Radisson - Lokale I
The Nordic Playlist aims to promote Nordic artists through the power of artist recommendation and curation. In light of this launch, a panel of experts will discuss the value of curated content and playlists with regards to the marketing and distribution of music, automated playlists vs. the human touch and the question: are streaming services the new blogs/radio stations as musical tastemakers?
