As much as we dislike the algorithm, our way of honouring real human discovery is by giving you our weekly curated playlist, selected by the Channel Alt team (of humans).
From alternative R&B, hip-hop, indie, electronic music and sounds that don’t fit neatly into one genre. For us, if it fits, it fits.
So, discover new music with the Alternative Artist playlist, featuring new names, independent releases and forward-thinking sounds from the UK and beyond. We don’t care about streams. Our main goal is to provide a platform whether you’re starting out or established.

Updated every Monday.
Your weekly music discovery destination.
It’s more than a simple playlist. Channel Alt champions artists carving the future of alternative music. So we have created your weekly playlist as another way of discovering new names and new sounds. So what better place to support independent artists.
Whether you’ve discovered us through our live events, releases or social media, this is hub space to find something new.
New music added every Monday.
Follow the playlist on Spotify to stay connected with our latest selections.
