SOUNDCLOUD JUST FED YOUR SONGS TO THE BOTS Congrats, your mixtape might now be training a robot—because SoundCloud changed its rules without making a big deal about it. Unless you're signed to a major label, the platform can now use your uploads to power its AI, with no clear opt-out in the settings. They swear it’s just for stuff like better playlists and stopping scammers—not making robot rappers. Still, artists aren’t loving the idea that their tracks are now AI snacks. Source: TechCrunch

Good morning from the Catquarter in Berlin. We'll have a short period of reduced online presence—behind the scenes, we're busy preparing our upcoming release: Love in 16 Bit. The new EP and several mixes will drop on 31st March 2025, with new AI music videos following regularly after. Spotify listeners recently climbed back above 10k monthly, and it's great to see seven recent tracks already among our most-played releases from the past few weeks. We're also about to cross 400k streams on Spotify alone in the next few days. Soundcloud numbers are looking good too—over 10k streams on our latest tracks. Our promotional efforts are focused solely on Spotify, so seeing our tracks gain momentum on Soundcloud just by uploading them and letting the algorithm do its thing is especially cool. Steady progress across the board. Thanks to everyone supporting our journey! 🐈‍⬛🎧
