www.thump-radio.com If Napster is a community of listeners, Thump Radio is a legal-hassle-free community of clubbers, artists and labels, all neatly pulled together by streaming audio shared by all. Lots of opportunities to check out new DJs or established DJs' new stuff, then tell your friends about it. All genres, and the sounds come over crystal-clear, uninterrupted.
www.danceportal.co.uk More streaming dance music, but this time from the clubs of the U.K. And sometimes from as far away or close to home as Tokyo. You can either catch a live set or stream an archived gig. And you can stay in touch with the rest of techno's global village through the site's listings, news articles, features, video interviews, links and galleries.
www.so-net.ne.jp/CYBERJAPAN/ Mitomi Tokoto puts an awful lot of love into this bursting online magazine. Not that any of us need an introduction to Tokyo street culture -- we stroll through the ever-evolving fashion show every day. But we don't get to all the hip outposts and we don't get to see all of the city's anonymous stars. So Mitomi catalogs them for us and gives us plenty of peeks inside a vibrant club culture that Newsweek tried clueing the rest of the world into a couple weeks back.
