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.
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:
- Search — if you know what you're after. See Searching the archive.
- 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.
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.
