Discogs is my best friend.

Used to be random buys at the local music shops, but since most of them have closed down...

Browsing online shops like Amazon and Juno.

Large music communities like Discogs and Last.fm (and yes, even TA) are good for stumbling across unexpected gold too. I don't bother with blogs much, as too many of them seem specifically focused only on one or two sub-genres; I likes variety.

MTV and VH1

Well, in the past mainly by buying and listening many compilations and cd-singles at record stores.
Also asking the DJ's for tracknames at clubs which I visited.
Listend radio shows like Einslive partyservice and Radio538 Dance Department and searched for the tracklists the week after the show.

Now, still compilations, Youtube, forums, ASOT.

TA influenced my music taste alot. When I first came here about a year ago, I was just like the_voice in terms of EDM experience, but during this year I picked up alot of good artists, history, the development in different genres and so on. Pretty much switched from Armin van Buuren & Above & Beyond to Desyn Masiello, Holden, Gui Boratto, Villalobos, Luciano, Sasha etc.

So..thanks alot guys.

I think most of us can attest to some sort of influence we've had from TA.

That sounds almost like sarcasm. lol
But it's still the most basic way of finding new music.

I discover most new djs thru friends recommendations, or by listening to guest mixes on djs radio shows.

I find new producers on radio shows, as well as going on Beatport every now and then and checking out releases.
