Exhaustive music discovery in Spotify. Using a set of user-defined playlists, The Storm will scour the Spotify library for all the new releases from the artists of that playlist. There is no following or manual selection needed from the user, just a playlist of the music they already like. All releases within a given window will then be sent directly to the output playlist the user desires, ready for listening.
