I have also had really good luck finding music on youtube, especially independent house/electronic music. The youtube recommendation algorithm was really good for music until a few months ago. Not sure what they changed, but I'm seeing the same videos pop up over and over, and those videos are more "mainstream" as well. People rag on youtube, but I've found so much amazing content on there just by searching around and choosing the next video from the recommended ones so that you go deeper into the rabbit hole.

Youtube's recommendations seems to go through phases, and it depends entirely on the device I use to watch it. On PC I get one lot of content, on mobile another, and on my Smart TV yet another, despite being signed into the same account everywhere. The best way I've found to find new music is actually on their app for my Smart TV . Unfortunately the Youtube leanback/tv mode for the PC seems to have disappeared, so it's hard to show how different it is. It'll show me the same stuff over again, and then randomly every few months it's like "Oh, here's a whole heap of stuff you've never seen before, that's been on the platform for years".
