If you’ve been searching for musicians who share your passion for breakcore, drum and bass, jungle, or other less mainstream genres on platforms like BandLab, it can be frustrating to feel like you’re swimming in a sea of rap and trap music. While these genres dominate many online music communities, there are ways to find like-minded musicians who are creating the kind of music you love.
Here’s a guide to help you navigate these platforms, connect with musicians who share your tastes, and build a community around the genres you’re passionate about.
Before diving into strategies for finding your niche, it’s important to acknowledge why genres like rap and trap are so prevalent on platforms like BandLab and in many online music communities.
Even though the broader music platforms may be saturated with certain genres, there are plenty of communities and forums dedicated to niche genres like breakcore, drum and bass, and jungle. These communities are often smaller but more passionate and focused on the music you love.
If you’re sticking to broader platforms like BandLab, you’ll need to be more strategic with your searches to find the music and collaborators you’re looking for.
Social media can be a powerful tool for finding and connecting with artists in your preferred genres. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube often have active communities around niche genres, where you can discover new music and network with other musicians.
While it’s natural to want to work within your preferred genre, sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to exciting collaborations. Consider working with artists from different genres and blending your styles to create something unique.
If you’re struggling to find a community that shares your musical interests, consider starting your own. By creating a space for musicians who love breakcore, drum and bass, or jungle, you can attract like-minded individuals and build a supportive community around your genre.
While it can be frustrating to feel like your preferred genres are overshadowed by more popular ones, remember that there are plenty of musicians out there who share your passion for breakcore, drum and bass, jungle, and other niche genres. By being strategic in your search, engaging with genre-specific communities, and building connections, you’ll find your tribe and create the music you love with like-minded individuals.
Don’t be discouraged—keep exploring, reaching out, and creating. The right collaborators are out there, and with persistence, you’ll find them.
