If you've got a high speed Internet connection and a sound card,
you can continuously listen to new and interesting music for free.
While some is hit or miss, some is absolutely
astounding! In fact, for d-n-b, online is becoming a primary source.
Below are some of the best sites I've found.
ChicagoFunNews.com Media Search
THE search index to audio and video recordings of Chicago DJs and performers.
Regen "Magazine" podcasts.
Each week a new 1hr-ish mix is posted, with about eight weeks history retained. The mixes are INTENSE, industrial, goth, Euro-bizarre, many mixed by big names. Sure there's occasional skips, and not always the greatest beat matching, but overall I've found them on par with some of the best dark club nights I've ever had. AND the set lists are posted!
BassDrive.com live 24/7 drum-n-bass streams.
Mostly DJ'd at their Chicago studio or at a DJs home then restreamed. What's really wild is there's also a webcam (sometimes down), and a public chat room, so on an average Friday/Saturday evening it's like a huge distributed party (300-400+ listeners, mostly local but also national and international), listening to the same hard-core chunez, and yammering about it and everything else while gradually getting drunk.
