I dont know if im alone on this or not. I got into electronic music about 3 years ago after hearing a friends copy of Come to daddy, which in turn introduced me to Warp who I then started buying my records from. But i'm starting to feel a little trapped by the Warp generalisation, I dont only listen to Warp sigings but its a lot harder to find electronic music that hasnt been snapped up by Warp, The only way I have been able to find new artists is through downloading, if this method is banned/removed, then I think its going to affect sales of the music that isnt played on Mtv, etc and introduced so widely through promotional methods.
I listen to quite a crazy range of musical styles, but I have noticed that if I was to tell someone at least slightly in the know, that i listened to boards of canada and autechre, i would immediately be classified as a 'Warphead' It seems a little sad that it is so difficult to discover new artists in the electronic side of the music industry without having to rely on record label websites, and artist recommendations in interviews.
If I didnt have the internet. I would probably still be listening to....dare I say it..trance and garage (old garage, not the shitty new so solid kru style)
How did you lot first get into this side of music? and how do you discover new artists?

You need to spend more time here and you will find that there are tons of excellent electronic artists that most of the world will sadly never know about. :D

"how do you discover new artists? "

this is a great place to learn about the more "underground" stuff

Yeah, thats was one of my reasons for joining, I do know a fair bit but I dont have any friends that like what I like. Its too 'wierd' for them. So I dont get the chance to talk about it.

This place is really good for music...I mean if you go to the discography you can see tons and tons of stuff that isn't on Warp...you could spend the rest of your life listening to new music if you just went through the discography...and three lifetimes worth if you count VSnares output as well :D

Didnt think much to his Nymphomatriarch album. Maybe if he slowed things down a bit he wouldnt get the remarks about his stuff all sounding a little too similar.

Snares slow down??? Are you mad? He is perfect(?) the way he is...if he was to slow down sadly he would just be labled as a Tom J rip off again :(

A Tom J rip off? Who made that statement then? I couldnt possibly even liken them to eachother. Thats craziness. Nah he's fine working fast but it doesnt help your defence, when you get people telling you that electronic music lacks effort, and is a lazy way to make music, when you have artists cranking out albums so fast..
