I have to be honest, Spotify is not a source of music for me.

If it were for Soundcloud, but ultimately I'd like to discover new tracks and songs on my own. Where's the fun in machine doing it for you?

I get the craziest recommendations from the YT algo. Some vinyl-only release a dude ripped with 687 views, 2 comments, and impossible to buy anywhere.

I would never be able to find that stuff on my own.

Xarabass is my favourite YouTuber rn, been on a French touch kick lately and a lot of The eternals /Vinyl Fever stuff has been super underground but he’s always got some new stuff.
I'm in the same boat. In my experience, fellow human beings are the best source of recommendations. I constantly get great recommendations from a few friends and family members (I have to admit, maybe I'm lucky).

This is actually what prompted me to create https://digs.fm - I wanted an easy way to see what music my friends digged lately (something like Goodreads, but for music).

How do you discover new tracks on soundcloud?
