your algorithm
Tuned to your taste,
not anyone else's.
SoundCloud holds over 320 million tracks — more underground music than anywhere else on the internet. the sub delta starts from your taste: seed artists and tracks called springs. Then you set how far the engine explores: deep into the network, close to your neighborhood, or somewhere in between. It scores what's gaining traction early. You set the depth.
- Set your discovery mode: Explore, Balanced, or Refine
- Velocity, engagement, and recency — weighted to your taste
- Your channel logs when you found things. You'll know if you were early.

the process
Four steps.
Then it digs on its own.
A channel is a small machine you configure once and check in on. No infinite feed to babysit.
- 01
Pick your seeds
Add artists and tracks that define your corner of SoundCloud. These are your springs. Everything flows from here.
- 02
Set your discovery mode
Explore broadly, stay close to your neighborhood, or blend both. Your channel runs the algorithm you design.
- 03
The engine runs
Velocity, engagement, and recency, all weighted to your taste. Tracks surface ranked by how much they match what your channel is listening for.
- 04
See what you found
When a track you found early starts getting plays, your channel has the timestamp. You'll know how early you were.
