We’ve had a lot of traffic for our two posts on e-digging (The Top 26 Places For “Online Crate Digging” and 21 Ways to Become the MacGyver of E-Digging) so we thought, why not add some more?
Below is a list of 15 e-digging channels and playlists on YouTube. No doubt there’ll be some broken links among the list but there are over 1,000 tracks to listen to. As time has passed, the stigma around e-digging has disintegrated and it is becoming a more open-source for musical explorations. Nothing beats a dusty crate of vinyl but it’s not the only place to open your mind and your ears.
Enjoy!
