A Different April 2016 (daily new releases)

#NewMusicFriday #DiscoverDaily

 

2016 week 14 : from April 1 to April 7

 

Selected and added : April 1 - 52 tracks

 

A Different April

 

March was again a very great month for indie new releases. We start April now with the same hope to reach again 400 great tracks at the end of the month. Discover the new alternative releases on Spotify before most of the other monthly/yearly playlists on the place, which sometimes, sneakily, use this one to feed theirs.

 

As usual this playlist is a carefully handpicked selection of new releases, including #NewMusicFridays releases and the other daily releases all along each week. This playlist is updated daily until the end of the month.

 

No compromise in this playlist. It's not because a song or an artist is trending that it will be added if it's not fitting what I like. As the usual subscribers know, this playlist is the best way to discover alternative quality new music in different genres as : Indie Rock, Psychedelic, Indie Pop, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Electro Pop, Electronic, Indie Folk, Folk Rock.

 

Note : As any selection, this compilation is totally subjective and represents only Soundofus taste and choice.

Just started into the list but the Bob Dylan song is great so far

Follow me

So do you place your songs carefully one after each other for flow because Quiet Life whose vocals sounds highly influenced singing style after Dylan came after your Bob Dylan.  A lot of track list orders are obviously random with some people.  I wonder how hard you work on transistion since your lists seem to do better than most.

Thanks to notice that. It's pleasant to see some people sensitive to the work done. 🙂

 

I would answer that : yes, to craft a flowing playlist is a long way to go. That means to know the music. That means hours of listening. That means changing several times songs order before to be satisfied. Many things that most of people, thinking they are doing "the best playlist ever", don't realize.

 

Creating an interesting playlist means to be selective in the choice of songs and to not throw them only one after one without think about : "Why this song before and not after?", "Why this song would be better after this one?" etc...

I have one my profile massive playlists in which I just added favorite albums compliling of thousands of songs so I can hit random and play by a lottery of music, but than I end up hitting fastforward more than I would like.  A real playlist; that you want to play front to back I would think most people would treat like a Mix tape.

But people made those would have to sit next a cassette recorder and making a 60 minute tape you had to happy with the results to want to use it over and over again so I guess because of the quickness a playlist can be made its easy to just throw a bunch in.  First public one I shared here last week I put a bunch in and than spent hours trying to fix the flow after the fact.  That I experienced many hurdles, and I know it could still be better.  Thats why my second one was a focus of just G&R and the usual suspects.  I am trying to refine the why a lot more than the just the who.
