Calling all curators. It’s your time to shine.
Among a vibrant community of artists and fans, curators are a crucial third pillar of Audius. The existence of stronger tastemakers spotlighting emerging artists is just part of what makes Audius so unique, especially in an age when the largest playlists are historically saved for the biggest names and major labels.
With Audius, curators can earn network rewards, meaning there’s never been a better time to take advantage of all the awesome music at your fingertips.
To get a sense of playlists that have seen strong traction in the past, check out ‘Top Playlists’ under the Explore tab.
You’ll notice that the Top Playlist tab features 20 playlists, just a small glimpse into the vibrant taste-making community emerging on Audius.
Take Max | Zyen, an active community member who created a lo-fi leaning playlist ‘good vibes and nice grooves’ full of a ton of up and coming producers that make Audius the diverse platform it is today.
Or the Urban Bankai team from Atlanta, who curate a monthly Up Next ATL playlist, spotlighting rising artists from Atlanta’s world-famous rap mecca.
Notice the beautiful cover artwork, the description, and the curation! *chef’s kiss*
