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!

The summer got off to a slow start, with rain and chilly temperatures across the French capitol for much of July and August. But it’s in full swing now, with big sunshine everyday and nice warm afternoon temperatures. It’s the classic Indian Summer, and we’re loving it! 

Over the summer, we asked our curators from the Paris community to propose their summer playlists. There were some excellent ones, which is no surprise considering the quality of the music shared by our curators. And we’re a bit selfish too, since those playlists became the soundtracks to our summertime (thanks guys!). 

It was a tough competition, but we promised our community that we would the best playlist would be selected, and the winner would be invited to the Tony’s loft to eat his famous, homemade sushi. Monsieur Dames, we have a winner!
