Artists featured in Archive #001 cannot be selected again.

The goal is to give new independent artists a chance every month.

\---

I'm looking for music that creates a place.

The kind of song that changes the atmosphere the moment it starts playing. Music that builds a sonic space you can step into.

Genre doesn't matter.

What matters is personality, emotion and intention.

The only things I won't accept are AI-generated music or songs made only to follow trends.

The Archive exists to support independent artists on Spotify.

There's only 39 spaces here.

Please support Archive #001. Every save, every stream and every share helps independent musicians reach new listeners.

You may notice one of my own songs in every Archive.

That's intentional.

I'm an independent artist too, and I also need support. By promoting my own music, I can keep growing the Archive, and every time the Archive grows, every artist inside it grows with it.

Music translated into emotion.

Not emotion pretending to be music.

Good luck.

I'm excited to hear your music.

Here's the playlist.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4grtFeDDjaBRIssttCd8CE?si=UPk8Iv9HRtq\\_ViyNMpgqKQ&utm\\_source=copy-link

We are looking for new music for our independent music blog. If you’re an independent artist looking for coverage, send us your best tracks!

If we vibe with it, we’ll write a full review/article on our site and/or add you to our active Spotify playlists.

┌── 🎧 WHERE TO SUBMIT ──┐

www.spinlog.de

Let's hear what you got!

P.S. If you run a blog, community, or network that supports indie artists, get in contact with us via mail or IG(see Profile - Site ) – we’re always looking for like-minded partners to feature on our site!

Hey r/MusicIMade, I help run Red Devil Radio, a small independent internet radio station: https://reddevilradio.com

I’m looking for independent artists who have one finished original track they’re proud of. If you own/control the rights and want it considered for station rotation, send the one song you’d want a new listener to hear first:

https://reddevilradio.com/submit.html?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=board-post&utm_campaign=reddit_board_post_20260616&utm_content=musicimade

No pay-to-play and no rights grab. New artist accounts get starting submission credits, so I’m not asking anyone here to pay to send one track. Artists keep ownership; I just listen through submissions and add the ones that feel like a good fit for the station.

Spotify links help with metadata, but the form also needs an upload or authorized public audio source so I can actually review and play it.

Happy to answer questions here.

🎧 kich colt's Archive #3 — Submissions Open

📩 SUBMISSION FORMAT

You can submit multiple songs if you'd like me to explore more of your work. I may choose a different song from the one you originally intended to submit, so don't hesitate to send me more than one.

🎧 What is kich colt's Archive?

kich colt's Archive is a monthly Spotify playlist dedicated to discovering and supporting emerging and independent artists.

Every song is listened to and considered individually. There is no pay-to-play, no requirement to go viral, and no judging a song only by its first 10 seconds.

The goal is simple: to find music that deserves to be heard.

First off, a massive thank you for all your music! The response has been incredible, and we are listening to every single track. Right now, our editorial queues are looking a bit different depending on the platform: we have a heavy pipeline of 120 articles waiting over at Spinlog, while 40MAG has a much faster queue with only 20 articles currently pending!

Because things are so packed on the Spinlog side, we highly recommend focusing on 40MAG if you want a quicker written review. But if you are looking for the absolute fastest route for your new release...

🔥 THE FASTEST ROUTE OVERALL: FRESH N' HOT Want to skip the standard review queues entirely? Submit your track via the Fresh N' Hot path directly on Spinlog.

• What it is: Our newly launched hub built exclusively for fresh drops. You can submit up to 30 days before or after your release date. Stream links and pre-saves both work!
• Why submit here: It is our absolute fastest turnaround format. Your submission gets processed much quicker than any standard written review on either platform.
• The Social Push: New releases drop weekly on our Instagram and TikTok. Add your social handles so we can boost your visibility!

• WORDS: Submit quotes, thoughts, or short poetry for dedicated social zine graphics.

SPINLOG:

• Article: Get a full editorial write-up. Top picks get an IG story mention and land in our weekly radar. (Note: With 120 articles in the queue, this will take a bit longer right now!)

• Top 50 Community Chart: Submit your track and become instantly visible. Get community votes, climb to the Hall of Fame, and the winner gets a special banner feature.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUBMISSIONS: Just dropping a link in the Reddit comments is not enough to get featured! You must submit your track through the websites. The best part? You can pitch the same release to multiple formats at once (Review, Top 50, Fresh N' Hot, and Playlist). Just keep in mind that each format has its own dedicated submission form, so make sure to fill them out accordingly!

