A slight rant here… So I finally dove into SubmitHub, and after an entire day of going through curators and submitting tracks, I realize that despite claims to looking for underground or non-commercial sounds, most curators are looking for your typical trendy over produced material. I find so much good music on Soundcloud or Bandcamp, but looking through tracks approved on even the so-called selective curators, they’re anything but underground. Makes me think their rejected tracks might be better! Lol
Any better ideas on promoting a new release online? Playlist Push? Instagram story ads? How do I submit to the actual good techno and experimental Spotify playlists? Thanks!
After 12 hours of listening to approved tracks from the curators and submitting, it felt like I was listening to music all made in Ableton at the same factory. I was bored sh*tless bit persisted. So far I’ve only had declines usually criticizing the production not being clean / clear enough (I really hate most super polished productions) that it’s too experimental / cerebral for their blog, list, etc.
Wow that was quite something. User “–––--” actually had a point in saying it’s not a very organic or authentic approach. His/her music was actually better than the OP. But user “bubblegum_ross” is sure a supreme a-hole. That being said, not sure this type of spamming marketing is for me. I’ll look into IG stories though.
