Forgive me if this isn’t allowed, but where do people find their obscure music?

I use:

  • this instance
  • local small festivals
  • in Spotify they link similar artists. So, if I like the feel of one small artist I can find more like them
  • occasionally when I search for a specific song they will list not that song, but the title is interesting enough for me to try it

How do others find their obscure music?

    A lot of Japanese live houses have youtube channels where they upload. I actually think it would be cheating to post most of what I find as the language barrier just makes it obscure by default.

    I’ve found a few western clubs doing the same but not to the extent of the Japanese scene. I’ve been very lucky to find a local doing this.

    There’s also local radio. We have https://www.fbi.radio/ which focuses on local Australian acts, I would hope most places care about their local scene half as much.

    edit: forgot to mention band camp. I like noise, ambient, power electronic, all stuff that doesn’t really gain traction in the mainstream.

    I also forgot about cassette uploaders. if you like Electronica then december 32nd, 1969 is amazing.
