Because I buy so much on Bandcamp, I get daily emails from any artists/labels that I have purchased before, which helps to take some of the sting out of it. The most effective way of doing it I find though is to subscribe to the YouTube channels that post new Bandcamp and vinyl only stuff. You get some that are Beatport releases as well, but it is massively weighted towards Bandcamp. Obviously using YouTube is a lot easier to search, listen and the algorithm tunes into the type of stuff you are looking for as well.

Can’t remember all of the YouTube channels off the top of my head but the ones I can think of are:

After Rave
Some uncertain sir
Ballacid

Kumquat not really an issue tbh, you pay each label/artist individually, if you pay by credit card you can check out everything at once i believe

    So according to my Bandcamp ‘feed’ there were only six releases from over 500 artists and labels today.

    Starting to get really fucked off now 🤬

      Mad_Cyril the feed is pony. Where stuff it uploaded in advance on release day you don’t get to see it

      I tend to go through my ‘following’ list once a week and search from there

          Emails have stopped as well Eril. Now I’ll have to go looking for tubes

          DO THEY KNOW WHO I AM???

              The bandcamp feed and some aspects of the app are indeed really stupid.

              I get quite a bit of music from there so it’s a shame.

              As an aside, I got my full data history from Spotify recently and it’s obviously helpful for what I wanted but at the same time a bit scary.

              I was really hoping epic was going to bring bandcamp’s UI into the current millennia. Now I’m assuming the platform’s days are numbered.

              Happens to me all the time. They stop sending the emails, and if that doesn’t work, you get the cease and desist letters asking you to stop playing their music.

                Seriously contemplating going back to Beatport 😬

                So in the ‘Fan’ settings in my account, all the email options were miraculously unchecked.

                Have re-set, see what happens.

                Tenterhooks etc etc…

                Mad_Cyril the biggest fix bandcamp needs is the player so you can listen and browser
