no but seriously, just follow the trail.
find an artist you like and look at the labels they are on then look at those artists
rinse and repeat.
good call fox, i learned about tunes through getting compilations, then looking for the tunes that i liked off those discs, then looking on the labels for similar artists.
that works too but i find compilations to be generally shit/mainstream. but i guess if u find ones u like then all the moar power to ya. the only real comps. we get are MoS... fael
the internet is a powerful tool, and google is your friend.
Find good funk/house DJ's you like, find tracklistings for their live sets and then dig from there.
yeah that was before i had net access, now those discs are gathering dust!
