Electronic music is anything but niche

anyways, rutracker or many of the other private trackers

If you want to discover electronic subgenres then I'd recommend to listen the weekly Essential Mix https://www.mixesdb.com/w/Category:Essential_Mix

If you want some personal recommendation my current top 5 (changes all the time)

Daft Punk (1997) https://www.mixesdb.com/w/1997-03-02_-_Daft_Punk_-_Essential...

Justice (2007) https://www.mixesdb.com/w/2007-06-10_-_Justice_-_Essential_M...

Sharam (2009) https://www.mixesdb.com/w/2009-08-29_-_Sharam_-_Essential_Mi...

Skrillex (2013) https://www.mixesdb.com/w/2013-06-15_-_Skrillex_-_Essential_...

Ben Böhmer (2021) https://www.mixesdb.com/w/2021-10-09_-_Ben_B%C3%B6hmer_-_Ess...

Essential Mix opened my early 2000s teenage world to so much more electronic music. Good memories of downloading sets via Napster and manually recording on to cassettes to listen to in my '95 Saturn. What a weird statement.

Thanks, mixesdb looks neat.

>Electronic music is anything but niche

Electronic music is a huge genre. There's a ton of popular artists but there's also so much great stuff you'll never hear at concerts/festivals.

I would say it heavily depends on what converts and festivals you’re going to. I just went to Making Time in Philadelphia where Fourtet was the headliner and by far the biggest name. Everyone else would be what you would consider “underground” or niche. My favorite DJ, Donato Dozzy, played an incredible set.
