Black Bandcamp: Crowd Sourced and Volunteer Run Music Discovery Tool
Bandcamp and we’re currently really excited about this new site and resource called Black Bandcamp, which has done an amazing job of crowd sourcing and centralizing listings and information on Black artists and producers as well as Black owned record labels who have a presence on Bandcamp. This excellent music discovery tool also allows you to filter your results by genre and geographic area. Visit here – https://www.blackbandcamp.info.
They summarize it as such:
“A crowd-sourced list of Black artists on Bandcamp:This site aims to provide an easy way to filter and sort the 2000+ Black Producers / Artists / Labels for Bandcamp Day spreadsheet. The goal of the sheet is to support Black artists, producers and labels through their Bandcamp links. The data is a work-in-progress (non-exhaustive) and administered by a group of volunteers…”
Here’s some of the great stuff we’ve found on Black Bandcamp over the last couple of weeks:
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
