Monstercat releases 3 new tracks per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. After certain amount of releases - currently 30 - Monstercat puts all of them into a compilation album; however some do not go in the album because they are either a promotional release for something else or because the artist has released more than two tracks within the time frame.

I love Monstercat so much. <3
