He then transitions into a screen-recorded listicle, showcasing three alternative websites (Cosine Club, Disfrogs, and Bandcamp) for finding underground electronic music, explaining the unique value, features, and use-cases of each platform while providing continuous voiceover commentary.

Transcript excerpt

If you're a DJ or producer, stop using Beatport. Let me put you on to a few things instead. This is Cosine Club. It's an electronic music similarity search engine. It's extremely useful when building out your DJ sets or just finding new music in a genre that you like. You can input any song, and it'll output a bunch of songs that sound similar to it. It's a great way to go down a lot of rabbit holes. This is Discogs. It's an Internet radio that's connected to the Discogs database. It's a great way to find a ton of new music really fast. I definitely recommend filtering to hear exactly what you're looking for. I have to put Bandcamp on here. It's one of the best places to find a ton of independent music, and you get to support the artists directly. There's so many good rabbit holes that you can go down here.
