Music service that is not boring.

Spotify is basically boringfi. Plays the “safest” music possible and puts me to sleep. Want music service that will actually just play new and exciting shite. Love Alexa when ZERO accounts are connected. Is there an FOSS or other alternative that’s actually plays you new shite?
More info: mostly listen EDM. Don’t want to ever hear a song I’ve heard before.

Give iheart radio a try. Sort by genre and find what you're looking for. Once you find some artists you like you can create a station around that with apple music or whatever your favorite streaming service is.

Amazing how many of these music services are turning into Pandora where the least common denominator most favorable royalty shite is shoved into our ears constantly.
There is no cure except getting access to a curated music torrent site where actual non-corporate control doesn't rule the algorithm and something like plexamp can be used to source deep tracks in quality and new material instead of being fed what seems like the same 15 songs you've heard a zillion times. Users generate collections based on all manner of criteria such as top 500 jazz works of all time or everything from a given label.. It can be anything that ties some type of collection together and you end up hearing things you never knew existed.
Bootleg 4CD Esper edition Blade Runner soundtrack? No problem.
4CD extended edition of Tears for Fears Songs From the Big Chair with rare versions and demos of all the tracks? Yup here you go.
I hate what streaming music has become.
ETA I liken these services to a bicycle with a flat tire. Can you make the bike go aka find a particular album you've never heard and play it? Yes. Does it keep going after you stop pedalling aka continue to find new and exciting music? NO. It's literally designed to NOT do that.

I’ll give that a try. I actually built a music arr stack but never used it or figured out how to.
I had a good thing going with Alexa with no accounts attached then somehow the wife’s Spotify got attached unknowingly and I’d keep herring the same 20-30 songs again but it was only on Friday nights when alcohol was involved and it took forever to figure out.

I pay 10.99/month for Apple Music. You can make your own playlist or let Apple Music suggest a playlist. I have about 450 songs on my playlist so that is what I usually listen to.

Heh I still roll with SiriusXm.
I like the indie rock channel, 35. Plays about 50/50 older/new. Been using the same DJs for the past 10+ yrs.

WFMU out of jersey city. once you figure out the shows/djs that play the music you like you can get lost forever in the archives.
