7 Music Discovery Tools to Find New Tunes

That go-to iTunes playlist or Pandora station will probably do the trick, but with so much great music out there, why settle for the same old favorites? The infinite catalog of music, new and old, is a both a blessing and a curse. While music fans unfortunately have to accept that they will never be able to listen to every band, album or song, retreating to the comfort of your personal music library is no way to find your next favorite artist. Spotify's latest curation features, Browse and Discover, are a push in the right direction, and Rdio integrates music discovery into its top-notch app with subtle recommendations from listeners in your network placed all over the player. These streaming services' social features aren't the only ways to discover new music, but they tap into what's key about successful music suggestions today: social curation.

And, if today’s offering is any indication, there’s no city in dance music history that’s been as documented as Detroit as well. But hey, that’s all good by us. With new compilations like the one jointly curated by Jimmy Edgar and Derrick May called We Love Detroit about to be released, and Richie Hawtin’s new educational tour, CNTRL: Beyond EDM, afoot, we figured the time was nigh to ply you with some of the D’s greatest hits: the 10—count ‘em, 10! —best documentaries about Detroit techno ever—and they’re all available to watch right here for free. 10.

10 electronic music docs you need to see

IGOR LESIC & RONALD LINDGREEN, 2004) Incredible 46-minute documentary looking at The Hague’s unique, eccentric and boundlessly creative electro and techno scene. It’s classic scene after classic scene: I-f declaiming the idea of Christmas, Legowelt playing blitzkrieg acid to an empty club, Bunker’s perma-stoned Guy Tavares pontificating on, well, anything and everything. Originally released on a now hard-to-find DVD courtesy of I-f’s own MurderCapital label, it’s thankfully been uploaded – in a few parts – to YouTube. BIMBO TOWER RULES. Romuald Karmakar.

Adventures in 3D Sound! Edgar Choueiri knows how things work; he’s a rocket scientist — officially, the Director of Princeton University's Electric Propulsion and Plasma Dynamics Laboratory.

Adventures in 3D Sound!

If NASA ever sends a person to Mars, Choueiri’s research probably will have played a role. But Kurt Andersen visited his lab recently to get a taste of the future right now. Choueiri’s hobby is acoustics. He has developed a way to render sound in three dimensions, and given Studio 360 listeners an exclusive first listen of his 3D audio technology. Unlike surround sound and other elaborate hardwiring, his breakthrough consists of a software algorithm applied to sound files that allows stereo playback to sound much more real and lifelike.

The 3D audio in the show segment above is calibrated for stereo speakers only so it won't work on headphones. Try out the clips below, in which Choueiri demonstrates the sound of water in 3D. 3D Audio Demonstration for Speakers 3D Audio Demonstration for Headphones So how does it work?
