#42This means I have to pitch Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. https://music.ishkur.com Recently updated, it's a comprehensive history and map of electronic music. It's been around since 2000, played a big role in my life. Highly recommended.
I've been looking for this for the past few weeks!
Thanks for sharing, it played a big role in my life too.

#43This site and the spotify playlists that it makes, has rekindled my interest in music after being dormant for more than a decade. Never expected that computer generated playlists could be good. Highly recommended.
What new music did you discover and listen to? I listened to a lot of classical music, rock, pop in my youth, then came electronic music and raves. After some relatively music-less years (how come?), few years ago, I came back to electronic music and it blew my mind - psytrance, dark psytrance, goatrance, hi-tech, forest psy to name a few more brain damaging and fun. :)
Also... on the other end of the spectrum, there is Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast [0] with Ambience for the Masses [1] catalogue of ambient music.
And... yes... Mixing of Particulate Solids radio (mops-radio.org - not in operation) will be missed with sorrow. It was a radio from two guys from Bratislava/Slovakia with three streams with only few slots... exceptional. Only recently they stopped streaming completely...

#44I am deaf. How to proceed from a soundbite to songs or even an album? No Spotify and other subscriptions available. It's for my 8 year old son who likes to listen to music.
Re: Every Noise at Once
#45Does anyone know how Spotify assigns the genre tags to artists? Looking up myself on this site shows me as under two main tags: "Folk Rock Italiano" and "SLC Indie" (which is apparently Salt Lake City).
Although folk rock and indie are accurate, I'm neither Italian nor American.

It's interesting that the newest genre on there is trap from 2010. I'm trying to think of newer styles, the only one I can come up with is the so-called "hyperpop" by PC Music, Sophie and 100 gecs. But that's been around since 2012 or so. I'm guessing it's a combination of factors:
1) Playlist culture negates the need for a clear taxonomy of music
2) It takes a few years of hindsight to recognize what is a real genre and not just marketing/hype
3) Electronic music is "done": most interesting permutations of notes, rhythms and timbres have been tried already

For various reasons they are secretive about this, but the genre system is inherited from EchoNest which they acquired in 2014. EchoNest's main idea was to combine audio analysis with natural language processing and web scraping to categorize music. In fact the two founders were PhD's in each respective field.
But nowadays I'm guessing they are utilizing their huge dataset of playlists to group artists under tags. Obviously such systems will work better the more popular an artist is.

Mousing over a button that plays a soundbite will give hover text that states the artist and song name.
