Thanks to nifty software and good tutorials the technical aspect of DJing is no longer an issue to me.
Now I've come to discover that finding likeable as well as compatible tunes is a far greater challenge.
An example: Floating Points - Myrtle Avenue, my current favorite.
Now how to find compatible music? Other tracks by the artist are quite different in style / tempo. Youtube's suggestions are pretty much useless and good playlists are very rare. Checking sites like lastfm and Groove magazine for Tracklists and suggestions based on similarity has been my best bet so far.
After hours of searching the few aquired tunes often do no match well, as the key maybe disharmonius or the intro / outro are too packed to mix well. Back to square one.
In short, how do you go about finding new tracks / artists to match existing ones?
