[![SoundCloud_logo (1)](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d14b8095970c-150wi "SoundCloud_logo (1)")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d14b8095970c-popup?ref=hypebot.com)Since SoundCloud’s beginning we’ve focused on building an ecosystem where creativity thrives.

With the recent acquisition of Next Big Sound by Pandora, we have decided, as a normal course of business, that the time has come for Next Big Sound to discontinue using SoundCloud’s API."
