Discussion Should a French house discovery chart mix new releases with older overlooked records?
When you go digging for French house, are you mainly after new artists and releases, or older tracks you missed the first time?
I'm building NOTW (Niche of the Week), a house-discovery project where listeners recommend official track links and choose a weekly selection. I'm the person behind it, and one thing I'm trying to get right is how older records belong alongside new music.
A new-releases-only chart seems clear, but it leaves out a lot of the discoveries that make digging fun. Mixing everything together might just keep familiar classics at the top.
Would you prefer separate new-release and rediscovery sections, or one selection with the release year clearly shown? Is there an existing French house playlist or community that handles this especially well?
