Unlike on popular music streaming sites like Spotify, Google Play Music, and Apple Music, Bandcamp isn't particularly well-suited to introducing people to new music on the platform, so 'longplay.in' is a site that aggregates some of the best indie artists that Bandcamp has to offer. The simple site presents users with a curated selection of songs from a variety of different genres, helping music fans to dig out the next big thing.
As it stands, longplay.in is divided into five categories: electronic, ambient, synth, chill, and jazz. To be sure, longplay.in is the work of a single curator and so it reflects that person's individual tastes, but it nonetheless gives users the opportunity to break out of their music-listening bubbles and find something that they probably wouldn't have stumbled upon on their own.
