Where's the underground genres? Tech-house, minimal techno, dub techno, electro, etc...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Essential mixes are great but I still buy a lot of single tracks (from Beatport) and create my own playlists in iTunes. Occasionally I find myself listening to single tracks (usually on YouTube) of newly released stuff I like.
wouldn't a playlist feature be awesome on this site, if you like what you hear tack it to a list and show it off to your buddies or go back to it to buy the song or w/e.... thoughts?
Is it me or is it not possible to adjust the volume on their player? I'm using standard iPod headphones right now, and even with my system volume turned down to its lowest setting the output is too high.

So I guess the next genres to be added are: -Electro.NET -Moombahton.NET -GlitchHop.NET -TrapMusic.NET -FutureGarage.NET -HardDance.NET
how is the music licensed?
So under the hood, it is just random tracks curated from existing blogs using their soundcloud pages? http://soundcloud.com/dubstep/ http://soundcloud.com/drumandbass http://soundcloud.com/housemusic So I guess the next genres to be added are: -Electro.NET -Moombahton.NET -GlitchHop.NET -TrapMusic.NET -FutureGarage.NET -HardDance.NET

When listening to soundcloud I use this bookmark to turn off comments on the page:
javascript:(function(){$("a[class='comments-toggle']").click();})();
Do you have any additional filters on your sources, or are you straight-up playing the streams as-is?
I'd suggest putting in min/max song lengths (to strip out the 2min previews of tracks that sometimes get posted). Although I think your sources are clean enough to handle that. You probably want a 15 min maximum to skip over mixes that sometimes get posted (or better yet, give a playlist for listening to continuous mixes)
If the soundcloud api provides favourites you could use that as an input as well.

You could pretty much create a simple version of last.fm by using a "similar artists search" and then mutiplexing the individual soundcloud pages for artists.
So you could have a "sounds like Skrillex", "sounds like High Rankin", "sounds like Knife Party" etc where all it does is randomly play tracks from similar artists.
I click on 'House' and it plays Dubstep, and then cheesy trance, followed by more of the same cheese. It's just pop-music basically. I don't mean to bitch, but to claim "Discover the best Electronic Dance Music you probably have never heard of" - and then be presented with pop-music is a little disingenuous.

6ft under would be a blessing though.

secondly, i think the devs are going to make a playlist style feature or something, along with a volume slider, so users can discover all this new music, save it to a playlist in a user-friendly environment with community aspects such as comments on tracks and the ability to share with simplicity ....
improving on old processes, why invent the wheel bro?
