Finding high-quality free melody loops can be a challenge for music producers. While popular platforms like Splice dominate the scene, there are several hidden gems and lesser-known websites offering fantastic free melodic content. Below, we’ve curated the top 10 underrated sites for free melody loops in 2025. The first five are hidden gems you might not know about, and the latter five are larger platforms (honorable mentions) that still provide excellent free melody loop kits.

1. WAVS.com

WAVS is an emerging platform delivering inspiring, high-quality samples and song-starters. It offers a dedicated Free Samples section with premium loops available at no cost, making it perfect for producers of all levels. WAVS’s slick workflow (including a VST plugin for search & drag-and-drop) means you can stay in the creative zone. Nearly half the library is royalty-free; the rest just needs clearance if your track blows up.

2. Slooply

Slooply is a cloud-based platform boasting over 2 million sounds for producers. It provides thousands of loops, sample packs, one-shots, MIDI files, and presets across genres like Hip-Hop, Trap, EDM, House, Lo-Fi, and more. The best part is Slooply’s commitment to free content: you can download free samples and even full Free Sample Packs without using any credits. All sounds on Slooply are 100% royalty-free, meaning you can use their melody loops in your personal or commercial projects with no worries. Slooply’s interface makes it easy to filter by instrument, genre, mood, or key to find the perfect loop. For an underrated site, it feels as robust as the big names—offering high-quality loops to jumpstart your creativity and “help you easily find and download the sounds you need to boost your creativity and workflow.”

3. WavWarehouse

WavWarehouse is a boutique sample library marketplace created “by sample makers, for sample makers”. This platform may be under the radar, but it’s rapidly gaining a following for its quality and community-driven approach. WavWarehouse offers a vault of free sound packs for beat makers – including melody loops and samples for everyone, with plans to continually add more. For example, their Free Pack Volume 1 introduced a collection of loops and was warmly received by producers online. Many of the packs on WavWarehouse focus on specific vibes or genres (from dark hip-hop melodies to jazzy chord loops), all meticulously crafted by emerging talent. To access the freebies, you might need to create a free account or subscribe to their newsletter (they often share a link to their “free vault of sounds” for subscribers). If you’re hunting for unique melody loops that not everyone is using, WavWarehouse is a hidden gem worth exploring.

4. UNKWN Sounds

UNKWN Sounds was founded by producer UNKWN (Phillip Chang), a Korean-American DJ and multi-instrumentalist whose work blends electronic, R&B, and hip-hop influences. Since its launch in 2020, UNKWN Sounds has earned the trust of tens of thousands of producers by providing top-notch original compositions and sample packs. This boutique library/marketplace features an array of inspiring melody loops, often as part of thematic packs (soulful chord progressions, dark experimental loops, etc.). They periodically release freebies – for instance, Freebies Vol. 1 offered 10 original compositions from various contributing artists. To grab the free kits, you typically fill out a quick form or sign up, and then you’re able to download the pack, these may only be available for a limited time. The quality is standout – these loops are often on par with premium packs, since they’re made by skilled producers in the UNKWN collective. UNKWN Sounds’ library spans many genres (Electronic, Soul, Latin, Gospel, etc.), making it a treasure trove of inspiration for producers who want fresh melodies. It’s an underrated site where each loop feels like it was made to spark a new track idea.

5. Vox & Textures

Vox & Textures is a niche sample label specializing in atmospheric melody loops, soulful vocal samples, and immersive textures. It’s a hidden gem for producers seeking sounds that add mood and character to their tracks. Vox & Textures offers a carefully curated collection of multi-kits, many of which are free to download. In fact, the site encourages you to “unleash your creativity in the studio with our meticulously crafted free sound packs. Elevate your music production game effortlessly.”. These free packs cover everything from haunting vocal loops and one-shots to analog synth phrases and ambient textures. Each free kit is presented as a $0 download on their site (e.g., V&T Vocal Loops, V&T Analog Textures, etc., all listed at $0.00). The sounds are high-quality and royalty-free – ideal for layering into your beats for extra flavor.

Honorable Mentions – Big Platforms with Free Loops

6. Tracklib (Honorable Mention)

Tracklib is famously known as the “home of sampling,” offering a catalog of 100,000+ real songs that producers can sample legally. In 2025, Tracklib expanded its platform with a complete library of royalty-free loops and one-shots integrated into their service. Now you can get the best of both worlds: classic records to sample and a huge selection of modern loops to build with, all in one place. While Tracklib is a subscription-based service, they make it easy to explore their content without commitment – starting a trial is completely free and comes with free credits. This means you can sign up and immediately dig into both their song catalog and the new royalty-free “Sounds” section. The loops on Tracklib are professionally curated by an in-house team of producers and crate-diggers, ensuring a high production standard and audio quality. Whether you need a jazzy piano riff or a catchy synth melody, Tracklib’s search filters (genre, key, BPM, etc.) help you pinpoint exactly what you need. For producers who haven’t tried it, Tracklib can be a game-changer – and with the free trial credits, it’s an excellent way to download some high-quality melody loops for free. (Just remember that after the trial, it’s a paid service; but the value it provides – including easy sample clearance – is immense.)

