Spotify has introduced a new feature called Niche Mixes to help users discover hyper-specific playlists tailored to their musical tastes. These mixes blend your favorite songs and artists with similar tracks to create a listening experience curated just for you.
What Are Niche Mixes?
Niche Mixes go beyond your typical personalized playlists on Spotify. They dive deep into your listening history to identify obscure patterns in your music tastes. Spotify then uses this data to generate mixes as unique as “Sleepy Indie Folk” or “Chill Step Study Beats.”
The key is in the name. A “niche” refers to something highly specialized or targeted to a particular audience. Spotify aims to pinpoint the most granular music categories you’re into and serve up the perfect niche mix to match.
How to Find Your Niche Mixes?
Your personalized Niche Mixes are easy to access on both mobile and desktop.
On mobile
- Open the Spotify app and tap “Search”
- Scroll down and tap “Made For You”
- Scroll through the different playlists until you see “Your Niche Mixes”

You can also search for a specific mood or genre followed by “mix” to generate more options.
On desktop
- Recently played Niche Mixes will show up on the Home page under “Recently Played.”

Unique Features
Niche Mixes stand out for their unusual and highly targeted themes. You may find mixes like:
