On A Quest For New Music? Let Us Guide The Way

[divider]Radio Shows & Podcasts[/divider]

There are a ridiculous amount of podcasts related to electronic music. One of, if not the best way of searching podcasts is through iTunes. For those that don’t have or want iTunes, the best alternative is probably Podbay. The advantage with Podcasts is that you can download them and listen offline.

As for actual radio shows, as opposed to pre-recorded podcasts, the cream of the crop for electronic music has got to be Digitally Imported @ DI.FM. Working very much the same way as Podcasts, DI.FM provides a platform for DJs to play a regular show. While not totally exhaustive (e.g. no Bhangra), you can find a pretty wide and interesting list of subgenres and styles, including but not limited to Deep Nu-Disco, Future Synthpop, and even, yes, you guessed it – Space Dreams!

Of course, some of the biggest stars have their own independent live streams. Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Above & Beyond, and Markus Schulz first come to mind.

Honorable Mention: For all you trance lovers out there, Afterhours.FM has some great shows but acts like a true radio station in that it’s one stream, not a collection like DI.

Mixcloud and Soundcloud have many pre-recorded radio shows as well, often just being another platform to listen to podcasts and radio shows. Mixcloud is unique in that it provides a real time Track ID that changes as the set progresses, making it easy to jot down your favorites.

Soundcloud works in much the same way but is also built for individual tracks and a somewhat social system of re-posting your favorites.

Both of these platforms occasionally fall short when the uploader fails to put up a track listing. Thankfully, to remedy that, we have 1001 Tracklists and Cue Nation. These third-party services provide accurate listings with timestamps for most sets out there.

 

With all of these methods you will surely find yourself flooded with new music in no time. Good luck!
