Looking for a very specific genre of music and I am unsure of where to ask for suggestions.

i'm kind of surprised no one mention the old boi last.fm

edit - to be clear i understand its an all but dead platform but its always been there for me :') and their algorithm seems better than it should be.

[–] babyphatman@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

last.fm was/is great! I used to use it extensively and it lead me to so much new music over the years...

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its all those scrobbles.

But I agree, last.fm was the last streaming music service I ever used regularly. Everything else just seems to have such shitty suggestions comparatively.

i'm happy i'm not crazy. i just regret not scrobbling for like 7 years :(

Plugging !radiolemmy@lemm.ee. Not exactly what you asked for, but a cool community project that covers a wide spectrum of musical genres.

Might be a case of 'build it and they will come'.

I've been writing dance music for about 20 years, I think the relentless pigeonholing of genres can get ridiculous, but if it's within that cast array I might be able to help... Before someone else wildly disagrees :)

Wildly disagree.

You’ll have to pry my deep minimal organic afrotech from my cold dead hands.

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

One day, you'll realise it was deep minimal organic afrotech dubhouse, and come to your senses

It can definitely get ridiculous, but it is unavoidable when you really start to develop a taste for music.

If the community for this doesn't have enough use to be sustainable, you could also ask in !nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca, !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world, or !tipofmytongue@lemmy.world

https://gnoosic.com might work. You tell it artists you like, and it gives recommendations. The recommendations are based on what other people have input as their "artists I like". So if someone says they like Bob Dylan and Mutemath, the next time someone says they like Bob Dylan, Gnoosic might recommend Mutemath.

What kind of music do you like? I love finding and sharing music.
