I frantically smash the Shazam button over and over again while I loop a certain part in a live DJ set on SoundCloud. When the DJ is overlaying 2 tracks at a faster bpm, adding their own basslines and AFX, Shazam rarely works. But when it does it's like finding a diamond in the rough. Then I listen to the EP it's on A and B sides, listen to other EPs from the DJ and listen to other releases on that label. Combination of SoundCloud, discogs, mixesdb.com, bandcamp and YouTube.

Lots of times the first comment will be a partial track list or I'll look up the tracklisting on mixesdb.

In the 90s to discover music it was you had to attend shows and crate dig or even call up the record label (long distance number!) and listen to the latest release over POTS.

I’ve had a little bit of success using 1001tracklists.com to identify songs from a live set.

Yeah, pot is a great way to discover music.
