Music isn’t just something we listen to—it’s the pulse of our lives. It scores our daily routines, our biggest celebrations, and the quiet moments in between. But beyond the hits and chart-toppers, there’s a world of artists pushing boundaries, redefining sound, and shaping what’s next. That’s where Spotify’s latest playlist, Proto-, comes in. A space designed for the avant-garde, Proto- is a hand-curated collection of forward-thinking music that refuses to be boxed into a single genre. It’s for the visionaries, the innovators, and the artists shifting the artistic current—because the future of music isn’t just something you hear; it’s something you feel.
To mark the launch, Montreal’s own Marie Davidson takes the cover, setting the tone for what Proto- is all about. Alongside her, artists like Saya Gray and Oklou bring their distinctive sounds to the mix, proving that sonic experimentation knows no borders. Whether you’re looking for your next favorite deep cut or just want to immerse yourself in the sounds of tomorrow, Proto- is your new go-to. The best part? The playlist is constantly evolving, just like the artists it showcases. Hit play and step into the future of music today.
