Release Radar resets every Friday. Miss a week and it is gone.
Spotify rebuilds that playlist once a week and the last one is replaced. Anything you did not get to is not waiting for you next Friday - it is just gone. One capped playlist, one shot at it, and it leans on the artists you remembered to follow.
Keeping a follow list current is its own chore, and checking every Friday is another one. Nobody does either for long, which is how you end up finding out ten months late that a favorite put out an album.
Brew turns the artists already in your playlists into a release watchlist. Free starts with the 10 strongest artists in each source playlist. Lifetime checks every artist in the source playlist every day.
A little less work. A lot more music.
The artists are already in your playlists. Let their new music come to you.
01 / Keep up
Follow a playlist’s artists.
Turn a playlist you’ve spent years collecting into a release tracker. Free Unroasted watches its 10 most represented artists and gathers their releases in a separate Spotify playlist.
Go lifetime: watch every artist in the source playlist, checked every day.
02 / Keep the feeling
A good playlist can keep growing.
Lifetime unlocks Signature Blend and Drip, which can add matching tracks to the source playlist itself while helping preserve its character.
Good taste finds good company. Brew.fm finds other listeners’ playlists that share tracks with yours, then looks for music they’ve saved that you haven’t discovered yet. Shared taste, followed somewhere new.
A lot goes into one good find
The digging is automatic. The taste is yours.
Brew.fm looks beyond an artist’s name. AI compares the sound of a track with the music already in your playlist, helping a new addition feel like it belongs.
How it works · illustration
With taste matching: look for tracks that fit. Leave the detours out.
01 / Follow the releases
A whole playlist’s worth of artists.
Brew.fm checks the artists represented in your playlist for new releases. Singles, EPs and albums, gathered without the manual search.
02 / Find the connections
Other listeners. Shared taste.
For broader discoveries, shared tracks point us to other listeners’ playlists. Audio matching helps us find what fits from there.
03 / Choose what gets in
Keep the vibe. Or hear it all.
Choose taste-matched updates to help filter out stylistic detours—even from a favorite artist. Prefer every release? Use a separate, unfiltered release tracker.
A favorite put out an album and nobody told you. No notification, no Friday playlist that still had it. Brew turns the artists you care about into an ongoing release watchlist instead of making you remember to check.
You DJ, and you need all of it.
Every single, every remix, every B-side from the artists you track - not a taste-matched shortlist. Unroasted collects the releases into their own playlist so you can dig through them.
You have one playlist that matters.
The gym set, the focus hours, the one you put on when people come over. Brew can follow the artists in that specific playlist and keep a separate stream of their new releases moving.
You went quiet for a year.
New job, new baby, busy stretch - and the music kept coming out without you. Brew starts from the artists your library already knows and fills the gap, a few tracks at a time, instead of handing you a backlog.
Start with something made for you
Your first playlist? Already taken care of.
Sign in with Spotify. Meet your Fresh Finds.
Brew.fm uses your listening taste to create a private playlist with up to 20 tracks. Over your first five daily updates, we look for another track that belongs there.
Free Fresh Finds watches your top 10 artists. Weekly finds continue through the 90-day preview; lifetime expands the watchlist to up to 1,000 artists and checks it every day.
In good company
Less searching. More “how did I miss this?”
A few words from people who found their way to Brew.fm.
this is awesome! I immediately found new releases from some of my favorite bands that I didn't even know about!
Gonna bless y’all with infinite new music. Found this site (brew.fm) that scrapes all your artists off a Spotify playlist then makes a new playlist of all their new releases. Release radar who??
Fresh Finds is a separate, private playlist. A free living playlist uses Unroasted, so releases collect in their own Spotify playlist instead of changing your source. Lifetime also unlocks modes that can add matching tracks to the source itself.
Do I need to follow every artist on Spotify?
No. For release tracking, Brew.fm reads the artists represented in your source playlist. Free watches its strongest 10; lifetime watches every artist in that source playlist.
Does a new track arrive every day?
We check for a match on each scheduled update. If there isn’t a good pick, we skip the addition. Fresh Finds adds up to one track per update; Unroasted release-tracker playlists collect releases from their watched source artists.
What happens when the free preview ends?
Your Fresh Finds playlist stays in Spotify with the music already added. Automatic Fresh Finds updates stop after the 90-day preview. Free source-playlist trackers can still run weekly in Unroasted mode; lifetime expands them and Fresh Finds to daily coverage.
A note from Bart, founder
Built for the music you’d otherwise miss.
I used to spend hours looking for new releases and still miss music from artists I cared about. Work got busy. Keeping up became work, too.
That’s why I built Brew.fm: to take care of the checking, so there’s something worth listening to when you come back.
