Finding Music

[rhopkins]

Boomkat and Bleep are my favourite sites. Follow the right people on Twitter to get good recommendations. Listen to lots of podcasts and mixes. Boiler Room always have great people in.

finally someone with a similar taste!

Who has been your favourite Producer this year? Quite hard for me to say anyone other than Blawan. Really enjoyed Midland's releases and remixes this year too and I still have a soft spot for Scuba, even if he seems to be releasing similar tracks each time. Really like his Hotflush label.

and then of course you have the Joy O & Boddika vinyl only releases this year which have been a lot of fun.

Using Beatport and their "My Beatport" function (= you add artists and labels to your "watchlist" and get all of the releases). I am just using this for years now and I am very happy with it.

Don't you find Beatport really expensive? For the stuff I buy they are always 50p (at least) more expensive per track.

Yes, but I find everything I would like to buy over there. At different shops I have to dig deep to find what I am looking for. I have tested a lot of shops (audiojelly, djdownload, trackitdown.net, vonyc, whatpeopleplay,...) but no one ever could compete with the offered tracks at beatport. All in one place :-(

I know what you mean. I buy most stuff from Boomkat, although increasingly iTunes as their pricing is good (although sometimes to the detriment of quality) but I'll find the same tracks on Beatport and use their preview as the Boomkat one plays the first 2 minutes, often missing the drop.

I saw the sits you mentioned, but one question:

Where do you suggest finding EDM? (House, Electro, DnB, Dubstep etc.)

[Blackbrook]

Asking me those site are worth a look:

Beatport
TrackItDown
What People Play
DJ Download
Audiojelly - mostly Trance
Dance Tunes
