How do you listen to trance in 2020?

Youtube/Bandcamp/Soundcloud/old ASOT episodes up to 384 after that I have not listened to them apart from the odd vinyl special here and there and the wonderful progressive warm set mixes that Armin made.

I think combination of many.

For new music, I mostly check for few picked radio shows/podcasts from Soundcloud (Pure Trance, JOOF, Enlusion's own etc.) and whatever Spotify gives me notifications for. Occasional YouTube/Bandcamp visit too, but that is occasional. YouTube also has nice collection of old compilations and DJ mixes which I listen to every now and then if it is the most convenient way.

Regarding the older stuff, I have Spotify playlists and it has been connected to my own local digital music library. So at home I have access to those old goodies (or other downloads) which are not found in Spotify.

I also like to put on some CD from my collection pretty often.

I used to have an impressive local library, first on winamp and then on itunes. Unfortunately my laptop got stolen and all my tracks went with it. The pain was real and after that I switched to youtube and then eventually to spotify. I still use youtube and bandcamp for listening to new trance and house, as I find Spotify won't represent the scene to its true extent... but for everything else I absolutely love Spotify.

I discover most of my new bands thanks to its algorithm, but the follow friends functionality is awesome. I just stalk my buddies listens and playlists and it works very well.

I miss the radio show days, when it was at its peak. We didn't know how good we had it.
