How do you discover new music?

I'll start us off:
I used to be pretty active on /r/RepublicOfMusic but I haven't had a reddit account in years.
Now I mostly discover new #music from my recommendations on SoundCloud.

  1. I have a few playlists that SoundCloud auto generates
  • Daily Drops - #newmusic based on my listening history
  • SoundCloud Weekly - weekly playlist based on my listening history
  • Mixed for Me - Based on something I liked or listen to recently
  • Feed - a list of new tracks or reposts from accounts I follow

  1. My YouTube Subscriptions

  2. Shazam - Shazaming whatever stream or video I'm watching for the background music. Also have the app on my phone for whatever cafe or restaurant is playing music IRL.

  3. Balamii - 24/7 Internet Radio - A London based music platform championing emerging & established artists from across the underground music community through radio, video and event production.

Where do you find your new music? Do you have a favorite blog or website you go to?

Thanks everyone for sharing!

I mostly use Bandcamp or random browsing of Youtube suggestions, which sometimes lead me to Soundcloud.
Another of my favourite sources is… Original soundtracks from movies. That's how I discovered Teeth of the Sea, Grandbrothers or the late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
