I definitely don't think you are wrong but in practical purposes, "curated" doesn't mean what it used to and I think we can all suffer less when we accept that. It's probably one of the prices society pays for the internet and doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Ooo, neat. I've enjoyed several of their songs, but didn't know they had a show.
I spend most of my time listening to the "Vocal Trance" and "Epic Trance" channels on DI.fm, and specifically enjoy several shows that run on there: Mellomania Vocal Trance Anthems with Pedro del Mar, Vocal Vibes by Richiere, More than Words by Ciacomix, and Uplifting Only with Ori Uplift.
Created a collab spotify playlist to track these, in case OP didn't. I'll hold off on adding more, just to see if it's something people would be interested in.
- A playlist of music that I've heard performed at Stanford's Memorial Church or Bing Concert Hall.
In all of the above cases, I filter out virtually all of the tracks which have vocals. Unfortunately, that means my favorite band (They Might Be Giants) aren't on the list.
a while back in another thread one of the guys involved with brain.fm gave a discount to HN, I gave it a go, it's pretty good ( no idea whether the theory behind it all works or not, but it's good zoning music for coding)
I have a massive list I've built up over time of electronica/trance/rave type music I use for coding on spotify. If you look for coding music on spotify there's a number of lists that are similar.
