For the past few years Spotify’s Discover Weekly has been the main way I discover new (to me) music. Secondarily I guess just from browsing the related artists of the ones I already listen to. Looking for other strategies inside or outside of spotify.
It might be a bit old school but I listen to the radio…
My taste is mainstream enough that I just go with Wikipedia from artists I already know, and once a year, the Grammys.
Old school way blogs and piracy website
I’m using differents algorithms Spotify 3rd apps and websites like skiley.net, or canonical path on every noise at once but usually I’m looking by myself directly.
TheNeedleDrop’s weekly track roundup on youtube is my go to when i want to hear something new. Checking upcoming shows at music venues around me also works wonders.
There’s a bunch of youtubers that feature new music and albums.
- Morphy for stoner rock.
- 666MrDoom for stoner and sludge
- The Prime Thanatos for synthwave.
- Nightride FM for synthwave.
A lot of the time ViMusic will just play new stuff based off the song I’m listening to. Then there’s friends, family, and whatever media I’m consuming. Usually an anime or a game with a banger OST or OP + ED. That’s about it, besides the ocassional random deep dive.
