That's a great post!
Good little article on how to dig for music for new DJ's!
This will help out tons and tons of people. I picked up my way of music searching 2 -3 years before I started djing.
Now I have a bunch of different sites I scour.
Wait, dont people search/dig for music in the way listed anyway?!?!?!
Most definitely not. I dont touch beatport or any site like that at all.Quote:

Although there are some songs on beatport that I get just for pure banger status, usually if Im following said artist already and they made a sick sick jamma.Quote:

so true
Im not on about searching on Beatport specifically (And i find a few good tunes on Beatport, without discarding it out of hand, just because its beatport) But the method which he describes-Find labels, remixes, other tunes etc
