Thanks for the comment! We are working through what exactly that will look like at the moment. First thing we think we want to add is comments to tracks. Following this I want artists to meet other artists and to start sharing their fan bas

I definitely think humans will always be the best to recommend things to humans who want to remain human.

We definitely need to be cautious of people gamifying the system. Humans are smart though and they will always find a way! We will do our best and hopefully can always find a positive way to turn any bad acting on its head and make it benef

Great advice. I’ve used submit hub for many years, it is a great product. The issue with have with genre is you really can have any genre, and new ones are being made up all the time. We won’t be able to have competitive lists for all of th

You are spot on, we don’t yet say enough that this is primarily an artist centred platform. We want this to be a place that artists share fans and get discovered by industry and playlisters so I think making this clear is key. Thanks for th

Oooo, interesting! Are you involved in this project at all?

I used to use Last FM for this, but no longer. I think this needs to be brought back on modern services. An artist might be in a totally different genre but if they have the same ‘feel’ you might like both

This is my opinion, hopefully this product helps fill that gap a little :)

Great feedback! I'm pleased to say genres are coming, all tracks are tagged by genre already so it's just a matter of waiting till we have enough to show them by genre.

Good points here. What we want to achieve is something akin to the 'support' act before a headline set. Where a more successful artist champions a smaller artist because they like what they are doing. With this site the goal is fo

Love this, I totally agree. That's why we want to find a way to make this work without algorithms. We know what hits us in the same way as something else. I'd love to build this site to achieve close to what you suggest.

I love your music! Thanks for sharing your insight. I'm happy to say that verifying and posting from other services is coming... we just chose to start with Spotify. We are a small team of two working on this as a passion project so ha

Genre filters are coming, once we have enough tracks live. What we want to do it give artists and music lovers a place to discover talent outside of what might be served up for them by algos. If the community likes a track enough it will ri
