Today is a special day for us and we’re so thrilled to finally be able to share with you what we’ve been working on for a while:
Next SoundCloud, meet the Community. Community, meet Next SoundCloud, the next phase of our mission to unmute the web.
Since 2008, we’ve been focused on building the best social sound platform on the web. Today, SoundCloud has grown to over 15 million with more interests and needs of SoundCloud. With Next, we are taking a first step to reflect this. What you can expect from Next:
