rather than sit around and have tv/friends/culture tell me what music to like, i actually go out and search directly from label shops both digitally and in record stores or make my own music. as a DJ/Producer if i talk to someone and they already know which track I'm talking about, its essentially obsolete.
+1, I find most of my music by writing down songs and artists I hear on that station (and Space Station on soma). Usually trying to track down those songs leads me to the far corners of the net and invariably I run across a ton more music I like in the process.musicmachine wrote:+1 for soma fm.Check out groove salad for a eclectic mix of good music

When I'm looking for drum and bass its a combination of listening to loads of DJ mixes downloaded from all over, plowing through the new releases on http://www.redeyerecords.co.uk & going to the record shop and talking to the guy who I have bought from for the last 4 years.
The latter is always the most satisfying chatting in the shop, thumbing through boxes of records, but I always find that the time:music-I-want ratio is always higher when buying online.
Any other style of music generally finds me in that I have alot of DJ mates who play all sorts of music from funk, jazz and soul to dub step, breaks and electronica.

I use radiolover on cliqhop (another soma) which records directly into my radiolover playlist in itunes. after a workday I have 8 hours of new random music I can quickly sort through. I end up deleting like 95% of it but the 5% is pretty interesting (ie David Last, John Tejada, Thomas Fehlmann, Burnt Friedmann, etc)Tarekith wrote:+1, I find most of my music by writing down songs and artists I hear on that station (and Space Station on soma).

Then proceed as described by Tarekith. There is a world of excellent music out there that you never knew existed.

many ways
radio stations here in Argentina.
friends, hehehe
www.metacritic.com
that is a good one. I check the list of the greatest albums of 2004-2005-2006-2007
the critics are a balance of all major critics in the real world.
that is how i started listening to sufjan stevens 3 years ago.
I download music from everybody i don't know, listen to it, if i like it get much more of that artist, if i dont i check a new artist on the list.
see ya

theres tons of good stuff out there. myspace can be confusing, but theres hope out there. look through some of your friend's list at some of the bands. for instance the other day i found amanda blank, which lead to sweatheart, which lead to ratatat (which i knew about, didn't know they had a myspace page, just using it as an example), which lead to dan deacon, and so on and so forth.
tv on the radio is the best shit out there right now. i'd highly recommend checking those guys out if you haven't heard them yet.
then after you do find stuff that you like a lot, beatport or itune that shit

Let's face it all the best tunes still come out on vinyl.
sources on where to look on the net and you exchange good findings on
messenger like I do
But one thing is for sure, it asks alot of time to find hot unknown tracks
I mostly down like 50 or 60 new tracks each day and I hardly keep 5 of
them
I got like 5 places I go regulary (2 mp3-sites and 3 private forums)
and I never miss a good track
