    Hi boys,
    as DJ, I usually play a lot of EDM tracks, for example from Don Diablo's Hexagon or similar. I actually use soundcloud to see the new releases and keep updated my music library and find new talents and new tracks. But Soundcloud seems to close in few month or weeks...my problem is: how to replace it?

    I need a good service to keep in touch with new releases from big EDM labels, something easy and quick to use. Facebook ins't ok because on their fb page there's not only releases but even festivals/premieres/podcasts... and so one so forth.

    Alternatives? Youtube? Other?

    There are some "collaborative" experiences, like "Indaba Music".
    You can use Youtube, too. Lot of music listeners on it.

    To me, Soundcloud was NOT the "missing link" between labels and musicians. That's why it failed...you see ?

    Playing festivals or touring with others is a better option than anything else on the planet.

    Thanks for the reply, I mean Soundcloud is a cool way to stay tuned with new releases from labels but even from networks like Future House Music and their REPOST (so you could find small artists tracks)
    Well, touring and playing at festival is the best way but not for all people ahah

    Sorry but this isn't really what I am searching...I am searching something that keep me in touch with new official releases from labels and networks, not 'private circles'

    and yeah, youtube of course. there is nobody (of sane mind) on this planet who puts out music and doesn't put it on youtube. just subscribe to your labels and "networks" and it will all show up in your feed.

    best answer ever, crates.co awesome websites for official releases on beatport!

    Anything similar to revealeses on soundcloud/spotify/youtube?
    The problem of crates.co is that i won't see free download releases, for example lots of remixes from kshmr

    Well, trackhunter can source from soundcloud. But spotify? I don't think that spotify is neccessary because there are no spotify exclusives.
