		Editorial MP3 Site Launches Genre Walkthrough Tutorials Today
		For everyone who has ever secretly wondered what the difference was between abstract and downtempo but was afraid to ask, Epitonic.com, the epicenter of downloadable music for the aurally fixated, today launched an exclusive collection of audio genre walkthroughs.

"Epitonic is about true music discovery, taking leaps into stuff you've never listened to before. Giving our users genre walkthroughs helps them learn about categories of music and decide which way they want to leap."

-- Aaron Newton,
President and founder, Epitonic.com

Users can listen as Epitonic's editors - musicians, DJs, and music industry insiders - take users through the history and evolution of 13 musical genres, while listening to tracks by artists that define the category. Users can learn about punk, indie rock, math rock, folk/acoustic, house, techno, breakbeat, drum and bass, abstract, downtempo, hip hop, experimental, and 20th Century composers, then continue their education by checking out Epitonic.com's free legal tracks by the top artists in each category.

"Epitonic is about true music discovery, taking leaps into stuff you've never listened to before," said Aaron Newton, Epitonic.com's president and founder. "Giving our users genre walkthroughs helps them learn about categories of music and decide which way they want to leap."
