How do you DIG?

[tekki]

Sorry guys, but if this talk keeps going on about torrents/trackers or other illegal sites that offer MP3s, I have to close down shop.

DJTT does not endorse 'not so legal'- infrastructure to get your tracks.

every second week or so i do a huge mysapce hunt.. going to my fav artists and checking through all their tops friends and keep doing that.. you discover heaps of different artists and lots of artists in weird places haha

give it a go.. place their is alot of eye candy on the way!

My digging is fairly simple. I get my music from:

1) My beatport artists and labels I have favourited
2) Top tracks for my genres in beatport
3) Currently 3 podcasts I listen to (find songs I like in the podcasts and just search it up on beatport)
4) Random searching for artists/new daily releases/etc..

Pretty much everything is through beatport. I feel like it's enough as of now.

Do you actually find anything new that you wouldn't find by sorting by date & genre @ beatport and listening to?

Yes, yes I do

blogs, beatport and stuff..
i'm following some artists and blogs on facebook. and a lot of mixes in the genre i like (often from DJTT )

There are a couple of blogs that I have fallen in love with: Chemical Jump, Silence Is Boring, Turn Table Lab, and RCRD LBL

I'm pretty fortunate to have decent contacts in the dnb scene... I just leave my AIM logged in, set to autoaccept and check my incoming folder every few days.

For other genres I usually download mixes from artists/djs I like and go through the tracklistings. Once I've found a few tunes I like, I'll go shopping on Beatport/iTunes/Juno/whatever.

I wanted to share a story about finding tracks but didnt think it deserved its own thread. Heard a banger in a club last night, no idea what it was or who it was by. About 20 minutes on the laptop cruising youtube etc. and I find it in beatport top 10 house, I literally creamed myself. Dont you just love it when you find a tune your looking for!

P.S for anyone that cares it was "We No Speak Americano" - what a tune.

C'mon Tekki, that title gave the thread character!!

There's a couple of good remixes on soundcloud.
