Love this. I'm a huge SoundCloud fan but discovery is tough unless you spend a lot of time curating your feed following the right artists/people. This feels a lot like Netflix's recommendations (e.g. "Because you liked Mr FijiWiji, Direct, & Aruna").
Here's what my Discover feed looks like:

I'm a daily SoundCloud user, but discovery had been weak. Most of my discovery was through Hypem. I'd like to see a shuffle option to shuffle through all suggestions, rather than just playing all songs similar to X.

Fun Fact: SoundCloud does not give you the ability to access who you are following on its mobile apps. I keep asking about this feature (an extremely obvious feature) and they keep ignoring. I love SoundCloud but it's pretty inexcusable that something so vital has been neglected for so long. Do better SoundCloud. Do better.

Long overdue feature, but much appreciated nonetheless. As a soundcloud power-user, I am definitely excited to test this out and to help me discover new music.
As this feature develops, I could see it becoming more of a flagship differentiator amongst the music services. Soundcloud's strength is in being a home for burgeoning artists and the social networkโฆย See more
