How to stay up to date with new minimal & techno release

I trawl beatport and decks.de because they stream samples so listen to without waiting ages to download... labels section here too.

Residentadvisor.net is great for news and their reviews are excellent in my opinion, sometimes expose me to tracks i missed before.

Try and ask for the names of good tracks in clubs, just don't piss off the dj as that is seriously annoying...

...if you don't mind that at least 80% of their news is content they "find" on other websites. Due to the time consuming job they do collecting content it's quite understandable that they up to 100% of the time forget to mention their source...

if you want good music... don´t read the phonica newsletter.

if you want what everyone else play´s, go for it!

i simply don't stay up to date with the latest minimal releases
cuz 90% is crap... it's too damn frustrating to make up my mind on what minimal to buy... i'm tired of sterile releases

i want soul and personality in releases, this is what i'm shopping for now
regardless of genre

ah yes, this echoes my sentiments. it was a hard move but i finally managed to forget about all the latest clonks and now ...... music is plain fun again. i used to check 10 online stores for 4 hours a day, hey that was just stress and finally it is not worth the effort at all. too many shortlived, exchangeable things out there which claim to be 'the one' imho.
