How do you keep up with new music?

Post by antics » Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:37 am

I've found myself quite out of the loop, particularly with dubstep, and I'm wondering if anyone has any good ways of finding new tunes or knowing what's about?

Podcasts are pretty good too. I recommend:

The Expansion Broadcast
Electronic Explorations

But there's so much stuff coming out that its easy to get trapped in old patterns of exposure and miss out on a whole bunch of new, interesting music -- the best thing you can do is fight to keep your mind open, keep checking out new sites, shows and podcasts.

Keep it fresh, its the best way to keep from getting old.

When i'm lazy i just listen to my beatport-updates... Once you follow artists or labels on there it will show you the release on the front page. Otherwise i check Here(duh), chemical, red eye, mixtapes and other pages.

On a lot of mailing lists find that the best way such as bookmat and hyperdub and chemical recordsdubstep, but if you love the music this will all be something you wont need to think about as you will always cruise around this sites as i do :)
