I need places to find good house other than the current charts. For electro I've gone through hundreds of mixes on youtube searching for tracks but I cant really do that for house because searching for "house mix" obviously doesn't give me what I want. I do have quite a few tracks but becuase now I am key mixing and doing live mashups I need more tracks.

Can anyone reccomend some good places? Maybe blogs I can go though the archives of, djs on youtube that upload a lot of house, djs whos set lists i should check out, ect.

Im talking about stuff like this:

Haha by besides the charts I meant besides places like beatport. Yes I know I can go through every house song ever on beatport but their are more efficient ways to build a library.

First try looking at the artists of the tracks that you already like. Then look at possible remixes by other artists. That is what I would do to try and find similar sounding tracks.

Trackitdown.com has a great way of labeling the sub-genres of their tracks. I do not like the prices compared to beatport.com, but most of the time you can find the same tracks there.

Well, short of someone getting down on one knee with a silver platter and offering up setlists and fully organized libraries to you, I'm not sure there are. Where exactly are you getting this idea that building a quality library is easy and efficient? It takes hours and hours and months and years of hunting, digging, listening, and accidental discovery to get there.

Trackitdown is way too expensive ($3.50 for a track get out of here) but they label subgenres which I absolutely love.

I rarely use Beatport for house... try Stompy and Traxsource.

On second thought, I am not sure if Stompy or Traxsource would have "high energy" (which I read as progressive) house.
