You did a great job with the Title,"Discover the best Dance Music." This is a critique on your music selection and not your project. The music under your "House" label was not house at all. It was pop-dubstep. If your going to entice music lovers, you will have to get the genres right. Know your target. Personally, I was excited, then very quickly disappointed. I am always looking for some quality house to listen whi…

THIS!

I like the project though. Real initiative here, but also great advice that must be heeded.

Nice concept, seems well done too. Any chance you could add trance in addition to house, dub & dnb in the future?

I am planning on expanding the genres in the near future.

Keep on improving. You've done great. Make sure you monetize it too.

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.

When listening to sound…

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)

They do, but its in the top-right corner of the page. Took me months to notice.

You're awesome, thank you. I would have never found that.

We're so conditioned to look for the volume UI to be near the play button.

EMs are great, and I've listened to ~30 of them, but I feel like I'm 'out' of mixes to listen to given what my tastes are. My tastes are definitely pretty diverse, too. I've been hitting youtube for mixes, and you'd be pleasantly surprised at the quality. Goingquantum is very good.

Try the Fabric blog for some quality mixes: http://www.fabriclondon.com/blog Shameless plug: http://www.fabriclondon.com/blog/view/audio-paul-louth-fabri...
