woah, we got ourselves a hipster here... man, if the devs were to put the undergound music here then it wouldn't be undergound anymore and you would probably boycott or ddos the site so no one else could listen to your precious dublectrance rahouse mixes ...
I agree with the GP. It's pop trash.

Good to know. I will add a volume adjuster.
That's another feature that makes this "better than soundcloud" because they don't provide a volume adjust on their site. Really annoying for those times when I've been playing soundcloud in the background with some other audio source in the foreground (like a video game, or even just mail notifications going beep)
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
I'm not knocking you for using those sources btw, that's a decent way to ignore the hard part of a problem to get to a minimum viable product -- plus licensing tracks is soundcloud's problems. Soundcloud is also ripe for disruption because their interface of overlaying comments on the waveform while playing tracks is at best distracting and at worst causes my web browser to crash all the time.

Without wanting to get into genre wars, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. There's a brand of music at the moment calling itself 'tech house', but it's basically also pop-garbage like the stream from the OP. Tech-house as a term has been bastardised in the same way as 'trance' in the mid-90s. There's still some amazing stuff out there though, but you need to dig for it. Unfortunately I don't think th…
this link said nothing about providing 'tech house' see title for 'electronic dance house' which would show your distaste for music 'popular' enough to be used in a large dance/rave setting
The web and media is full of the kind of garbage streamed on this site. There's a real gap in the market in my opinion to nail the underground electronic music scene. Everything from leftfield electronica to techno.
Over the past 7 years or so I've seen the underground house and techno scene in London become so unbelievably huge. Which has just meant that opportunists jump in and create generic and bland versions of the music that I love.
Over the past 3-5 years its gone completely mainstream and the kind of garbage you hear in the charts is the same as from the OP. So it's not presenting me (personally) with anything.
I'm personally interested in a way to promote the better underground artists out there without having to hand pick each.
I don't have a solution for this unfortunately. I was hoping that the OP link would have been it. This is why I was disappointed. Because there are still lots of incredibly talented producers out there being totally buried by the torrent of sh*t that you hear these days purporting to be "house music" or "tech house" or "dubstep".

>Soundcloud is also ripe for disruption because their interface of overlaying comments on the waveform while playing tracks is at best distracting and at worst causes my web browser to crash all the time. The beta of the new SC interface doesnt do that anymore.
this site has been such a wicked hit at both the office and the party scene, whoever came up with this is genius, thanks for making my musical tastes in such a quick, fun and easy to use package!

Currently using pre curated tracks from http://soundcloud.com/dubstep/ http://soundcloud.com/drumandbass http://soundcloud.com/housemusic I agree the genres are off. Will be working on improving them.
Soundcloud tags are not curation!
The core product can't be based on a misconception like this.
