Focus on DJ sets, remixes, hip-hop/electronica producers like others have said. Don't try to be Spotify.

I second this, the mixes are my favorite part as well as DIY producers.

I would say focus on sets over tracks, and develop partnerships to stream exclusive live concert sets- would be really easy to scale if they focused on electronic first as those sets are easy to record/stream.

Mixcloud has that area covered and I hope they become a much more popular with the recent Soundcloud drama.
