Who we are
CrateMate was founded by a collective of producers, performers, and record store clerks who all saw the same thing: people crave real connection in music discovery—and the industry doesn’t make that easy.
Streaming algorithms can’t replace the magic of a well-timed recommendation from someone who gets your sound. So we built CrateMate: a platform that pairs listeners with real human curators—people with deep taste, sharp ears, and a love for sharing music.
We aim to foster joy of discovery—one personal recommendation at a time.
Who we serve
For curators, CrateMate is a remote-friendly, alternative way to make money doing what you already love: digging, listening, and connecting. Think of it as the digital version of chatting with your in-store regulars.
For those on the hunt for their next favorite track, working with CrateMate saves you the time and effort of sifting through Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Instead, you get music handpicked for your taste, by someone who lives and breathes this stuff.
Welcome to your digital record store counter. We’re glad you’re here.
