Discover, hype & favorites
Public surfaces for exploring artists, orgs and venues on a map or grid; a weekly hype chart of downloadable tracks ranked by downloads; and a per-user favorites bar for quick access to any app route.
What it is
Discover is a public directory where anyone — logged in or not — can browse artists, music professionals, labels, studios, and venues on Aden. You can search by name, filter by genre, country, or entity type, and switch between a card grid and an interactive map.
Hype is a weekly chart of released tracks available for free download. Tracks are ranked by how many times they were downloaded during the current ISO week. Only tracks from teams with an active paid plan and with downloads explicitly enabled appear in the chart. You can filter by genre and browse previous weeks.
Favorites is a personal shortcut bar inside the app. Any page in the app can be bookmarked as a favorite — it then appears in the sidebar for one-click access.
Watchers let you subscribe to a specific milestone or to-do so you get notified when it changes.
Using it
Browsing discover
Open /discover without logging in. Use the search box to find a name, or
apply the Type, Genre, and Country filters to narrow results.
Toggle between Grid and Map views with the buttons in the top bar.
The map view places teams and people on the globe geocoded from their city and country. Venues with exact coordinates (latitude/longitude stored) appear at their precise location.
To view a specific category only, click the Teams, People, or Orgs filter chip — the grid mixes all three kinds by default using round-robin interleaving.
Browsing hype
Open /hype. The chart shows the top released tracks for the current ISO week,
sorted by download count. Click a genre badge to filter to that genre
(/hype/[genre]). Use the week navigation to look at previous weeks.
Download a track directly from the card if the artist has provided a download
link.
Adding and removing favorites
Inside the app, navigate to any page you want to bookmark and click the star icon (or the "Add to favorites" option in the sidebar). The page is pinned to your favorites bar immediately.
To remove it, click the star again or use the "Remove from favorites" option. You can also clear all favorites at once from your settings.
Contracts & signatures
Create, send, and collect legally-binding e-signatures on collaboration contracts, organisation agreements, and event bookings — using reusable templates with merge-field interpolation.
Events, tours & writers camps
Org- and team-level event management with tours, lineup bookings, waitlists, writers camp signups, and Bandsintown import.
