Newbie Question - Digital Releases

[convert]

Easy,

Have been dj'ing dnb for ages and am rapidly becoming hooked by the dubstep bug.

Was just wondering what the best sites were for digital downloads, and what the deal was within the scene regarding releases? Is it the same situation as with dnb, in that new releases are vinyl only - with the only new bits generally available digitally being unsigned material?

Do all tracks make it to digital? If so how much, if any, of a delay is there between vinyl and digital release?

Please don't let this turn in to another played out vinyl v digital debate thanks!

There's a good mix of digital and vinyl coming out I'd say - some things exclusively vinyl, some exclusively digital - and plenty that are available in both.

Your best answer for where to get it is here - http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=11495

But there's a new thread for labels here which may help you find some new stuff - http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=22931

I'd like to think that the selection of blogs we have on the scene could help you pick up some gems - and as a matter of self-promotion, I'm going to big mine up. - http://www.sittingovation.com - where I give unsigned, and smaller-time artists their much deserved exposure.

Hope this helps as a starting point.

yeah definitely - had checked the where to buy thread first, but was just after some general info about timescales and delays if any between vinyl and digital releases.

Will check out the blog - hadn't thought about that insight.

Cheers!
