Same here. I always get so damn happy when I find a new track that I really like.
I've added a weekly reminder to listen to my Spotify account's Discovery Weekly and Release Radar (based on the people you follow) lists, and I always find new tracks; the Your Daily Mix lists are quite awesome, too, in this regard.
Additionally, I have quite a few Spotify playlists for specific occasions, e.g. gym time; the nice thing about this is that as soon as you start adding tracks to those playlists, you can scroll down and it starts to recommend tracks that you might like based on the ones you just added.
Since I'm quite heavily into Eletronic Music (Deep House, Afro House, etc.), I also use BeatportCharts.com's Advanced Search [0] to find new music that is ranked quite high based on a specific parameter which you can specify, e.g. rank on the charts or number of user likes.
All in all I get so much excitement out of finding new music that it's basically a thing that I do on a daily basis. I'll add Bandcamp to my list of sources for finding new music :)

- FillardMillmore 6y agoA fellow house head! I must ask, are you a fan of any specific house mixes? I find that, while I do love standalone tracks, there's something absolutely ethereal about a well mixed house set, where the tracks are perfectly mixed and organically bleed into each other. On Youtube, I'm a fan of Johnny M's mixes for deep house. I've never heard of BeatportCharts, so I'll definitely check that out, thanks for the recommendation!
- shytey 6y agoNot the person you responded to but this is a nice mix from The Kais on Soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/thekais/wir-waren-wie-dick-und-doof https://soundcloud.com/thekais/wir-waren-wie-dick-und-doof Totally agree on mixes being great. If you have any specific suggestions in return please feel free to share. I'll check out Johnny M on YouTube.
- giu 6y agoSoundcloud's great for finding new music, too; I have currently 1842 tracks and mixes that I liked over there. MixCloud [0] is another source for finding a lot of new electronic music tracks; the absolutely nice thing about MixCloud is that the player shows the track ID at specific timestamps within a mix, so most of the times you don't even have to use Shazam to ID a track :) [0] http://mixcloud.com http://mixcloud.com
- giu 6y agoA few months ago a coworker introduced me to the Cercle channel on YouTube [0]. If you look through their top videos [1] I'm sure you'll find a lot of sets that you like! My favorite Cercle sets are the following: - Black Coffee's set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGqg_ZzThDU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGqg_ZzThDU - Adriatique's set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQZYzGO8QlM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQZYzGO8QlM - Christian Löffler's set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2OCXiubvr0&t=950s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2OCXiubvr0&t=950s - Solomun's set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHDRRxKlimY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHDRRxKlimY There's also the Boiler Room sets [1] which are quite famous. One of my favorites is definitely the Boiler Room Palestine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9VYKrtziSg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9VYKrtziSg Finally, RÜFÜS DU SOL played an amazing live set in the desert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy4KtD98S2c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy4KtD98S2c ; you might enjoy this one, too!
