It is a real challenge to keep up with all the new music hitting the hip-hop scene. It seems every city has its own underground scene kicking out great new beats to inspire new moves. Of course you can spend hours on You Tube trying to find the hippest stuff, but have you really got the time? Pandora and the like are good resources because once you build a station you can get on with your life and simply check out the info on tracks that grab you. Try not to sell your soul to my space or face book, you may not get it back, and you may not even get any worthwhile new music out if it - just an ugly new computer virus!
Another good alternative is to go old school. Even the cable music stations can clue you in to 20 to 30 year old tracks that you can mix into a great new dance disc to blow people's minds. Remember most people today are so focused on keeping up with the new that they have little exposure to hip hop foundations making it easy to stop a crowd with the introduction of a track that helped build the genre. So next time you are looking for some new sounds to mix into your hip hop discs try doing some time traveling back to the Old Schools and bring them forward.
