Hi folks,

I've taken a punt and popped this topic here... please move if I'm in the wrong end of town.

Spotify:

1. Do other clubs have a Spotify account? If so, what is it - lets share them?

2. Do Spotify accounts have to reflect the record collections of the residents / promotors or can they be more broadly curated to reflect the 'musical potential' of the venue or event in question?

   I ask because Spotify has a much broader reach and function when compared to Mixcloud/Soundcloud. The latter (I felt) was much more about DJ's / Collectors putting live vinyl mixes together from their own collections. There was something in the 'liveness of it' which was specifically appealing - you could hear pops and hisses, or in my case, poorly timed cueing. Because they were often live, they were durational - so I appreciated that the mix took the same time to prepare as it did to listen. It wasn't about dropping MP3's onto a timeline (though MP3 mixes were also available on these platforms) but for the record collecting community I felt it was also very much about the craft and effort of the output. You got a sense of who had which records, what was possibly current or in vogue and you appreciated the skill of selecting and sequencing... like a live set. Spotify doesn't offer this, but i still think it's great!

   I've set up a Home Run Soul Club account which is here: 👉 Spotify – Home Run Soul Club 👈

I hope you enjoy, and I look forward to your reflections and views.
