Well, funny you mention this, as I am working on an electronic music
website,
http://watmm.com or
http://wearethemusicmakers.com if you like to
type ;O]
We have four featured artists, AFX, BoC, Squarepusher and Autechre, but we
will also be covering news/releases from the whole electronic music
spectrum, not just the four featured artists. More artists will be added as
the need arises for more coverage on a particular artist.
My plan was to launch Apr 1 (hah) and now I'm shooting for May 1st or soon
thereafter. We've got big plans for this site, as there really is no online
place for electronic music fans to congregate and the featured artists
(especially BoC and Squarepusher) are sorely lacking in online
information/discographies.
Sorry for the counter-spam, but your post spurred me into announcing it
early ;O]
