Hitlantis Music Discovery Service
Posted Dec 9, 03:00 PM by
Hitlantis is a new music discovery service with a bubbly and creative interface from Finland. With Hitlantis, finding new tracks and artists to listen to is more intuitive and organic than random searching.
First time visitors to the site are greeted with a large cloud of colored bubbles corresponding to various artists and genres — at the time of writing, rock is the predominant genre. Clicking on one of these bubbles zooms the user in and provides myriad more options for listening and purchasing individual tracks. There is a time limit on the initial visit, after which registration is required. Luckily, registration is painless, as you can sign in using your Facebook account should you so desire.
There are also options for bands to register and promote their music through the site. In fact, that’s half the point! The entire service is centered around growing exposure for unsigned bands! In short, Hitlantis, with its tagline of “Who’s next?” is a treasure trove of acts just waiting to rise to stardom.
For more information including commentary from the service’s creator, Timo Poijärvi, check out Wired Magazine’s article: Hitlantis Rethinks Music Discovery With ‘Sea of Bubbles’ .
