how do YOU find sick tunes

[miig]

blogs, beatport, juno, boomkat, mixes, promo lists, youtube

[luthervandub]

Just going out to nights and hearing them first hand

If your going to hear the newest tunes they will more than likely get played in the dance first

Then look out for new mixes from producers and check myspaces

This forum aswell obviously

SoundCloud. I also like to find any new artists on favourite labels that always provide quality music. Listening to a good mix is also a good favourite on discovering great new tunes.

how do you personally go about finding amazing tunes. personally i do the following: listen to dubstep.fm talk in the chat on live shows and ask for song id's. download mix's off this forum with tracklists and take down the names of the good tunes. i browse sites like juno, beatport, chemical records, and dubstep-tunes.net for tunes. browse the dub section of this forum. that said, i still find that im not broadening my horizons enough, as I still always hear killer tunes on radio shows and live shows that ive never heard before.

so, how do you increase your dubstep library?

If you really want the goods, start selling vinyl records to your friends. Develop good working relationships with music distributors sending records world-wide. Not only will you be getting the goods you can spin for 20,000 people a pop, but you can also start your own label (now that you are good with distribution.) If you are gonna DJ then why not use your contacts to sell records. Find artists you like develope your brand and artists. Then one day you'll have everything in place to launch a good small inde label (and you won't be dependant on selling mp3s.)

i check redeye and chemical for sample clips, then i buy the good ones. that's about it. if it's a dubplate, then i don't care.

Blogs, dsf, nights out, and just random browsing on stuff like soundcloud.
Can't be bothered with radio/mixes tbh, unless its Radio 1 on a friday and I'm drinking. End up hearing a lot of tunes in low quality that don't come out for ages/ever. (Although having said that, first time I heard Fostercare was right at the end of a mix I randomly downloaded and thats probably one of my favourite tunes.)

I blackmail the DJ until they give me their tune!
