How it works
1. We listen to the tastemakers
College radio DJs, indie venue bookers, freeform stations — the humans who decide what gets played before anyone else.
2. We track what's getting airtime
Every day, we scan playlists from KEXP, WFMU, KCRW, and dozens of other stations. When multiple tastemakers pick the same track, that's signal.
3. We organize by vibe
Tracks get sorted into "flavors" — mood-based playlists like Guitar Room, Late Night, or Sunday Morning. Find what fits your moment.
