Othermusic out of New York has a great website for new music. I go onto Pitchfork a lot. Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 has an excellent show on Saturdays. Laurie Brown on CBC has a good show. I also try to follow labels too. Ghostly, as mentioned, is fantastic. 4AD, Secretly Canadian, Stones Throw, and Warp. All good labels.

Othermusic is right down the street from me! Their brick and mortar store is great for hard to find releases.

Very cool. I'd have a lot less money if that was the case for me. I meant to visit them last time I was in NYC, but couldn't manage. I really love the fact that it's all about the music with them. People into good beats without the pretension. I've relied on them for over a decade now to be turned onto things I would have otherwise missed. No doubt, their year-end list is the one I take most seriously.
