animators, choreographers, songwriters, remixers, and more. Over the past two decades, this groundbreaking initiative has supported over 50,000 indie films and media projects, becoming a cornerstone for creatives in need of high-quality, royalty-free music.

What’s New in 2025?

This year, Moby and Little Walnut Productions are proud to re-launch mobygratis with phenomenally expanded functionality and resources, making it the most robust iteration yet. Here’s what to expect:

• Over 300 Unreleased Tracks: With the addition of 300 previously unreleased tracks, mobygratis provides creators with a revolutionary platform for accessing restriction-free music. This collection is part of an anarchist experiment in creative freedom, allowing unprecedented access to high-quality compositions.
• High-Resolution Multitrack Audio: Previously available only as stereo masters, mobygratis now offers hundreds of multitrack audio files. These high-resolution tracks invite collaboration by enabling creators to remix, customize, and fully adapt the music to their unique projects, fostering a spirit of shared creativity and innovation. Formats include stereo MP3, stereo WAV, and multitrack WAV—all completely free.
• Improved Search and Filter Functionality: Whether you need something downtempo, melancholy, driving, or whimsical, mobygratis now allows you to search based on the exact emotion you’re hoping to evoke in the scene. 
• Inclusive and Ethical Use: Moby remains committed to providing music that aligns with his values of compassion and ethical responsibility. The music on mobygratis cannot be used to advertise right-wing politics, causes, or promote meat, dairy, or other animal products.
• Creative Freedom: Whether you’re scoring a short film, remixing a track, creating a social media post, or choreographing a dance piece, mobygratis gives you the tools to create with unlimited potential.* Share your creative projects and join the global community by using the hashtag #mobygratis.
