Can't piss you off that much since you use it almost on a daily basis! ;)

I meant how everything HAS to go through Facebook, not having to use Facebook.
Smart arse.

I don't 'keep up' I make my own music, and use Youtube for the rest

There is a massive selection of music available, but it does help to somewhat filter your tastes to artists, labels, and brands that you enjoy.
For hardcore i do quite little. I listen to the latest Styles or Gammer mix they have made along with the Hardcore Underground podcasts. Finally I briefly scroll through what albums HU release, then counter check on here for reviews and feedback to see if they are worthwhile (easily swayed by public opinion i guess).
Trance and Psy i treat a little differently because the DJs actively promote lesser known artists within there sets and podcasts. For example Kearnage and Mental Asylum radio typically have psy and trance sections of all the latest tunes those producers are digging for that week/month. That helps with discovery because you can source more off whatever particular artist you digged from there filtering.
Short answer: Artist mixes and podcasts.

Follow a shit ton of stuff on facebook. Otherwise, I almost never buy albums ( I've spent money on 3 albums), as I hunt for freebies on the internet. I simply don't care for mainstream Uk hardcore and rather look for smaller artist who release free shit (artist who happen to often frequent these forums)

Sad but true and the 'good stuff' is rarely that good anyway.
Once upon a time, long long ago, before the inter web there were record labels that only released music that was of sufficiently high quality.
A quality that they believed and hoped would return a commercial gain.
Now, everyone and their dog releases 'music', at no real cost or commercial control so, plenty of crap choice that very few have the time or inclination to trawl through.... very sad. :(
Amen to that!!!

Mentioning music and saying it's all about gains nowadays... it's just plain silly. Ever since music could be recording it has always been about earnings.

I normally check Soundcloud 2-3 times per week.
Occasionally buy a CD pack from an event, make a note of any tracks i like then buy those.
Years ago i would pop to my local record shop. Dance 2 (Guildford) or Slammin Vinyl (Kingston) & spend most of Saturday morning (& most of my wages too) in there.

I personally just checked the local HMV and Archambault music stores (I live in Canada) for new or old happy hardcore compilations that I didn't find before and did so until both stores stopped selling happy hardcore albums entirely (around when Resist Music went under). Then I relied on Youtube, which I still do nowadays. I am pretty sure that I only know about 0.01% of the happy hardcore tracks out there, maybe 0.1% for 90's eurodance and even less for other electronic genres.
