Take a look at this DJ Pool http://www.beatjunkies.com/ . Lot of original edits without the redrum.
Take a 3 month subscription and you have a great collection for very little money.

No love for emusic or Boomkat? Some less obvious but fantastic tracks on both sites.
In addition to what is mentioned, I also find tracks off of podcasts via iTunes. They are usually split by specific genre. Most give the track listing in the details, so you can search on the music store of your choice.
this needs to be a sticky.
