Disco, a platform for independent artists to reach more fans
Just launched the MVP of my startup today after two weeks of non-stop work. Right now, Disco is an artist discovery platform where artists can submit their Spotify tracks for users to listen to through a Tinder-like UI, swiping right on the ones they like. The vision is far grander, of course, and involves fostering greater artist fan connection while also providing a sustainable source of revenue for artists. The music industry in its current state is too impersonal and not sustainable for all but the biggest artists. The solution to both problems is artist fan connection/engagement,…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Just launched the MVP of my startup today after two weeks of non-stop work. Right now, Disco is an artist discovery platform where artists can submit their Spotify tracks for users to listen to through a Tinder-like UI, swiping right on the ones they like. The vision is far grander, of course, and involves fostering greater artist <-> fan connection while also providing a sustainable source of revenue for artists. The music industry in its current state is too impersonal and not sustainable for all but the biggest artists. The solution to both problems is artist <-> fan connection/engagement, where an artist's fans can interact directly with the artist and actually connect with them rather than cheer them on from far away. I believe loyal fans will be willing to financially support their favorite artists in exchange for that level of connection. Disco is aiming to build the platform to enable that. I focused the MVP on discovery in order to focus on artists who are just starting their career. I'm excited to conduct lots of interviews to really understand the problems they face. More info on the future of Disco is here: https://info.disco.so The actual app is here: https://disco.so As always, I am open to any and all feedback :)

I love music and I'm always trying to discover new music that I can enjoy. In the past years I was using a fairly tedious process of organizing the music albums (or DJ sets, radio shows) in a few lists: - Want to Listen - Listened - Listened (and liked) I wanted to keep track of these lists, what I discovered each month/year and share all this activity and lists with my friends. For that, I was using a combination of tools that weren't made exactly for this job (Discogs+Spotify+IM apps), resulting in a cumbersome experience. So a few months ago I started this hobby project, with the…
