How do you discover new music (beehaw.org)

I listen to music 3-6 hours a day and am the type of person who doesn't enjoy hearing the same song the same day or really the day after. Sites I've used for discovering new music were reddit and rateyourmusic.com.

Beyond that I do use Spotify song radios, but typically the song has to be far outside my standard genres to show me new music.

Whatdo others use to discover new music?

There's some pretty good YouTube channels geared for that, you just have to find the ones with the vibes you like. And once you're into one those channels, youtube gets very good at recommending more of those channels.

I really like Music for empty rooms they have a lot of all kind of ambient music, jazz, niche psychedelic rock, old disco/soul, really hard to find japanese music, international older instrumental stuff 60s-80s. Overall more niche I guess, I love them, give a try, they update everyday, sometimes a full album. And The art of listening they post less often, but it's always full albums and they have much more recent stuff, and they have a very diverse repertoire of styles outside of the most popular rock-pop. From all around the world.
