Global Noise Online is an excellent blog about sound art and new media art, "with an emphasis on China and other developing areas in the world." They have regularly covered noise and electronic music from China, including translations of blog posts by artists, reviews, and news. If you have the slightest interest in what's going on in those scenes, consider GNO essential. (Until recently their site was at globalnoiseonline.wordpress.com, but they've since moved to Chinese New Ear).
Azchael from Rock in China has posted several times on the forums here, and I don't hesitate to label his site essential, as well. Covering all aspects of rock (loosely defined here to include electronic music as well), with a special emphasis on metal. And while I've been remiss in linking to his site before, I am forever in his debt for his post about B6's new EP, My Post-Rock Yard (with a link to B6's original post on his blog). The download link is bad at B6's place, but Azchael rehosted the four MP3s.
Mothers Against Noise vol. 1 is a free online compilation created as a response to the Mothers Against Noise "anti-noise" organization (which has since been outed as a marketing gimmick. Never mind the gimmick, just grab the free comp, which features Crno Klank (a Belgian collective featuring cdrk) and B6, who submitted a three minute wall of noise, "Chill Out Muzik [POP mix]", under the name Bizix.
