Survey: How do you discover new music?

[Superfreak]

Done. I mainly use Beatport to find new music, if i like a track, i search through the record label that it was released on to find similar stuff, this always works for me, discovered some great labels this way, you gotta dig deep though, sometimes, get past all that commercial featured crap that site's promote and chuck in your face at first. Diggin' is the best way.

Also, one of my most favorite ways is to watch DJ sets on YouTube, even videos recorded from a half decent camera for only 5mins, people ID tracks in the comments sections all the time on there and you can find some real good music that way, after finding the track from youtube, go and look deeper into the label it was released on, or the artist(s).

I find this the best way, for me.

Done.

I stick away from charts, finding stuff randomly are where the real gems are.

+1 man, break through the featured chart rubbish and dig deep, deep into the abyss of music ha.

Following charts will never replace a bit of digging and hardwork for finding real gems. By their very nature, charts can only tell you what everyone else already knows.

Would have been good to have Boomkat and Bandcamp in there as options too. Maybe just me, but when I buy digital these days, I pretty much only buy from those two sites. I stuck them in under 'Other' so no damage done I guess.

i subscribe to label distributors.
They send like 6 - 30 new tracks a week with label and contact info.

Hell yeah!
That's why I find it hilarious when I get an e-mail from Beatport, "Check out these massive unheard gems!"
... What, the same gems you just emailed to thousands of other people?

Soundcloud usually or google.com I just search for groups listen before I buy.

I discover new music by mainly looking on soundcloud, facebook and alot of "crate digging" in beatport. Artists usually post their newest track on both soundcloud and facebook, which I usually look at 5-10 times a day. I also find alot of tracks on bandcamp, which wasn't mentioned in the pool.

I usually download tracks from Beatport, Soundcloud and the Artists Official Page in facebook. Too bad spotify deleted their download option, they had REALLY awesome deals.
