KarmaDownload.com was a place for anyone who loves music! As Europe´s largest legal download service for Independent music, you could choose from 250,000 MP3 tracks across 4,000 leading independent labels. I was head webdesigner during my 3 years at the company where we built the site to be one of the front-runners of the digital music market.
It´s was our mission to present real music fans the best new artists, tracks and bands that are emerging from your favourite music scene. And if you were looking for tracks and albums that have been put out through an independent label, KarmaDownload has a superstore of great music, all available to legally download and own forever!
From our head office in London, England, Karma´s A&R team presented recommendations and charts covering 20 music scenes. We work closely with all our label partners to present you with the most cutting edge new music and emerging talent that is worth getting into. And it wasn´t just signed artists, our unsigned section featured an amazing collection of acts you could soon be seeing hitting the big time.
On KarmaDownload, you could discover exclusive downloads and new music sections you won´t find anywhere else. Discover 10-Channels on the "Karma Radio Network" featuring the newest releases from your favourite music scene. Discover dedicated sections for every genre, artist and label featured on the site. Discover an advanced search engine to find your music, forums, playlists, vaults, sessions and a whole lot more.
Sadly through lack of funding KarmaDownload.com now ceases to exist. But here in this area of my site you will find screenshots of the site i built. Just click on the tree to the right to navigate around the logo´s, adverts, site screen shots and other areas of the site and the company.
