Mixcloud launches original track upload feature for artists

Mixcloud has launched a new original upload feature for artists.

The long-form streaming platform, which provides content including radio shows, podcasts, live streaming and DJ mixes, rolled out the new feature – called Tracks – on 7th October.

For the first time, it allows individual artists and creators to upload short-form, original audio to Mixcloud, which the platform says “means getting more of their music in the right place”.

As well as rivalling Soundcloud’s current dominance in the short-form field, the move makes Mixcloud the first and only platform to support live streaming, short-form tracks, and long-form audio.

Users can avail of a beta version of Tracks via Mixcloud’s website. As well as offering a way to get private feedback early on track uploads, the pro version allows for unlimited track uploads, as well as live streaming, HQ audio, monetization options, engagement stats and more.
