Bebop is a platform that distributes indie music by connecting people. We aim to find more diehard fans for indie musicians and provide a more friendly and exciting way for audiences to access and explore different music.

We held a participatory workshop and conducted an experiment with musicians and music fans. Something magical happened... In our Secret Santa playlist experiment, we invited 34 music fans to create anonymous profiles (including their music preferences, hobbies and what kind of music they want to explore) and asked them to choose someone from these profiles to create a playlist for. 18 participants curated playlists for others, 19 participants received playlists from other music fans and 15 liked the playlists they received.Participants told us, "This playlist opens up another universe of music for me. Better than any algorithm.” The independent band Qianchuan Drugstore who participate in this experiment as one of the Secret Santas also gained four passionate new fans. "I'm glad that they like the playlists. I'd love to create more if they want!" Qianchuan Drugstore said. We realised music sharing between people can be a fantastic way to lower the threshold to exploring, and it brings magical change to the experience of listening to music. And so Bebop was born!
BEBOP is a platform. It distributes indie music based on social connections.There are four main features: curate, explore, connect and discover.In the Bebop universe, everyone is the DJ. Curate your favorite songs into mixtape capsules to let others explore your taste of music.On the explore page, you can see lots of planets floating by, all capsules that other users create. Catch them before they float away!You can tap the 'high five' button to send other users invitations to become songmates or curate a mixtape for them directly.Finally, the gashapon machine is designed for musicians to curate capsules for fans. Users can draw out a limited-edition capsule curated by qualified indie musicians to discover new artists every day!
