About

Bio and how they support artists

Hi, I’m Daniel (a.k.a. @menasaurio) — music curator, content creator, and founder of New Sound Society, a distribution label supporting emerging artists worldwide. I curate playlists focused on moods, not strict genres. That means I look for songs that truly feel like something — whether it’s nostalgic, sexy, cinematic, or just plain vibey. Genres I regularly include across my playlists: RnB / Soul Hip-Hop / Rap / Trap Jazz / Bossa Nova Lo-Fi / Chillhop Pop / Indie Pop / Indie Folk Classic Rock K-Pop / Japanese Indie French Pop / Latin Indie 🎧 A few key playlists I run: “Fumas? Fumar qué?” – Indietronica vibes and unexpected drops. “Me acompañas a ver mi cargador?” – Sexy RnB and fusion, made to feel intimate. “Indie vibes by menasaurio” – My personal take on indie. “Indie básico en Español” – A starter pack for Spanish indie artists. “Mi vida es una serie” – Like your life had a soundtrack. “Top Tier Tracks” – RnB, rap, and hip-hop songs everyone should know. “Ur vibes are safe with me” – Chill, safe space for various genres. I’m open to all genres as long as the song has a clear identity, solid structure, and a defined vocal presence. (Less vocal effects are usually better — unless it’s part of the concept.) I also run New Sound Society, a distribution and artist development label. We offer fair revenue splits and playlist support for selected artists. If we vibe with your sound, there might be a chance to go further with us beyond playlists.
