BBC 6 Music. Man, does that station ever have its finger on the pulse. You have to be kind of ready for anything, and it's not always easy listening, but you often get pure gold. Not uncommonly, it'll be music that isn't even released yet, or maybe only exists on the artist's Soundcloud page. As a bonus, quite a few of its DJs are famous people who you didn't know are really into some musical niche.
On the other hand, my friend-who-consistently-finds-cool-music pretty much only listens to Soundcloud, and whatever it recommends. It seems to be the most popular platform these days for a certain type of eclectic artist.
- usuallymatt 7y agoCame here to say 6Music too. It's an absolute goldmine and I've discovered some great stuff on there (Nils Frahm, Hannah Peel, Anna Meridith, Erland Cooper, Big Thief). I'm more into contemporary instrumental stuff these days but enjoy other genres, too. I usually listen to Mary-Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft, Guy Garvey, Cillian Murphy whenever he's on. Which DJs do you recommend on there?
- jlarcombe 7y agoStewart Maconie's Freakzone for incredible stuff you won't have heard before!
- usuallymatt 7y agoCheers!
- siquick 7y agoGreat to see those names on HN
- Intermernet 7y agoI recently discovered Nils Frahm, the day after he performed live in Sydney. Now I have to wait for him to tour again!
- renjimen 7y agoHe's great live - well worth the wait :)
