Music is a basic element of our day to day lives so it’s important to keep new music coming in every so often. That shouldn’t be too hard considering there’s an enormous collection of musical artists just waiting to be discovered.

But how do you start the search to find the best new music in Maine?

The first thing you need to do is know your musical tastes. From the top of your head, write down the name of songs or musical artists and find out what kind of music you really enjoy. For example, if you love anime and their soundtracks, write down Japanese pop or the name of any anime soundtrack and if you play saxophone in a jazz group, write down "careless whispers" as that song features one of the best saxophone melodies.

Once you have an idea of what kind of music you like, you can decide where you want to start. You can be specific with your decision (e.g. jazz music featuring saxophone) or generalized (anime music).

Okay, now that you are familiar with where you want to start exploring, the real fun begins. There are many ways you can use to dig up new music on a regular basis. You can use online streaming platforms, radios or even YouTube. The basic algorithm on every online platform allows you to select artists, songs or genres that you enjoy and it plays music that is similar to what you've selected. Most of these services are pretty easy to get used to and free.

If mainstream music does not appeal to you, you can also listen to your local radio. Not many people turn to local radio to find quality music, however, if you give it a chance you might just find your new favorite musical artist. Not to mention, if you don’t enjoy a particular station, you can switch to another one anytime, one that plays music that suits your musical taste.

Mobile applications like SoundCloud are also amazing as they allow you to save music offline. You can also browse through many rising musical artists or songs in order to find the one you will actually get a kick out of. Again, you have the option to start with an artist or a band and the app will give you the names of artists that are much the same. If you’re into the alternative music scene, SoundCloud could just be your hangout zone. With alternative music artists like Deep Gold from Portland trending on the platform, you can rest assured you’ll only find the best new music.

Pro tip: when discovering new music, don’t be confined to your musical penchants. Have a go at different genres, themes, even different languages and who knows what you end up liking.
