Mixcloud is a British streaming service where you can listen to and distribute different playlists, podcasts, DJ mixes and radio shows. 


Some facts about Mixcloud include: 


  • Mixcloud was founded in 2008 by Nikhil Shah & Nico Perez, who met at the University of Cambridge
  • Mixcloud offers crowdsourcing for radio shows and podcasts 
  • Mixcloud has mobile apps available on both iOS and Android devices
  • Mixcloud notable users include Wired, Harvard Business School, TED Talks, and Barack Obama


Mixcloud is an interesting streaming service as it doesn’t focus directly on single or album releases; Mixcloud lets users listen to full length DJ mixes and shows that their curators arrange.


In December 2018, Mixcloud added a new subscription plan called “fan-to-creator”. Through this subscription package, the user can support a favorite artist directly and help contribute to the licensing costs of the music played in their shows.


During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mixcloud has become a hub for many DJs and artists wanting to share live sets and mixes with a broader audience. As live performances are halted due to social distance regulations, Mixcloud gives artists and DJs an opportunity to share licensed mixes with their fans.
