23 January 2022 - Spotify Playlist

When you're an artist with music on Spotify, you will want people to find your work. Everybody will tell that the best way to achieve that is to be included on a playlist. That's easier said than done, and especially for a beginning artist, near impossible. While we've had minor success getting some of our songs on playlists, the vast majority of curators so far has denied us the privilege.

First of all, did the placements we have had give us any new listeners? Yes, but barely. We managed to reach eight followers by the end of 2021 (and that had dropped back to seven in January 2022 already), we were hardly getting any daily listeners at all.

However, we have now been included on a playlist that actually does give us daily listeners. This is a major milestone in our career, and for us to see the statistics taking off like that is great to see. You will find all the artists on the playlist are actually not very well-known. But that's what makes it an awesome playlist if you want to discover new music. There's a variety of styles, so there's something for everybody.

But don't take our word for it, listen to it for yourself. Be sure to check out every track on it, like we said, there's a variety of styles, so even if one song isn't for you, others surely will be.

22 January 2022 - Hidden accessibility link added to our website

As of today, you can use a hidden link to skip past the navigation on every page. Simply press the [Tab] button on your keyboard to activate the link, then press [Enter] to go straight to the main content.

Although there isn't much in terms of navigation to skip past anyway, we didn't really think having this hidden link would be necessary, but then we realised it doesn't make a difference to any visitor who doesn't use it, but it might make visiting the site easier for those that do use it, so we've implemented it anyway.

If there's anything else we can do to make the website more accessible, don't hesitate to Contact us, and we'll look into implementing your suggestions.
