RYM is an iconic website, but my favorite part is their genre and sub-genre list which is EXTENSIVE. I like to choose a random sub-genre then listen to all the top rated albums in said genre. Super fun way to find stuff. Aquarium Drunkard is a great blog/radio/podcast. Their website will send you into a very beautiful rabbit hole of music you’ve likely never heard before. I found an old favorite Miki Hirayama via AD-plus the band/artist interviews are great.
Every time Spotify‘s algorithm hits a wall in terms of giving me new music, I use this site to look for new releases but I specifically look at artists who‘s music I haven’t heard before or if I’m feeling super experimental I’ll only look Into genres I've never heard of or barely know. I highly recommend this, it’s a fun way to discover new artists and music in general🤩 Music roamer is also a goated way of finding artists similar to your faves https://www.musicroamer.com (use the desktop version)
Great resource to explore sub genres of your choosing - but I especially enjoy perusing the history of electronic music movements and how different cultures influenced each other over the last 30+ years across this little planet of ours. cool stuff!
