How do you discover new music?
I'll start us off:
I used to be pretty active on /r/RepublicOfMusic but I haven't had a reddit account in years.
Now I mostly discover new #music from my recommendations on SoundCloud.
- I have a few playlists that SoundCloud auto generates
- Daily Drops - #newmusic based on my listening history
- SoundCloud Weekly - weekly playlist based on my listening history
- Mixed for Me - Based on something I liked or listen to recently
- Feed - a list of new tracks or reposts from accounts I follow
-
My YouTube Subscriptions
-
Shazam - Shazaming whatever stream or video I'm watching for the background music. Also have the app on my phone for whatever cafe or restaurant is playing music IRL.
-
Balamii - 24/7 Internet Radio - A London based music platform championing emerging & established artists from across the underground music community through radio, video and event production.
Where do you find your new music? Do you have a favorite blog or website you go to?
You're viewing a single thread.
The majority of my music consumption is through Spotify. There are a few artists that I follow and support on Bandcamp too, but not enough that it constitutes a stream of new music.
I wasn't a sub of Republic of music on Reddit, but like the concept, and 3 months feels like a good window. Are people happy with Spotify links as a share, or should I find the content elsewhere before posting here?
