What we are
Music discovery is broken. We're fixing it.
Streaming gave everyone access to everything. What it took away was trust. When every playlist is algorithmically generated and every recommendation is sponsored, you stop believing any of it. You stop finding music that actually matters to you.
Why curators
The best music you've ever found came from a person.
A friend who burned you a CD. A blog you found at 2am. A DJ set that made you download Shazam. Human taste has always been the real recommendation engine — we just never built infrastructure around it.
Auxefeed gives curators the same tools that YouTube gave video creators and Substack gave writers: a subscriber base, a publishing format, and eventually, a way to earn from the audience they build. The tastemakers were always there. Now they have a home.
How it works
Three formats. One signal.
Issues. Blasts. Radars. Each one a different signal, all of them human.
A curated playlist with context. Not just a tracklist — a point of view. Issues are serialized, like chapters. When a curator publishes Issue 12, you know there were 11 before it. That track record is the whole point. You're subscribing to a sensibility, not a mood.
A single track, right now, with a take. Think of it like a retweet with conviction — a curator putting their name behind one song and telling you exactly why. Low friction to publish, high signal to receive. Blasts are how curators stay present between issues and how listeners stay connected to the curators they trust.
A release you're watching before the world catches up. Radars are how curators call their shots early — flagging an upcoming album, a track ID they can't shake, an artist they're convinced is about to break. When the drop lands and delivers, the curator marks it Landed. When it misses, they own that too. Over time, a curator's Radar history becomes a track record of predictive taste — the clearest signal of whether their ear is worth trusting. Follow someone with 14 Radars and 12 Landed and you know exactly what you're subscribing to.
Why not just share a Spotify link
A link disappears. A feed stays.
When you share a Spotify playlist link, you get a snapshot. It exists in a DM or a group chat, context-free and unattributed. The listener has no idea who made it, what their taste track record is, or where to find their next one.
On Auxefeed, every playlist issue is a chapter in a curator's ongoing story. Listeners subscribe to curators the same way they subscribe to newsletters — because they trust the voice, not just the content. And because we sit at the DSP layer, we can tell curators what actually got played, how long listeners stayed, and where they dropped off. That's data Spotify keeps for themselves. We give it to the people who deserve it.
This is the network music discovery always needed. Built for the people who actually care.
