Mixcloud Announces Significant Milestone of 1 Million Curators Contributing To Its Platform

Mixcloud, the online radio platform that connects listeners to the world’s largest community of music Curators, today announced that more than 1 million uploaders have contributed radio shows, DJ mixes and Podcasts to the service.

This milestone includes DJs, radio stations, Podcasters, festivals, venues, hobbyists, and other Curators who reach Mixcloud listeners with their shows, sets, compilations and additional types of longform audio. Between them, Mixcloud now has more than 10 million shows available for streaming with an average length of over an hour each.

Highlights include:

The top curators on Mixcloud include a range of professional Curators, superstar DJs, and hobbyists alike:

1.     Above & Beyond
2.     LDBK radio
3.     John Digweed
4.     Carl Cox
5.     DJ Dimsa
6.     NTS Radio
7.     Jazzcat
8.     Brooklyn Radio
9.     LeFtO
10.  Adam Beyer

The most popular genres in terms of share of total minutes streamed include a broad range of styles, genres, and sounds:

House (Deep House, Electro House, Tech House): 36%
Urban (Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae): 16%
Funk, Soul and Jazz: 12%
Trance = 8%
Techno = 5%

What’s more, activity remains strong throughout the long tail of the shows available on Mixcloud. On any given month, a third of the curators with content available on the platform have their shows played, and listeners on average stream over 2 million unique shows a month.

“Mixcloud already boasts the world’s largest community of music curators, and reaching this milestone only solidifies our hold on that claim,” says Mixcloud co-founder Nico Perez. “Having reached this point with a team of less than 15 people makes me incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished, as well as motivated to continue our momentum. This is just the foundation for some exciting new things in store for both listeners and Curators in the near future.”

Relaunched Website. Updates Apps. New Advisors

Mixcloud is recognizing this milestone with an eye towards the future, not the past. The company today also introduced a redesigned website and updated mobile apps, which together pave the way for an exciting roadmap for the future

The new website has a more modern, cleaner design that is also more responsive, more open, and more flexible to listeners’ unique preferences. Trending and featured shows are more easily accessible, containing more information and options.

The Mixcloud iOS and Android apps are now more native and responsive, translating to faster load times, and also now feature the ability to create playlists of listeners’ favorite shows for more customization and personalization.

Finally, Mixcloud welcomes Simon Watt, former CTO of Universal Music, to its advisory board.
