Streaming executives from SoundCloud, Audiomack, and Tuned Global say the future of music platforms lies in community, local scenes, and giving fans meaningful ways to participate, create, and shape what comes next.

During a panel at the 2025 Music Tectonics conference in Santa Monica, music and technology leaders at Tuned Global (Andrew Stess), Endel (Marina Guz) and Bluesound Professional (Graeme Harrison) discuss the intersection of art, tech, wellness and music.

Tuned Global Managing Director and Co-Founder Con Raso reconnected with NxtNow Music for an in-depth interview to discuss one of the music industry’s most timely topics: Streaming Service Manipulation Detection (SMD).

Tuned Global, the leading music cloud platform, is pleased to announce the introduction of a streaming Service Manipulation Detection (SMD) solution as a new, dedicated offering for rights holders and streaming service clients.
