Rdio — playing musical matchmaker once more.
In a seemingly relentless effort to hook you up with new and undiscovered music, the online streaming service has collaborated with some of the world’s most influential labels to produce dozens of curated radio stations featuring their artists. Now you can visit a page such as the one above for Toronto’s own Arts & Crafts. The label’s artists are now aggregated, with stations based on those artists also at the ready.
As if this weren’t enough to have you exhuming your new favourite band, Rdio has worked in a similar fashion with tastemakers and influencers in Canada and abroad. Curated lists by the likes of Exclaim!, Yelp Toronto, Hype Machine, and more can point your ears in the right direction should you find your current playlists gathering dust.
The lists below outline which labels and influencers are currently available on the site to Canadians.
