Beatport

The best source for electronic music. PERIOD!

Source all of your high-​quality electronic music needs. Long samples and many formats make this the number one source for you needs. I was throughly impressed the first time I stumbled across these guys online.

Quite simply Beatport is THE SOURCE for Electronic Dance Music. Sure you can find some stuff through iTunes, but when you want to get serious about your music and your mixes, you will most likely end up at Beatport. And when you arrive you will find a very easy to use website that belies the breadth and depth of their offerings. It’s vast. But it’s also relatively easy to find what you need. You get generous previews, charts, and yes if you heard it on SiriusXM or it was played at EDC — Vegas chances are they’re going to have it.
Pricing…well it’s not 99 cents. But the prices are still reasonable and when you know at least some of the money is really getting back to the artists it puts it all into perspective.
5 Stars. Without question.

LOOOOVE IT, but wish their wav handling could be cheaper.

Simply the best there is for electronic music downloads. :)

I came here looking for Pornographic Material. Yep, you read that correctly. Pornographic Material (the Original Gang Bang Version). THE SONG. By Andry Nalin. Unfortunately, Beatport doesn’t have the song anymore, but they do have a ton more electronic/​house/​trance/​techno music available for download. If you hate the Evil Empire (aka Apple) and want nothing to do with iTunes, Beatport is the place to be. The site is easy (and fun) to navigate. Songs are a bit pricey ($ 1.49−2.49), but they come in unaltered mp3, mp4 or wav format (unlike iTunes and how it corrupts songs), have unlimited downloads, and the song can be shared. You can pay for the songs using PayPal or credit card. And, unlike iTunes with their paltry 30 second song preview, Beatport will give you 2 whole minutes!
And if you find Pornographic Material, can you share it with me? Thanks. :)

You can find a surprising number of articles on the biology of music:
–the parts of the brain it activates (for most, the right);
–compared to the different parts activated in musicians (more of the left);
–the reward centers /​pleasure zones stimulated (like those for eating and sex);
–its stimulation of dopamine and opioids;
–as a means of communication;
–its evocation of emotions and feelings.
Lately, I’ve been downloading a lot from
. If you are into electronic music, then you know beatport: the interface is stylish, easy and cute; the selection large; the downloads not super cheap, but then there’s the selection.
There’s so much to listen to. Just click away.
Biologically speaking, it’s only natural.
