DropTrack makes it easy to find and submit your music directly to record labels, DJs, blogs, radio stations, and playlist curators - all from within the platform.

Watch: Find Playlists and Pitch Your Music

Watch the 49-second playlist pitching overview to see how to find a suitable playlist, send a personal pitch and plan your follow-up.

Choose How to Pitch Your Music

  • Submit directly: find a suitable opportunity in the playlist directory, listen to the playlist and follow its submission guidelines. Some submissions are free; others offer or require a paid listen. A paid listen does not guarantee playlist placement.
  • Send an email campaign: save time by sending personal pitches to your own contacts or available industry lists, then see opens, plays and downloads so you can follow up with people who engage. See Creating Your First Email Campaign.
  • Share a listening link: give a playlist curator one place to play your music and leave feedback. See Playlist Links and Offers.

Tips for Better Submissions

  • Research first - Check the contact's preferred genres and style before submitting. Don't send hip-hop to a techno label.
  • Personalize your message - Mention something specific about the label or DJ. Show you've done your homework.
  • Lead with your best - Submit your strongest, most polished track.
  • Attach a press release - Use the AI Press Release Generator to create one quickly.
