We are 10!

Written by

in

tenyears

That’s right, some of you have been finding new music with Hype Machine for 10 years. Thanks for listening, and for being so curious.

I also can’t thank enough the people who have built Hype Machine with me over the past ten years–their creativity, commitment and patience are outstanding.

There is a lot to say about this much time but one thing stands out: there has never been a better time to be a music listener, and yet it is still difficult to playfully connect with new things. Finding what to listen to is as hard as ever, and that means we need to get back to work.

Stay tuned.

PS. In the meantime, enjoy the Norton Commander CGA color remix of the site.

    The look would be vastly improved by having the functionality of the previous layout. What’s up with the missing info? Like the links to the blogs? When the song was posted?

    I’m hoping you guys read all these…

    I just want to say I’ve been using HypeMachine for about 5+ years (I’m 20 years old), and this website kicks ass. Love being ahead of the game in finding new music, and you’ve done a great job of permitting tailored music selection with all the nifty extensions.

    One thing I would like is just a general break-down of most popular songs by year. Rather than the zeitgeist, you should just have a list of 100+ most liked songs. With the weekly updates, sometimes a good song will fly right by me.

    Alright, bye. This is like my first comment on any general website besides Facebook.

    Respect and appreciation to the entire Hype Machine team for everything you guys have done these past 10 years!! Nothing saves me more time, or is a greater resource to me in all those moments when I want bust out some great music. However, I agree with the many others above..

    The blue 8 bit thing is cool when I’m just playing music casually, but when its time for serious listening, it really takes away from the functionality of the clean, easy to read design. I miss the “heard on…” and several other features that displayed useful information.

    I’m assuming its a temporary change, but even so, WTB an option to swap between them. I think most of your more serious listeners would agree!

    Thanks again for all you do!

    Thanks for producing and maintaining this website. (+Props for the old school interface ^^)

    During the last ~10 years several editorial powered aggregators popped up just to lose relevance 1-4 years later (at least for me)…

    … but… I still use Hype Machine once or twice a week when I’m in the mood to discover something new or sit together with friends that also enjoy the random-zeigeist like approach of music aggregation.

    I said thx once by ordering the Hypem.com shirt.
    Have you some donation/merch like thing planned for this anniversary?

    A post about the business model behind Hype Machine would be great too. Is everything paid by those referral links @ Amazon or is there another path working?

    Anyway… I wish you all the best. Hopefully the site will be around for the next 10 years!
