Social Media & Music: Hype Machine

The Internet is full of places where anyone can stream music for free. We have YouTube, spotify, and 8tracks, but one of my recent favourites is Hype Machine. Although at first it can seem a little bit tricky to navigate, once you get the hang of it, it is an awesome way to discover new music. This website stands out to me from other music sites because it offers an easy way to come across new music, as well remixes of your favourite songs. Instead of just playing a song, it links you to the original blog it was posted on, while giving you the option to listen to it on the spot. It gives you the choice to look at the newest uploads to the site, remixes, non remixes, and Canadian posts while also giving you the option to search by genre. One of my favourite features on the site is that it gives you the ability to follow your friends and see what they are listening, making it a great website to keep in touch musically with friends.
