18 Yrs Underground Since 2009

Our Story

Electrobuzz was founded in 2009 as a blog for underground electronic music, long before streaming playlists existed and when Beatport was still the primary discovery tool for DJs worldwide. What started as a passion project to document the most interesting releases from the underground has grown into one of the longest-running independent electronic music archives on the web.

Over 18 years, we have documented 172,163 releases from 70,169 artists across 8,183 record labels. Every release in our archive was submitted directly by the label or artist for editorial coverage – we do not scrape, aggregate, or automate our content pipeline without human editorial oversight.

We cover techno, house, ambient, dub, experimental electronic, and every dark corner of the underground that doesn’t have a name yet. If a label believes in it enough to submit it, we believe in it enough to listen.

What We Cover

Electrobuzz is an editorial platform for underground selected electronic music. Our coverage focus:

Techno – raw, hypnotic, driving, peak-time, dub, and industrial variants
House – deep, minimal, organic, afro, and stripped-back club music
Ambient & Electronic – experimental, drone, modular, and abstract sound design
DJ Charts – curated selections from working DJs documenting what moves dance floors
Exclusives – premiere coverage of releases submitted before general distribution

Every release post includes the full tracklist with BPM, musical key, and duration data – the practical information DJs actually need when preparing sets. This metadata is sourced directly from the labels and verified against Beatport and Discogs records.

How Releases Get Featured

Electrobuzz operates as a direct-submission platform. Record labels and artists submit their releases through our submission process, and our editorial team reviews every submission before publication. We are not a content aggregator – nothing is published without a human listening session.

Our editorial selection criteria:

Sound quality and production value – we listen in full before publishing
Label history and artist track record in the underground
Relevance to our audience of DJs, producers, and electronic music collectors
Originality – we favour releases that contribute something distinct to the scene

Featured releases and weekly editorial picks are selected by our core team based on listening sessions, not algorithmic sorting or paid placement. If a release is marked “Electrobuzz Pick” or “Featured,” it earned that designation through the music alone.
