Music blogs like Gorilla vs. Bear, Fader, Nah Right and Stereogum post dozens of new songs, mixtapes and albums every day, making them reliable sources for fresh sounds. But those sites number in the hundreds, making it hard to stay on top of them all. The Hype Machine is a Web site and iPhone app that aggregates any song posted to a number of music blogs and streams them in a single place.
The Hype Machine is ideal for listeners who like radio remixes, covers and mash-ups and other B-side materials that rarely see the light of day. Imagine your favorite underground radio station playing only the newest jams, on an endless loop. You can also explore by genre, or use “latest” and “popular” tabs to sort through the songs. There’s also a “spy” tab to see what other Hype Machine users are listening to in real time.
