I am very new to EDM, I recently fell in love with the music but I don’t know the artists, sub-genres, or even what I am listening to usually (Whether a song is trance, techno, house? etc). I don’t live anywhere that has a club scene for me to go and become acquainted with the different artists and music styles out there.
My outlets are one trance DJ who does a show on the small internet radio station I run, Sirius/XM and Zune.
So how do I familiarize myself from being fairly clueless to actually becoming somewhat savvy?
Hi DJ-Quantum
Try checking out http://www.beatport.com as they sell a lot of dance music and is catagorised into genres for you. they will also let you preview the track so you can get an understanding of the style sonically.
Hope that helps!
