This site and the spotify playlists that it makes, has rekindled my interest in music after being dormant for more than a decade. Never expected that computer generated playlists could be good. Highly recommended.
- StavrosK 6y agoWhere do you see the playlists? I only see one at the top.
- input_sh 6y agoYou can also do something with no algorithm what so ever: see every new Spotify release tagged in a genre, updated every Friday: https://everynoise.com/new_releases_by_genre.cgi https://everynoise.com/new_releases_by_genre.cgi Also you can see what's featured on Spotify's homepage for each country: https://everynoise.com/worldbrowser.cgi?country=NL https://everynoise.com/worldbrowser.cgi?country=NL
- asiachick 6y agoAs usual Spotify's lists are utter crap The first 2 songs listed under "Trip Hop" are not remotely trip hop https://everynoise.com/new_releases_by_genre.cgi?genre=trip%20hop®ion=US https://everynoise.com/new_releases_by_genre.cgi?genre=trip%...
- 8bitsrule 6y agoI listened to music for a couple of less-often heard instruments, and the genre names were completely off-the-mark. Great quantity, little accuracy.
- gala8y 6y agoWhat new music did you discover and listen to? I listened to a lot of classical music, rock, pop in my youth, then came electronic music and raves. After some relatively music-less years (how come?), few years ago, I came back to electronic music and it blew my mind - psytrance, dark psytrance, goatrance, hi-tech, forest psy to name a few more brain damaging and fun. :)
- gala8y 6y agoAlso... on the other end of the spectrum, there is Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast [0] with Ambience for the Masses [1] catalogue of ambient music. And... yes... Mixing of Particulate Solids radio (mops-radio.org - not in operation) will be missed with sorrow. It was a radio from two guys from Bratislava/Slovakia with three streams with only few slots... exceptional. Only recently they stopped streaming completely...

- sorghum 6y agoI’ve been a huge fan of this project for a while and have some tips: - The Spotify playlists all update automatically (usually weekly) so it’s worth following genres you like. - Don’t miss the Pulse and Edge playlists linked at the top of most genre pages! Both are based on the listening activity of fans of the genre, with Pulse focusing on currently popular music and Edge on lesser-known artists. - Smarter Playlists (http://smarterplaylists.playlistmachinery.com/ http://smarterplaylists.playlistmachinery.com/) is a visual environment for building programmatic playlists using Spotify API calls. I use the Pulse and Edge playlists to make my own “Release Radar”-style playlists focused on specific genres, sorted to show the newest and least popular music first. I’ve also been tinkering on a little handheld ESP32 Spotify remote that includes the genre and country playlists from here. It’s handy to use with a smart speaker to browse music when you don’t know what you want to hear.
