I'm a big fan of the Soundcloud service. Their player is aesthetically pleasing (with the waveform view & ability to comment on the waveform being a stroke of genius), tunes stream really well, easy access to downloads, nice overview of statistics & a useful element of social networking that gets you listening to all sorts of interesting things if you have a bit of a look around. The fact that Soundcloud doesn't place limitations on lengths of tracks means that alot of producers put up full livesets and mixes, which is a great way of finding new music. At the moment my big interest is in the many variants and hybrids that relate to dubstep and there is wealth of artists on Soundcloud who are at the cutting edge of this type of music. These are some of the artists that I think are worth checking out:
