I have a large list on bandcamp that I follow to try and stay up with as many releases as I can, also following relevant genre "tags" on there to get recommendations from artists I may not know about. The genre tags can be hit and miss though due to artists often being unable to tag their work properly.

I'll also listen to shows on SoundCloud and will search out tracks and new artists I hear on there. I'll also occasionally check the Juno charts if I have run out of new music to listen to and in the last year started building up a follow list on Spotify to check new releases there that I may have missed from all the other avenues.

Sorry, but Spotify Discover Weekly of course.

And I also always have Shazam ready to go for when out and about.

A friend recommended pitchfork yesterday to me. Haven't gotten around to it though

I follow a bunch of hash tags on Mastodon.

I subscribe to the digital stream of radio stations through my podcast app. WFUV out of New York City, WXRV out of I don't know where, some random station out of Sydney, Australia I stumbled on that has an EDM DJ on at the same time I'm waking up on the weekends.

I also have Spotify, but I tend to get better recommendations from real human DJs at radio stations.

Bandcamp Features

Listenbrainz has decent recommendations

A simple combination of Spotify, searching for recommendations, as in "artists similar to _____," checking out AllMusic for a brief overview and maybe which album to start with.

At the moment? Watching Anime. A few years ago? Watch music videos of songs I already know on youtube and see what the algorithm spits out.

youtube shuffle works great, its truly random, give it a try.

Bandcamp follows and whatever is playing on CBC music.

I used to use r/listentothis, haven't in a long time though, not even out of "fuck you reddit" just busy I think.
