Advice for DJ’s and producers for downloading new music

Someone asked me today if I knew of any good web addresses for getting new music with which to mix or produce. I didn’t give them what they asked for. Give a person a fish and they’ll eat for a day, but teach them how to fish and they’ll eat for a lifetime. So here’s some ways to source your own new music.

As always, make sure to buy the tracks you find if you like and use them, and never use anything copyrighted in a production for which you wouldn’t be willing to go bankrupt.
