5 ways to discover new music: from algorithm to curator

Streaming recommendations serve songs similar to what you already play. That is comfortable, but it lowers your odds of meeting a new sound. Five simple ways to take discovery back:

1. Follow a curator. A list from someone whose taste you trust holds surprises an algorithm will not find.
2. Look for single-genre lists. A narrow genre means a deep dig.
3. Read artists in their own words. Interviews reveal a track's backstory and the rest of the catalogue.
4. See what your favourite artists listen to. The names they reference open new doors.
5. Set aside a weekly 'random' day. Play a list you have never heard from start to finish.

That is exactly what Flowmüzik lists are for: every track is heard by a curator, annotated and put in order.
