3 alternatives to find great underground house and electronic music. These are some of my favorite sites to help me dig music digitally. Let me know if you have used any of these before!
Also! Before any of you old heads cry to me and say “this isn’t what a dj does” or “this is what’s wrong with DJing”. Just go try them. A real dj finds music and then uses their taste to determine whether they like something or not. Doesn’t matter how the music gets in front of them. These are just one of the many tools.
Sites below!
Cosine.club is a music similarity search engine - put in a song and it’ll output similar songs in terms of genre and vibe
Disfrogs - amazing internet radio I’m using this to just dig through records fast. It’s connected to Discogs database so it’s easy to find your records. Made by @marius_productions !
Bandcamp- my holy grail for independent music. Support your favorite artists and follow them their to see all their releases.

If you're a DJ or producer, stop using Beatport. Let me put you on to a few things instead. This is Cosine Club. It's an electronic music similarity search engine. It's extremely useful when building out your DJ sets or just finding new music in a genre that you like. You can input any song, and it'll output a bunch of songs that sound similar to it. It's a great way to go down a lot of rabbit holes. This is Discogs. It's an Internet radio that's connected to the Discogs database. It's a great way to find a ton of new music really fast. I definitely recommend filtering to hear exactly what you're looking for. I have to put Bandcamp on here. It's one of the best places to find a ton of independent music, and you get to support the artists directly. There's so many good rabbit holes that you can go down here.
