Music discovery forum?
Music discovery forum? Posted on: 09.04.2013 by Jetta Drenzek I was wondering if anyone knew of such a place? There's a few threads around here dedicated to discussing a genre, and I was wondering if there was an actual community
for this? One of the core principles of DJing, in fact, THE core principle, is music, and yet I struggle to find a DJ community
dedicated to discussing music. It just seems like a no brainer in this age of the internet to be able to discuss with people all over the planet the coolest banger from 1980 that was forgotten by time, or indeed be reminded.I was just wondering. I strive to be a wikipedia of songs, I guess, and I feel sometimes everyone is focused on the latest iVinyl Scratch Pro Live 7.3 II than the thing that matters the most to us. | |

But because of the two way interaction, I found that song and now I use it to degrade sets into pounding techno. |

With music blogs it's like "Check out this shit you can download for free in 320. Oh yeah buy it on beatport if you like it". I mean, come on? |

| Gaynell Rydberg 09.04.2013 | Well.. I know of other places to discuss music, but their main purpose is.... debatable lol if you get what I mean. |
| Delfina Suedmeyer 09.04.2013 | Gesaffelstein is king. |
| Jetta Drenzek 09.04.2013 | It's not, but that song is just, dirty, hip thrusting madness. Like Ron Jeremy on top of an Italian sports car banging a panther. |
| Antonetta Wikel 09.04.2013 | I wouldn't say pounding techno is degrading. :P |

| Margie Pavell 09.04.2013 | this a gear/software driven site...as you can tell by the preoccupation with it... We can only give you suggestions as to what labels and artists that WE like. It's up to you to find your sound. Dig. Dig. Dig. |

| Gaynell Rydberg 09.04.2013 | Music blogs, but they usually post up 'mainstream' artists. |
