Here's a great song by an unsigned artist, David Grumel. He's got a few songs on peoplesound, a great site for finding stuff. Lifestyle is my favorite.

Also a super-duper Coldcut track posted to good old FilePile: Border (Coldcut vs. Silent Poets).

david grumel rocks. vintage synths and organs without cheese. how do you know about him?

I stumbled upon it while browsing peoplesound at work. They have a cool feature where you can select a genre of music, display 10 - 15 songs on a page, then stream them all. I was doing this for a while, jumping up to see what was playing, then going and downloading it. I've found a bunch of really cool stuff that way...

peoplesound looks similar to epitonic. are there other sites like these?

you guys are kicking my ass in the music knowledge department...

thank you.

and kris. thanks for making us feel welcome here.

atrecordings.com is great. they have many of my favourite labels. it is not really a mp3 site, but you can listen to almost every songs in decent quality. ...and the vinyl is cheap.

vitaminic. They bought out IUMA, have a decent site for unsigned artists...

simplemp3s.com is like a warez site without the pop-ups. most of the downloads work and they have to be decompressed.

This is a bit offtopic but if you haven't already, visit betalounge now.
