A TON of fresh, new, independent music: Welcome Jamendo!

Ladies and Gentlemen music lovers of Whyd, we have a big announcement for you! Today we’re proud to welcome another platform that is a treasure chest of independent music from all over the world. 

Having been around since 2004, Jamendo has been a home for independent musicians who are seeking alternatives to the traditional structure of music distribution. Jamendo helps artists reach new fans, license their music, and synchronize their tracks with advertisements, corporate videos, or even cinema. Jamendo’s emerging, innovative artists are exactly the type of musicians that Whyd music lovers will be happy to discover, scratching that remote itch in the back of the ear that comes from having unequaled music appetites. 

Now you can add any track you want from Jamendo, either with the [+ Add Track] button on the site or with the bookmarklet. We’re counting on you to help share these artists get their music out to the world! 

We encourage you to go and start exploring Jamendo now, as we will be launching a playlist contest next week featuring music from the platform. To get you started, here’s a Whyd playlist put together by the audiophiles on the Jamendo team! 

Never stop jamendoing! 

Everyone Welcome Guillaume!

When the team split and we began our quest for world domination, we were feeling a little lonely with just half the team in Paris. So we decided to bring in some help, to develop the city pages, improve the experience of the Whyd community, and help us with the all-important growth hacking. His name is Guillaume, and he is a music lover.

He claims to love all music, and this is certainly a theory that we will test, but he is most passionate about 80’s funk, ripping off a list of artists and groups that we’ve never heard of before, which solicited a lot of respect, and intrigue. 

Guillaume will be here with us until June 20th, so make sure that you subscribe to him on Whyd for what is promising to be some very, very cool jams. 

From the Whyd team: Welcome Guillaume! Never stop jamming.
