In a space overflowing with new music releases, I've been able to pull together another exciting round of music recommendations for Invest in Music’s (@invinmusic) Onchain Curator Season 1. My mission? To unearth the gems hidden within the vast realm of onchain music, regardless of genre.

As a curator, I take pride in my discerning ear, particularly when it comes to electronic/bass-heavy tracks, rock in its myriad forms, and a healthy dose of hip-hop. That being said, this season, I've decided to take a different approach to my music discovery process. I've challenged myself to set aside my all of musical biases and delve deep into songs that don't typically fall within my preferred genres. We all have our musical preferences; it's what makes us unique. However, my primary focus at the moment is to highlight exceptionally talented artists who are creating remarkable music and distributing it on the blockchain. I'm here to seek out and promote HIGH-QUALITY MUSIC. After all, isn't the joy of music exploration all about embracing diversity and discovering the unexpected?

In the weeks to come, I plan to use some of these newly discovered tracks to curate some more Arella-centric compilations that will showcase sonically cohesive journeys of my own design. These future playlists will provide a window into my evolving musical preferences, shaped by the vast array of onchain music I've been immersing myself in.

For now, you can enjoy my master playlist or simply scroll through the list below to join me on this exciting musical journey as I uncover the latest and greatest tracks. Be sure to stay tuned for an immersive voyage into the vibrant and boundless world of onchain music, where the pursuit of quality knows no limits. Together, we'll celebrate the artistry and creativity of musicians who are leaving a significant mark in this digital landscape!
