--- Quote from: REDRUM on 08 Jun 2011, 21:34 ---As a long time lurker of this thread (I posted some things 2-3 years ago, not totally an asshole) I always wondered where people got their music from to post on here. I had my own blogs id check every once in awhile, but Ive been out of the game for some time now and they are all dead and gone. I was wondering if anyone here knows any good blogs to keep up with? Im down to Here, GvB, TinyMixTapes (which i havent cared for since they downplayed the mixtape making alot), and a handfull of other saved ones that just arent what im trying to listen to. Basically shit.
I cant imagine that im the only person looking for more sources of music. If people could just post some places and what kind of music they generally push it would be awesome.
I know this is lazy and I should look for it myself, but my internet skills have been dying slowly for years.
If anyone helps, THANKS.

M/F searches and torrenting are the easiest ways, or buying the stuff, tbh.

I think this is the thread you're looking for: http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,26191.0.html
I suspect the real answer is not finding new blogs, it's finding new people to talk to.
Whenever I see someone wearing headphones who looks like they've put more thought into life than a normal person, I ask them what they are rocking out to.

Ah. Blissblog is reliably awesome, k-punk was great in its time but is now dead, and the best way to find good stuff in quantity is through bigger websites like FACT and the Quietus.

Jamie Xx - Far Nearer / Beat For
--- Quote ---Jamie xx finally lands his Numbers debut! The distinctive steel-pan tones of 'Far Nearer' were touted since the end of last summer but only now make their way to full public consumption, just in time to soundtrack a hundred thousand (and one) sessions in the sun. It's anthemic potential is undoubted, but it's built with genuine class and the widest appeal imaginable (unless you don't like dancing, or fun, or timelessly gratifying pop music), treading that fine line between sincere, melancholy soul and romantic pop with innate finesse. The newer production, 'Beat For' cuts a similar path but errs more towards the melancholy, reflecting shades of Burial or James Blake in the pitched vox and ethereal urban ambience, but those slicing drums, ultra-wide bass and detuned '90s House riffs are built with a cannier dancefloor knowledge individual to Jamie's deceptively effortless sound. This one just recommends itself.

Stephan Mathieu - Remain
--- Quote ---Stephan Mathieu's latest Line release is an hour long composition reprocessing original material from Janek Schaefer's 'Extended Play'. It was created between September 2008 and October 2010 using an entropic setup, spectral analysis and convolution processes. Not without good reason, Stephan is practically revered by many electro-acoustic advocates. His incredibly subtle, microscopic particle arrangements are heard uninterrupted in this piece which unfolds with the organic, life-affirming nature of a gradual sunrise over a vast desert plain, picking out glints of light from individual grains of sand while suffusing his infinite scapes with caramelized drones and mirage-like spectral strings. This is sublime music crafted for meditative consumption. Highly recommended.

Marcus Price & Carli - Bubbelgum EP
--- Quote ---Stockholm/London-based Marcus Price & Carli follow up the killer 'Var E Näääken' session with the percolating 'Bubblegum', backed by remixes from Sam Tiba, Carli, and Rebecca & Fiona. Both the kinky original and the squealing remix from Rebecca & Fiona mimic the electric strafe and dip of Dutch Bubblin' sounds, while Sam Tiba's squashes it into a rugged crunk banger and Carli gives a keen Todd Edwards impression on the '100mph' mix. Wooo!

Dillon Francis - Westside! EP
--- Quote ---LA's Dillon Francis brings a heatseeking fusion of Dutch House and reggaeton for Mad Decent, including collaborations with Dave Nada, DJ Ammo and a Munchi remix. 'Masta Blasta' swings it low and crunked with grippin' Reggaeton snares and searing Dutch electro melodies. 'Westside!' jacks up the tempo and lowers the subbass suspension to wild effect before Maluca drops in for a holler on the stinging Reggaeton bounce of 'Que Que' and 'Brazzers' brings a siren-squirting climax backed with Munchi's explicit remix.

Anti-G - Presents Kentje'sz Beatsz
--- Quote ---This is the one we've been waiting for!!! Following their ongoing exposé of Chicago Footwork, Planet Mu turn their keen ears to the 'floor and the sound of Bubbling; the hyper-futuristic Dutch dance craze perpetuated by the 2nd and 3rd generation descendants of Caribbean immigrants. We'll let the ever-knowledgeable Dave Quam explain the origins "At a party in the late 80s in The Hague, a local DJ by the name of DJ Moortje accidentally dropped a dancehall twelve-inch at 45RPMs, causing chaos in the audience. Not the kind of negative heckling you get when a record skipped, but the kind of excitement that happens when a movement has been started. This beautiful mistake resulted in Bubbling, a cultural expression of immigrants from The Dutch Antilles and Suriname, a genre that would take these communities by storm in Holland in the 1990s. Jamaican exports such as the Fever Pitch and Bam Bam riddims were double and half-timed, with Cutty Ranks on one hand sounding like a pre-pubescent chipmunk, the other hand sounding like an evil duppy. Its sound borrowed slave rhythms from Curacao (DJ Moortje's origin), creating a new Caribbean style of music in Europe that ran parallel to London's Jungle scene." Fast forward a generation, and now armed with pirate copies of Fruity Loops and basic PCs, kids like 18 year old Anti-G, Shaun-D, Master-D, Daycard, and Deschuurman are fusing the traditional Dembow rhythms of reggaeton with traces of HipHop, Funky House, Grime, and whatever else they feel like, resulting in some of the most exhilarating dance trax we've heard since Planet Mu's 'Jukes & Bangs Vol.1'. 'Kentje'sz Beatsz' covers a spectrum of Anti-G's productions between 2009 and 2010. Over these sixteen tracks his synths sound like Sooty & Sweep having a battery acid enema in a Surinamese space station, while the beats are arranged with an effortless Rubik's cube complexity. Most importantly of all, it makes you want to dance like a f**king Transformer rendered by Alex Rutterford and Hecker. That might not sound so appealling to some, but check the kids popping and locking to this stuff on youtube and you'll soon catch the bug. No doubt, this is already one of our records of the year, and manages to make 90% of stuff out there seem stiff and 5 years behind the times. Highly Highly recommended!!!
