On our mobile app, users can filter artist results on the artist country, sub-genre and BPM. After the search button is pressed, matched artist results appear in a randomised order with their most relevant track previews playing first.

By swiping right or tapping the tick icon, a like action is performed and the artist is added to their collection. Alternatively, a swipe left or tap on the cross icon will perform a dislike option and the artist is removed from future searches.

Each of these actions is counted as an impression, which contributes to an artist's daily impression quota.

Currently artists can only add track previews and upcoming events to their profile. The platform does not currently support DJ mixes.

Both listeners and artists can take advantage our platform entirely for free - There is an always free tier for artists, and our mobile app is free to download and use.

For artists wanting to get more out of the platform and improve their profile's performance, there are also various paid tiers available. Scroll to the section above for more information!

Artists are required to complete the setup pages on our artist web app to appear in search results on our mobile app. Simply log in with your existing user account here or register your new account here to get started.

Our platform was built with all track statuses in mind. The 30-second preview feature is useful to tease exclusive/upcoming tracks or promote an existing release.

Artists can select from a list of release statuses to tag their track with: Unreleased, Upcoming Release, Released, and Available to Sign.

For released tracks, artists will be able to add links to the full version on Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Beatport, and Bandcamp. Link taps to these platforms are counted and displayed to artists on their stats page.

We have over 170 searchable electronic sub-genres on our mobile app ranging from progressive breaks to jump-up drum and bass.

Listeners can search up to 10 sub-genres for a given top level genre, or select 'ANY' as the sub-genre to return everything from the top level genre category.

To make the discovery process even more efficient, we have added popular search buttons which include common genre and BPM searches.

Nex Artist puts the focus back on discovering the artist, rather than the track. By making a great first impression to electronic fans, artists can generate more organic followers for their music and content on other social channels.

The mobile app also provides listeners with their own personal feeds of track previews and upcoming events, where they can see all of the latest content from their favourite artists.

Artists can see the direct impact of using our platform by checking our their performance stats, which include a variety of insights about listener interactions with their profile.

As an early stage startup, we truly appreciate the support of artists and listeners in our community. If you want to help us on our journey to build the ultimate electronic music discovery app and champion underground talent, there are a few things that give us a boost:
