Hours Before Radio 🏇🏻 📡 ⏳

Catalog Radio blasts off for the first time today, Jan 30, from 4pm to 6pm ET with “music to launch a radio to" ✰

Featuring incredible, fresh-pressed, permanent 1-of-1 records we can all celebrate in real time with cosigns 🌌

catalog radio is the result of 7+ years tinkering in this space

an immense amount of work went into this release across protocol, product, broadcasting, programming, brand, community, etc

Catalog Radio takes advantage of the energy you can create around shared listening spaces online

if you incentivize direct support for the music in those spaces and make it simple, that energy can be converted into real value for artists

cosigns add a new dimension of support to 1-of-1 records

a high-value medium for music ownership on L1

a price accessible, high distribution support tier on L2

complementary optionality

we believe leaning further into curation is important

despite the perception, there is a lot of incredible music being released onchain

Catalog Radio highlights that

we’ve always valued diverse curatorial perspectives, and that will continue to be embedded into our approach

this is just the next step for us in doing what we've always done — proving alternative paths for enjoying and supporting music online

and bringing us back to the reason we’re all here in the first place: the music

we're excited to build from this new foundation

more soon💥

~3 years after music NFTs began picking up traction, we now have a diverse onchain music library where every song has an artist's wallet address attached

this enables fundamentally new music products

Congrats on the launch! I had a lot of fun tuning in and cosigning a few records yesterday. My biggest request is a mobile app that would allow me to listen to all of my cosigns as a playlist. I had to manually create a private playlist on beta.catalog.works for now, but a native mobile experience would be great.

There's something really satisfying about seeing all the different people who've cosigned a record. I hope artists leverage these connections to create new experiences with their fans.
