For a long time Soulseek (p2p platform similar to early napster) by bulk-downloading artists releases which released on labels labels i know. Then look for other artists on the label, or another label an artist releases on and repeat the process.

This turns out this was very effective to not stay in a style or comfort zone bubble. Nowadays I collect vinyl and find new stuff via bargain bin deals and on flea markets. That said, this approaches are probably better suited for people who are not fixated on particular styles.

Discogs.com is a great resource to look around and find new stuff on label level. I'm not affilatednwith them, but use their service for over a decade for the database, and more recently to buy some vinyl I couldn't find locally.
