Promo submissions

After you submit the form and complete the secure payment, Dirty Disco receives your release details. Your music is checked for editorial and musical fit. If accepted, your release can receive an editorial review on the Dirty Disco website and may also be featured in the weekly Dirty Disco podcast.

No. Dirty Disco Radio only accepts music that fits the sound, audience and editorial direction of the platform. If your release does not fit, the submission may be declined and the fee refunded.

If your release fits the Dirty Disco sound, we can create an editorial music review for the Dirty Disco website. The review is written to give listeners context around the artist, release, label, genre, production, mood and story behind the music.

Accepted submissions can be featured and played in the weekly Dirty Disco podcast when the music fits the programming, episode flow and overall Dirty Disco sound. Podcast inclusion depends on editorial selection and is not automatically guaranteed for every submission.

The Dirty Disco podcast is available through multiple platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Mixcloud, SoundCloud, YouTube, the official Dirty Disco website and various podcast apps.

Radio syndication means that Dirty Disco episodes are also broadcast through multiple radio stations worldwide. This gives selected music additional exposure beyond the Dirty Disco website and standard podcast platforms.

No. The submission guarantees editorial consideration, not automatic airplay. Your release must fit the Dirty Disco sound. If accepted, it can be reviewed and may be featured in the podcast, but publication, podcast play and radio exposure remain editorial decisions.

Dirty Disco mainly accepts deep house, soulful house, organic house, melodic electronic music, nu-disco, downtempo, underground electronic music and closely related genres. Music should have a clear connection to the Dirty Disco sound: warm, groovy, soulful, electronic, underground or forward-thinking.

Mainstream EDM, hardstyle, commercial pop, rock, metal, trap, drill, acoustic singer-songwriter music and unrelated genres are usually not a fit for Dirty Disco Radio. If the release clearly sits outside the platform’s sound, it may be declined and refunded.

Yes. Artists, record labels, music promoters and PR agencies can submit releases, as long as the music fits the Dirty Disco Radio sound and the submission includes enough information for a proper editorial review.

Yes. You can submit an upcoming release, as long as you include a working private promo link, release date, artist name, title, label information and press release. Make sure the link remains active long enough for review consideration.

Yes. Already released music can be submitted, especially if it is still relevant, recently released or part of an active campaign. Include the release date and streaming or promo links so we can understand the timing and context.

Include the story behind the release, the mood, influences, artist background, label information, release date, genre, key tracks and any details that help explain why the music matters. The more useful the context, the stronger the potential review.

Submit a working streaming or promo link such as SoundCloud, private SoundCloud, Dropbox, WeTransfer, Google Drive, Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music or another reliable music link. Make sure the link is accessible and does not expire too quickly.

Yes, artwork or an artist photo helps present the release professionally. You can upload JPG, PNG, WEBP or PDF files, depending on the form requirements. Good visuals can improve the final presentation of the review.

The promo submission fee is €25.00. This fee covers editorial consideration, the review process and potential publication when your release fits the Dirty Disco Radio sound.

After submitting the form, you will be redirected to a secure payment page. Once payment is completed, your submission is received and can be reviewed by Dirty Disco.

If your release does not fit the Dirty Disco Radio sound, your submission may be declined and refunded. This keeps the platform focused, fair and musically consistent.

Yes, if Dirty Disco declines your submission because the music does not fit the platform’s sound, you may receive a refund. Refunds are not intended for incomplete, incorrect or inaccessible submissions, so make sure your information and links are accurate.

Publication timing depends on the editorial schedule, podcast planning and the amount of submissions being reviewed. Accepted releases are handled as soon as possible, but timing can vary depending on release date, relevance and episode flow.

You can mention preferred timing in the extra notes field, especially if your release has a specific release date or campaign window. Dirty Disco will take this into account where possible, but exact publication or podcast placement cannot be guaranteed.

Dirty Disco does not sell fake praise. Reviews are written from an editorial perspective and focus on music that fits the platform. The goal is to give your release credible, useful and musically informed coverage.

Small factual corrections, such as spelling, wrong links or incorrect release details, can usually be adjusted. Editorial opinions, writing style and review angle remain under Dirty Disco’s editorial control.

Where appropriate, the review can include relevant links to your music, artist profile, label page, streaming platform or campaign page. Submit the most important links clearly in the form.

Yes. Dirty Disco reviews are written with clear artist names, release titles, labels, genres and music context. This helps listeners, search engines and AI tools better understand the release and connect it to the right audience.

Yes, but each release should be submitted separately. This keeps the review process clear and ensures every release gets its own context, information and editorial consideration.

A strong submission includes a working music link, clear artist and release details, release date, label information, genre, artwork and a useful press release. Tell us what the music is, why it matters and where it fits within the electronic music landscape.

A weak submission has broken links, missing release details, no story, unclear genre information or music that obviously does not fit the Dirty Disco sound. Generic copy-paste promo text also makes it harder to write a meaningful review.

This service is for independent artists, producers, labels, managers and PR agencies who want credible editorial coverage, potential podcast exposure and access to a focused audience of deep house and underground electronic music listeners.

This service is not for artists looking for guaranteed praise, guaranteed airplay, fake hype or automatic publication. Dirty Disco only works with music that fits the platform’s sound and editorial direction.
