Guide

How to use the archive — search, map, accounts

Getting started

44100Hz is a living archive of electronic music culture — venues, events, releases, labels, artists, DJs and the stories around them. This guide walks you through finding things, reading them, and (if you're a creator) keeping your own corner of the archive up to date.

What's inside

The archive is organised into a handful of catalogs, each browsable and searchable:

  • Venues & events — where the music happened, on a map and a timeline.
  • Releases & labels — the records, with tracklists and catalog numbers.
  • Artists, DJs & promoters — the people, linked to everything they touched.
  • News & articles — the editorial layer that ties it together.
Tip

Everything is cross-linked. From a release you can jump to its label, its artists, and every event where a track was played — follow the links.

Two ways in

You'll usually start in one of two places:

  1. Search — if you know what you're after. See Searching the archive.
  2. The map — if you'd rather explore by place. See The venues map.

Languages

The archive is bilingual. English is the default, served at the clean URL; Russian lives under a /ru prefix. Switch languages from the header — every page has a real, indexed counterpart in each language.

Note

This is the public guide. Signed-in creators (DJs, artists, promoters) have their own handbook for managing profiles and content — you'll find it in your cabinet.
