Innovative college creative network and streaming platform QUADIO announce their brand new partnership with internationally renowned tastemaker EARMILK (dubbed one of “the best music blogs that aren’t pitchfork”). Together, QUADIO and EARMILK present the official ‘New Music Friday: College Edition’ every Friday at 12pm ET. As the authority in new music discovery and the underground music scene, the partnership launches today in an effort to showcase the hottest talent coming out of colleges and universities nationwide. Co-curated by both teams, the collaboration arrives in the form of a new standout playlist generated by QUADIO complemented by a written ‘Editor’s Picks’ series published by EARMILK featuring the top 5-10 artists from the playlist each week. “We are so excited to partner with Earmilk and take our existing New Music Friday: College Edition playlist to the next level. As a publication and brand on the pulse of what is up and coming, Earmilk’s involvement is a testament to the talent and ability of the Quadio community. We could not be more excited to join forces with Earmilk to continue championing the next generation of artists.” states Joe Welch, Co-Founder and Chief Community Officer of QUADIO.
