everything spotify recommends to me is literal dogshit and the prospect of personal tastes being created and catered to by algorithms is grim asf. there is so much music in the world and the vast majority of it isn’t in the Spotify or Apple Music catalogues, much less the stuff that music discovery algorithms and editorial staff decide will actually make it to your ears. music discovery through radio like NTS and Rinse FM, staffed by actual people, is the wayyyyy. I’m shaking my ass to this rn

The Lot Radio is one of my favorite places in the city and I play their live streams every night. The diversity of music and people is so fresh compared to an algo on a device

Ben I think KEXP.org (Seattle based, streaming worldwide) is perhaps one of the best "staffed and curated by real humans" outlets on the planet.

NTS RADIO

!!! i am so sick of spotify rn. i don’t know if i’ll ever leave spotify - but i feel like, it’s almost impossible for me to discover new music. i could create a classical flute playlist and spotify is like “lets add charli xcx next” - NTS radio has two djs spinning at all times. almost always it’s a hit very seldom is it a miss. sometimes i’m like yeahhh i don’t know if german hardcore rock at 9pm on a tuesday is a move. but it’s where ive found a lot of my recent music. i love this movement of getting away from AI suggestions and allowing humans to choose for me what to listen to

NTS radio

I don't touch spotify as much these days, their discovery algo just isn't great.
NTS radio is playing in my apt basically all day — go download the app, tune in live to one of their 2 stations or browse their archive of shows, exceptionally well curated sets from tastemakers and djs from all over.
linked is a very fun set from last month, psych rock soundtrack kinda vibes and how I'm starting my day

Streaming services are cooked. Sure, you can find what you want, but you rarely get what you NEED!
And what you need is an ambient show in Bali spicing up your eardrums in the morning. That, and all the other magic gracing the airwaves over at NTS every day. Discover something new and get suuuuucked on into a rabbit hole of niche, hard to find freaky shit!
