My Question or Issue

I listen to massive amounts of music, which is the main reason why I bought spotify premium. But, there seems to be no good way for me to ask spotify to generate an artist radio, a song radio, or even just picking from the daily mixes to find NEW music that I have never heard. The discover weekly is often great, but I finish it in a day, and then have difficulties asking spotify for more unique music.

 

In total, out of my 6 daily mixes today, I have 76 songs that I have liked (that's over 25% of all the music in there), where the majority of the other songs are from a very small list of artists that I have already heard. To make matters worse, my options are limited to four separate lists of electronic/chip music, one with "game music" (so, more electronic) and a single category of math rock. Wow, such a great variety, and to think I've had these exact mixes in my dailes for over a month. 

If I generate a song radio of a new song I've not heard before, it becomes  predominantly populated by music I have either liked before, or music I have heard. 

 

Just as an example, if I go pick out a song from an artist I've not listened to in a while, like Radical face, and pick out a song of theirs. It still populates the list with about 70% of songs I have heard before. 

 

So, my problem is, there is no way to actively filter away music that I have heard prior from my radio, or daily mixes (and sometimes discover weeklies, like why???). And, spotify seems to be doing it's damnedest to keep me listening to music I have already listened to. Like, really, do we need both "On repeat" and "Repeat Rewind".

 

TLDR: Add a "filter listened to songs", or "generate radio with only new music"

 

Thanks
