LOL! Same shoe; I cannot escape the piano and other instrumentals I played during my wife's pregnancy months. I'm almost at a point of surrender that maybe my time with Deep House and Electronic music has reached an end. The Discovery Weekly was my only way of finding hot indie talent in the electronics world.

Have you tried Bandcamp?

Bandcamp is just fantastic in general, seconded.

Soundcloud is still the place for finding EDM in general. The community sure has slowed down, especially with spotify being such a huge force in the music world, but I still find tons of great content there.

Bonus, you don't have the same recommendation issues that spotify has (I'm in the same boat with non-sensical recommendations, or the same tired songs getting recommended over and over again).

Soundcloud's mobile app has chronic issues. The full screen UI for playing music is beautiful, but the complete lack of discovery, or neglected sorting on an artist's profile is just ridiculous.

I will never subscribe even the paid experience is better.

There’s 6 more ‘playlist for you’ things now with music/artists that you’ve listened to over different genres, maybe those can help?
