Alex I have been doing that now and it seems to be working a lot better now that I have hours to spend on searching for music. I love the fact that beatport has that +favorite LABEL/ARTIST.
So I have like 50-100 FAV artists and 20-30 Labels and growing, and since beatport has that marker for new things added within 7 days you can keep up really easy. Looking through the top 100 charts isn't a bad idea too.
The only problem for me is music that you guys enjoy right now which is the "mainstream underground" I would call is tech house, and the lighter shades of minimal techno.
Lately I have really been enjoying the darker percussive tribalish minimal tech house, with a rolling bass line, something like Suedmilch - Roberto Mario, and those few tracks that I posted before by Sascha Khron and Reboot Remix of that Stardub track.
Son-Tec - Edge is one of my top tracks right now.
That new release Springbond - Frequencies ......
I also enjoy a lot of techno out there but that's not a problem for me to find at all, plenty of good stuff out there.
But hey I guess everybody faced this at one point, and the only solution is to spend hours browsing through the new releases and maybe find that 10 % of those releases are of the kind you like and maybe 1% is actually amazing.
