NCS (NoCopyrightSounds)

📖 What is NCS (NoCopyrightSounds)?

A record label offering free copyright-safe music for creators, focused on EDM, house, and trap. Every track can be used free in videos and streams, and won't trigger a claim as long as you follow the terms — even on monetized content. Usage requires crediting the track and artist name with a link to NCS; during a live stream, simply saying "Music provided by http://spoti.fi/NCS" is enough. Since this is a free license for individual creators, corporate brand promotion or embedding tracks into games requires a separate Commercial License application.

💡 When to Use It

A go-to choice for game streams and FPS/action gameplay when you want western EDM for hype moments. It works free of copyright claims even on monetized, archived channels. It's also a favorite for waiting-screen BGM before a stream and for scoring clips and highlight reels. Picking the Instrumental version keeps the lyrics from clashing with your commentary, making it easy to use even in talk-heavy streams.

📋 Basic Info

🚀 How to Use

1. Step 1: Open the Music page on ncs.io and filter tracks by Genre (Electro, House, Trap, etc.) or Mood (Happy, Dark, Epic, etc.).
2. Step 2: Preview each track with the Play button — if you don't want it clashing with your commentary, switch from Regular to the Instrumental version.
3. Step 3: Download the track you like via the Download button and load it into OBS's "Media Source" or your streaming BGM player.
4. Step 4: Copy the credit text from the track's description on NCS's official YouTube channel (youtube.com/nocopyrightsounds) and paste it into your own video description. For live streams, stating "Music provided by http://spoti.fi/NCS" is also acceptable.
5. Step 5: For corporate brand promotion or embedding a track in a game, apply separately through the Commercial License form on the Usage Policy page.
