Spotify, Resident Advisor Dance on Event Discovery Partnership

“The vitality of local scenes is essential for the sustainability and creativity of the global electronic music community," comments Nick Sabine, cofounder of Resident Advisor. "Our collaboration with Spotify is a brilliant evolution of the work we have been doing for almost two decades to support the work of the independent artists, venues and promoters which act as the pillars of those scenes.” 

Launched in 2001, the Resident Advisor online music magazine and community platform specializes in the worlds of electronic and dance music. Its audience includes DJs, producers, venue owners, promoters, record labels and, naturally, consumers.

Spotify, the music streaming leader, recently reported a fourth-quarter operating loss, but said its user base grew to 124 million paid subscribers and 271 total monthly active users at the close of 2019.
