Free to start: up to 3 living playlists, each watching its 10 strongest artists once a week, plus 90 days of Fresh Finds from your top 10 artists. Lifetime is $49 once, no subscription: every artist in up to 100 playlists, checked daily, and the taste-matched modes.

Do I have to follow the artists?

No. brew reads the artists in the playlists you pick, so the ones you never got around to following are covered too.

Will brew change my playlists?

In Unroasted mode, new releases go to a separate playlist, so the one you made stays as it is. The taste-matched modes add tracks to the playlist itself - you choose the mode per playlist.

Does it replace Release Radar?

It works next to it. Release Radar stays in your Spotify; brew adds its own playlists there.

A Release Radar alternative

Release Radar gives you one song per artist. Get all of them.

brew watches the artists already in your playlists - not just the ones you remembered to follow - and puts their new music into Spotify for you: every single, remix and B-side, in a playlist of its own. Or have it add only the tracks that fit.

Works with the playlists you already have. Free to start.

In the last 30 days brew tracked 16,274 new releases from 11,384 artists in its listeners’ playlists.

Built from your playlists, not your follows

Release Radar leans on who you follow and what you’ve played lately. brew starts from the playlists you choose: every artist in them is watched, including the ones you never got around to following.

All of it, or only what fits

Unroasted collects every new release from a playlist’s artists into a playlist of its own - a release tracker you dig through, and the playlist you made stays exactly as it was. With lifetime, the taste-matched modes compare each new track with your playlist’s sound and add only the ones that belong.
