    Default Dance music

    Been getting into doing some mixing recently and have a new MacbookPro and some decks

    What I need now is to build my music library - got about 2000 tracks in it at the moment and there is some good stuff in there but what I wanted to know is where do people find out about new music? I try to listen to some internet radio stations but in all honesty I just don't seem to get enough spare time.

    For me it is Last.fm mainly. I put in the artist/DJ I like and then see what it throws at me.
    Anything I really like I 'heart' so I can look them up later.

    I have Subsonic on my server at home and I have the 'scrobbling' feature turned on. This then sends my selections to Last.fm, syncs them and then the next time I log in it suggests music it thinks I like. It's not always great but I have discovered some good stuff that way.

    Another way is Shazam. Whack that on when I hear something that sounds good and dig deeper from there.
    We all make mistakes sometimes

    Soundcloud, last.fm and Pandora are all amazing.
