How do you find the music you like?

I listen to a ton of live sets and search forums. How about you?

Posted by Ted Promo on Jun-21-2008 17:08:

downloading artists I've never heard of, and using sites like discogs and last.fm to find suggestions. I rarely listen to livesets any more.

Hype and already favorite artists.

Random browsing is usually what it comes down to.

Exploration of sp... I mean, Internet. Discogs, P2P and stuff.

Listen to livesets. Write down the track I like. Search for other works that the artists have done. Looks at who they did remixes for. Look at the record label their releases are on. Also random searching on sites liek Beatport.

various forums & last.fm

mixes (usually from lesser known djs than 'superstars') and download stores, myspace, whatever paths there are tbh.

I ask people in forums.. than they recommend me like 6-7 albums.. I like 2-3 out of them.. than I search for all the albums of 2-3 I liked.. and listen to them.. this whole cycle take a time period of 2 months.. and another 1 month to get finally bored/satisfied of listening to them over and over again..

Than I repeat the whole cycle again.. and just eliminate the ones already recommended to me before and proceed further..
