We’re excited to announce a big face lift for Mixcloud.com going live today. We are celebrating the site’s 3rd birthday this week, and the product team has been hard a work over the summer to enhance the user experience and layout design.

The focus has been on updating the look and feel of the platform, and making all the pages consistent. This style refresh is also a consolidation move, allowing us to lay the ground work for fast release cycles and a more unified experience going forward on both the main site and mobile apps.
