Fellow House/Techno listener. I am astonished that you can even use Spotify/Scrobbles etc. I always feel an outsider as the only way to listen to that genre is livesets, which i meticulously collect and download from various sources (youtube rips, soundcloud, artist releases) and play offline like its 1998. Any modern streaming plattforms are not suitable for that genre at all - you don't want to listen to 1min leadin/out anyways.

This is the way! I found my old folder of Tranceaddict live sets recently and I can confirm, they’re all still bangers. :)

I gave up on them for psytrance. Used to be paying subscriber for many years, but their catalog never really got updated. Got tired of hearing the same tracks over and over.

Was a subscriber for a while, but their streaming reliability on poor networks was really bad (also when transitioning from wi-fi to cellular and back) and they weren't keen on fixing it. Spotify works so much better.

I liked their playlists/radios, though and I miss them.

Digitally Imported... Now there's a throwback.

me too. I love electronic music (mainly tech house) but dislike vocals as they mostly are kinda silly.
