Mixest wants to bring you indie music you’ve never heard before:

It’s a super simple music discovery service that intentionally has very few things for you to adjust. As soon as you hit the site, music starts playing. If you’ve heard it before, click the More Obscure button to make sure you never hear it again. If you like something, click the heart so can find them again later. That’s it — the only goal of the site is to help you find new music, so it doesn’t need much more.

The developers called it an “ironic indie Pandora,” but there’s more to it than that. Mixest is perfect if you enjoy complete serendipity in your music selection. The music is good quality, and from bands I’ve never heard of — I guess that makes it indie — but it’s the lack of complexity that makes it work for me.

Mixest makes for good background music without making you feel picky about where to start, loads instantly, and works on the iPhone and iPad without installing an app. It’s not without its rough edges, but it’s off to a good start.  Let’s wish them luck.
