Ryzoid
Ryzoid
Underground, on air
Ryzoid is a set of always-on music video channels, full of artists you haven't heard yet. Each channel is built around a mood and plays live, like a TV station: everyone tuned in sees the same video at the same time.
The name comes from rhizoid, the root-like structure that moves water upward through a plant. That's the idea: Ryzoid lifts artists up, giving them a place to be seen and heard. With more and more AI-generated music flooding every platform, Ryzoid tries to be a counterweight to the noise: every video here is made by real musicians and submitted by the artist behind it.
Pick a channel that fits your mood and let it run. There's no skip button, and nothing learns your taste, so you'll hear music you'd never have picked yourself. Can't choose? Main Stage mixes all the channels.
Music videos by artists you probably haven't heard of yet, each one hand-picked and watched in full before it goes on air. While a video plays, you see who made it, with links to their music. Like the video, favorite the artist, or share their page with a friend.
Nothing. Watching is free and you don't need an account. A free account only comes in when you want to like videos or keep track of your favorite artists.
Create an artist profile and submit your music video to the channel that fits it best. I watch every video in full, and you'll hear from me within 7 days. If it's a fit, it joins that channel's rotation and stays on air until it passes 5,000 views on YouTube.
Airtime in front of people who chose to tune in, next to other artists who made something real. Viewers see your name and links while your video plays, and you get an artist page with your bio, photos, releases and links. I can't promise how often your video plays, because that depends on how many people tune in.
€5 per submission, paid with one credit. Not a fit? Your credit comes back. There are no subscriptions: you pay once, for one clear thing, and credits don't expire.
Hey, I'm Yoeran, a drummer and producer, and the person running Ryzoid. I started it because I miss stumbling onto music, the way you could on the old MTV, or on the online radio station I ran as a teenager. I watch every video myself.