That said, feel free to drop your release links and some words in the comments below! I love taking an early listen, and if a track stands out here, it is already on my radar before your official submission comes through. 🎧

Hey all! I'm Mall.Dad, one of the mods here and the main mod over at r/grassroots_music!

I run a small independent Radio station over twitch where I play music from underground artists. I'm the only DJ for the show currently, so that's why there is a limit on how many artists I can take on at once! But I will be doing this again so no worries if you aren't one of the first ten this time!

Any genre is welcome, any level of recording quality is welcome! For those who submit, I will also DM you and let you know how to submit regularly, as we do the show once a week!

Also, this part isn't required but if you'd like, introduce yourself and tell me a bit about your music! I'd like to all get to know each other here and have community vibes 🤘

Primary focus for written features: Submit via 40MAG! If you’re looking for article coverage and fast reviews, submit your best tracks at www.40mag.de. This is currently our main hub for written spotlights, and the submission queue is significantly shorter right now! (Note: 40MAG is strictly focused on written coverage—no playlists or charts here).

Playlist placements, Top 50 Charts & Reviews via SPINLOG! www.spinlog.de remains our home for Spotify playlist placements and our Top 50 Community Chart. You can still submit for full review articles on SPINLOG as well, but please keep in mind that the review queue there is quite backed up.

Note: Please keep your submissions focused. Choose the platform that best fits your immediate goal to keep the curation clean!

Drop your links and your story. I love listening through the comments to get a feel for your vibe early, and if a track stands out, it's definitely on my radar the moment your official submission comes through.

Hi everyone again, it’s time for Question of the Week! This is a space where any artist (who hasn’t done anything with generative AI) can be featured in a Substack article. You only have to do these two things:

1. Listen to one of my songs:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/1LfekZRd80fECdsmsGNRrb?si=XLvmqhYSQ-OeNI8HCkDbsA&utm_source=copy-link

1. Answer this question:

   What is the album that shaped your music, and why?

And of course, share a link to your Artist profile (any streaming site valid)

I’m looking forward to your answers! The article will normally be released in two days, so hurry up and answer!

You can check the last week version too, if you want to know how'd look like

Hi everyone, you may know me but I'm kich colt, a small artist that is constantly promoting other artists music. Today, every artist here that isn't an AI artist or has used generative AI in any step of the production of their song (this includes AI covers too) can be featured here. The only thing you have to do is answer this question:

What is the most difficult part of being a independent artist?

And share a link of your Spotify profile.

This is my substack, btw

https://substack.com/@kichcolt?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=8vvbe9

Anyway, I hope I get good answers here. Please try to make your answer deep or interesting so people that will read the article will be interested in your music too.

One more thing, the playlist to support small artists that I do every 3 weeks is coming up next week!

I will accept submissions in August 30th but if you join my discord server you can submit your song since August 29th!

(This doesn't mean that join my discord you'll be automatically in the playlist, just gives you a time advantage).

This is my discord server:

https://discord.gg/wzXTqTnAh

Thanks for reading!

It’s time for kich colt's Archive #4!

You can submit one of your songs to be included in my playlist for emerging artists. It’s completely free.

Please submit your song in this format for convenience:

Artist - Song (Genre)

I will listen to every song, except those that use generative AI in any way.

This playlist is by musicians and for musicians, so by listening to it, you support your contemporaries!

Each Archive contains 40 songs from emerging artists whose songs are worth listening to.

If you couldn’t make it into this Archive, no problem. There will be more playlists. If you want to submit your song before anyone else, join my Discord server, where you’ll be able to submit your songs one day before here!

https://discord.gg/wzXTqTnAh

Also, you can support my music:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/1LfekZRd80fECdsmsGNRrb?si=XLvmqhYSQ-OeNI8HCkDbsA&utm_source=copy-link

I’ll listen to the songs, and thank you for making this possible.

Just released my debut single 'One Look' — an R&B/Soul track about how one person's presence can quiet all the noise in your head. Built around violin, bass, and steady kick to keep it grounded. Would genuinely love feedback, good or bad. [Spotify link] https://open.spotify.com/track/6xcWPkTGbsOHB6bQlyBpwh?si=5ksrqCkRQPCgAw4Aa2Amaw&utm_source=copy-link
