Spotify Playlists, Updated Regularly, Not Shit

July 7, 2022 3:20 PM

It's been six years since this was last asked I reckon, so it's time to go round the houses again: what are your favourite Spotify playlists that get updated regularly? Something like the WFMU's heavily played records playlist, a constantly evolving repository of great sounds that are mostly new to me.

Similar rules as frumiousb's please: Spotify-only, updated semi-regularly (but the more often the better), no restriction on genre. That said, I'm not addicted to music produced today, happy if it's trawling from the past. What have you got cooking?

KCRW's 5 Songs To Hear This Week might be up your alley. (Full disclosure: I'm the senior producer in KCRW's Music Dept., but I do not curate or have influence on this playlist.)

I enjoy Pure Noise Records' Emoish playlist. Mostly newer music, and as the title implies, emo and emo-adjacent music.
