Rather than relying on algorithms, these curators create spaces where music is experienced through context, conversation, and community. Together with these editors, we explore new trends in curation, reviewing and discovery. How do they build communities and curate the great amount of music? And what new formats and methods do these tastemakers use to reach their audience?