7. WhoSampled Crates (Honorable Mention)

WhoSampled Crates is a sample marketplace launched by WhoSampled, the well-known database of sample history. Crates offers exclusive sample packs from leading musicians and producers, plus a curated selection of sample-friendly stems from songs. In other words, it’s a paradise for finding loops that have the feel of old records but are 100% royalty-free and pre-cleared. Despite being a newer venture, Crates stands out by working with respected sound designers (for example, packs from names like Barry Beats and Beatnick Dee are featured). Crucially, WhoSampled Crates also provides free content in the form of Taster Packs. They’ve released Crates Taster Volume 1, 2, and 3 – each a free pack compiling select loops and samples from their premium releases. These taster packs (available as $0.00 downloads) let you get a feel for the quality on the platform without spending a dime. *Cover artwork of WhoSampled Crates Taster Volume 2 – one of several free “Taster” sample packs (each priced at $0.00 USD) that showcase the royalty-free loops available on Crates.* The free packs include everything from soulful chords and vintage-styled melodies to live drum breaks. Since WhoSampled Crates is backed by a community of sampling enthusiasts, you’ll find the loops here are not your generic stock sounds – they’re often quirky, funky, and rich in character. Grab those Taster packs and you might discover your next signature sample.

8. The Producer Crate (Honorable Mention)

The Producer Crate is an online marketplace that aggregates some of “the best soundkits on the internet, all in one place”. It features kits from Grammy-winning and multi-platinum producers as well as up-and-coming sound designers. What makes The Producer Crate special (besides its curated selection) is the sheer number of free loop kits and sample packs available. The site has an entire Free Kits section, where you’ll find items like [FREE] Community Crate Multikit Vol. 1, [FREE] Trap Starter Pack, [FREE] Lofi Starter Pack, and many more – all listed at $0.00. Typically these are either teaser packs (demos of larger products) or community-sourced packs, but they still contain tons of usable loops and one-shots. For example, the Community Sample Pack Vol. 1 includes 50 royalty-free melody samples across multiple genres, and the Insurgent Loop Kit (Metro Boomin x Kendrick style) was released free with 18 unique loops. The site’s layout makes it easy to find freebies: just sort by price or check the Free category. With such a range of genres (Trap, R&B, Hyperpop, etc.) represented, you can snag high-quality melody loops to fit almost any style. The Producer Crate is a bit of a one-stop shop – after grabbing the free kits, you might find yourself coming back to purchase some of their premium kits or presets as well. It’s a highly underrated resource for producers, especially considering how much content is given away for free.

9. Kitsi Marketplace (Honorable Mention)

Kitsi is a community-built marketplace for drum kits and sample packs, founded by veteran producer !llmind. Think of Kitsi as a decentralized store where many different creators sell (and sometimes share) their sound packs. It’s an extraordinary hub for discovering loops and samples from a wide range of producers – from well-known names to underground talent. While most products on Kitsi are paid, there are notable freebies if you keep an eye out. In the marketplace, some items are priced at $0.00: for instance, the “Free Swirl Sample Pack 2021” by Wylo is listed for free. Kitsi’s interface allows you to filter by genre or type, so you can quickly narrow down, say, all Trap melody loop packs or all free offerings. The ethos of Kitsi is “built by the community,” which means a lot of producers use it to distribute promotional packs or freebies to build their following. As a result, you can find high-quality melody loops (and even MIDI packs or preset packs) dropped for free, especially during holidays or product launches. Another example: producers sometimes advertise on social media (Twitter/Instagram) that their new loop kit is free for a limited time on Kitsi – these are great opportunities to grab fresh melodies. The platform also supports crypto payments (ETH/BTC) alongside regular payments, reflecting its modern approach to the producer community. If you want to support fellow producers and snag some unique loops, dig around Kitsi Marketplace’s listings – you might stumble upon a free gem that becomes the backbone of your next beat.

10. LANDR Samples (Honorable Mention)

LANDR Samples is the sample library arm of the LANDR platform (which many know for its AI mastering service). While LANDR is a larger, commercial platform, it absolutely deserves a mention for the free offerings and vast collection. LANDR’s sample library boasts over 3 million exclusive royalty-free samples – including melody loops in every genre imaginable. The sounds are sourced from top labels and artists, so they often have a “trend-setting” quality. Now, LANDR operates on a subscription model for full access, but they are quite generous to newcomers: you can create a free account with LANDR. With a free account or trial, you get a number of sample downloads for free (and access to audition many more through their web app or the free LANDR Samples plugin). Additionally, the LANDR blog frequently publishes round-ups of free sample packs and even releases some exclusive free packs of their own. For example, they’ve posted articles like “12 Free Loop Packs to Inspire Your Next Track” and “16 Free Sample Packs Every Producer Needs in 2025,” highlighting downloads that don’t cost a penny. Using LANDR’s search, you can filter for “free” to find any complimentary packs in their library. Moreover, the quality control on LANDR is excellent – loops are high fidelity (uncompressed WAV) and often crafted by professionals (some have credits with big artists, as LANDR noted producers in their Sounds library with credits for Drake, J. Cole, Anderson .Paak, and more). In short, even though LANDR Sounds is a major player, you shouldn’t overlook it when hunting for free melody loops. Leverage the free trial or account to download a handful of premium loops and see if they elevate your productions.

In conclusion, the landscape for free melody loops in 2025 is rich with options beyond the usual suspects. From the hidden gem websites (WAVS, Slooply, WavWarehouse, UNKWN Sounds, Vox & Textures) to the big platforms offering freebies (Tracklib, WhoSampled Crates, The Producer Crate, Kitsi, LANDR), you have a world of inspiration at your fingertips without spending a cent. Each of these sites brings something unique – whether it’s a specific genre focus, a community-driven library, or advanced tools to find the perfect loop. As a producer, it’s wise to bookmark these resources and check back regularly for new free releases. You never know when a random free loop from an underrated site could become the catchy hook or atmospheric background that defines your next hit track. Happy beat-making, and may the melodies flow!
