Not gonna lie. I look forward to Couch-a-chella every year. Nothing better than seeing new bands I've never heard of in the comfort of my own home.
Highlights this year:
Turnstile - Hardcore Punk band - apparently I've been living in a hole as I've never heard of these guys. They were GREAT and now on my Spotify playlist.
Mind Enterprises - Italo Disco duo - Never heard of these guys but was impressed by their fun music and presentation. They ended up performing at a local (legendary) venue on the Sunset Strip called the Roxy. Ended up buying one of their shirts.
Wetleg - never heard of them until a friend said to check them out. Very impressed!
The XX - Heard of them but was never interested. Found them to be really cool to watch.
Nine Inch Noise - Holy !!!

Lots of really great acts across the board at Coachella this year, I agree!
If you're into exploring more top tier indie + up and coming music, I highly reccommend the radio station KEXP. You can stream it on the web, and they have a ing excellent Youtube channel that airs live in-studio performances, with arguably some of the best sound engineering going.
NPR's Tiny Desk always showcases an awesome broad range of live performances as well.

Any suggestions for underground house and techno? Thats really why I came back here.

I do admit I also enjoy watching Dj sets from my living room on youtube.

Can't be bothered to make a thread to ask for more but love a good radio station recommend. Have added it to our kitchen. We usually listen to jazz, classical, electronica and downtempo stuff so this will sound refreshing.
Agree with Tiny Desk. Good for the kidos. Mine digs Mac Miller.
Silky Johnson
Yeah that Mac Miller performance is one of the best guests of all time.

A major go-to of mine for years is WeFunk Radio. Killer funk, soul, breaks, hip hop, rare groove, afrobeat, etc etc etc, out of Montreal! Diggers heaven. Samples on samples on samples.
