My personal go-to for solo discovery online (ie not counting chatting) is the reverse directory lookup in soundcloud: the "in playlists" link (also $TRACK_URL/sets) which lists all the playlists some track appears in. There usually isn't too many and you can quickly navigate towards niche stuff that some random human deemed somehow related.

I believe Spotify's discovery algorithms have factored in other user's playlists when trying to find songs associated to other songs -- that's why (in my experience, anyway) it has been better than the usual recommendation engines.
