Sounds in the cloud

Ok, so thanks to @rivastarr on Twitter I found this amazing site tonight which just blew me away.

Soundcloud is a music discover/sharing/distribution site centred around the EDM (Electronic Dance Music) scene. Essentially the site lets artists upload tracks for users to listen to and in some cases, download for their own use. Artists can also submit tracks to labels for A&R or labels can upload tracks to distribute to their promo lists for DJ's to play around the globe.

Users can also comment on the uploaded files, follow favourite artists and labels, all while participating in the sites community. While it caters to a very specialist market, Soundcloud showcases an innovative new way to utilise the Internet to collaborate, promote and distribute music.

I know I may be a bit slow with jumping onto this one, but to say I'm absolutely blown away by this is an understatement. Check it out.
