### **Antidote To Algorithms**

Algorithmic driven music discovery like **Spotify's Release Radar** is based on previous listening. As surprisingly accurate as algorithms can be at uncovering similar music you'll love, missing is the chance to discover an artist well outside of your usual sonic comfort zone. 

### **Hypebot's Bottom Line**

One of **SoundCloud**'s superpowers is as a place where emerging and established artists can upload rough mixes and new music to get feedback from other musicians and hardcore music lovers. 

With **The Upload** weekly playlists, the SoundCloud editorial team can surface some of the best - often before they appear on other platforms.
