The Podcasts We’re Listening To (And You Should Be)

With countless producers releasing new tracks every day, it’s hard to keep up with what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s next. I know from my own experience that spending hours on Beatport browsing can sometimes be a trip to the gold mine, resulting in an awesome update for your playlists, or can end up being nothing more than a colossal disappointment when you find yourself listening to that one song off Spinnin’ that you kinda forced yourself to download. You know, the one you liked for around 30 seconds. Instead of waiting for a new hit to blow up and only hearing about it through a remix or from your I-heard-it-first hipster friend, why not let your favourite DJ do the choosing and indulge in their wonderful music selection while kicking back with a vodka soda on a lazy afternoon? I mean, that’s their job, right?
