I’ve always liked music a lot, especially dance music. My favorit genres are techno & minimal and some other ones. I discovered that if you like this kind of music that there are some good sources to get more information on what is hot at the moment.

One site I would to mention is Beatport.

This is music download site (legal) that focusses on the dance music around the world, you’ll find lots of genres on their site. It’s there I discovered some of my favorit artists like Kolombo, Henrik Schwarz, … Prices are democratic but sometimes you just don’t want to pay for it. If that sounds like you I recommend the to beatport burners podcast. This is an interactive podcast that brings you the new release in the scene and you can listen to full versions. When you hear something you like you can use the interactive feature to go directly to beatport and purchase the track.

Another nice source is Essential Music Blog

This is a blog-like site – as the name indicates – where releases are posted. I haven’t been able to discover if this site is legal, but since it seems to be sponsored by beatport I guess it is. Anyways it’s an excellent source to discover new artists.
