An electronic music release campaign should help the right listeners hear the record and give them a reason to return. Start with a clear description of the music, useful assets and a release date that leaves room for DJs, editors and listeners to respond. The plan below is a suggested six week framework, not a platform requirement or a promise of coverage. Adapt it to your distributor’s deadlines, the label’s campaign and the time you can realistically commit. Promoting a track and selling tickets need different campaigns. If you are organising a club night, use our guide to promoting electronic music events. This article focuses on singles, EPs and albums. Six Weeks Before Release: Define The Record Write a short description that someone outside your studio can understand. Name the artist, release title, label or independent release, date and musical character. Then explain what makes this record worth hearing. Be specific about the sound. A swung drum pattern, a restless bassline or a vocal recorded in an unusual setting says more than a string of claims about a track being massive. Keep the description accurate to the music and avoid comparing yourself to every artist in the genre. Choose one main outcome for the campaign, such as reaching relevant DJs, encouraging direct purchases or turning new listeners into followers. Give it a baseline from your existing audience so you can judge the response. Five Weeks Before Release: Assemble A Useful Press Kit Put the essentials in one folder or page: a private listening link, release information, a short artist biography, artwork, approved press photos, credits and a contact address. Check every link on a phone and in a browser where you are signed out. Label the files clearly. An editor should be able to identify the release date and image credit without asking, while a DJ should know which version is the original mix and which is the radio edit. Provide downloadable audio where appropriate and authorised. If a premiere is part of the plan, agree which track, format and publication date are being offered before describing it as exclusive. Do not promise the same exclusive to several outlets. Use our electronic music press kit checklist for the files, image credits and release details to include, plus a short pitch template you can adapt. Four Weeks Before Release: Send Relevant DJ Promos Build a short list around musical fit. Listen to the DJ’s recent sets, radio shows or mixes and decide where the record might belong. A small relevant list is easier to manage and more useful than sending identical messages to hundreds of people. Lead with the record and one sentence explaining the connection. Include a private stream, a download where appropriate, the release date and any agreed embargo. Use the recipient’s published promo route and avoid large unsolicited audio attachments. Keep a simple log with the date sent, response and any support you have permission to share. A positive reply is feedback; a confirmed play is a different result. Record the distinction. Three Weeks Before Release: Pitch A Specific Story For press, offer an angle the publication can use. That might be a first release on a particular label, an interesting collaboration or a production story that reveals something about the record. Connect the pitch to the outlet’s recent coverage. Put the artist, release and date in a clear subject line. In the message, describe the music briefly, explain why it fits the publication, then provide the listening and asset links. Give the editor enough information to make a decision without opening five attachments. One concise follow up can be reasonable if there is still time for the proposed coverage. Keep the original context in the thread and accept that silence is not an agreement to publish. For examples of two different news angles, compare Fleur Shore introducing her UNDERGROWTH label with KATERINA X’s ‘Crave Me’ single announcement. A new label and a new single give an editor different stories to consider. Two Weeks Before Release: Complete The Platform Checks Confirm delivery and metadata with your label or distributor, then check that the upcoming release appears in your artist account. Correct artist profiles, credits and release dates before you direct listeners to the record. Spotify’s official editorial pitching guidance allows an Admin or Editor to pitch an upcoming, unreleased song through Spotify for Artists. Only one song can be pitched at a time, and a song is no longer eligible once it is live. Pitching does not guarantee editorial playlist placement. The platform asks for delivery at least seven days before release. Its Release Radar guidance also specifies pitching at least seven days ahead if you want to choose the song for followers’ Release Radar. Allow more time for your distributor’s own processing requirements. Release Week: Make Listening Easy Build a release page that gives listeners a clear route to the stores and services where the music is available. Test the destination links before posting. A pre release link should be checked again once the record is live. Prepare a few pieces of content with different purposes: an audio excerpt to introduce the sound, a production detail to explain a decision, and a personal note about why you made the record. Give each post a clear listening route. Share confirmed coverage and DJ support with accurate credits and permission where needed. Thank the people involved, and make room to answer listeners’ questions rather than scheduling every interaction in advance. After Release: Measure The Response Review the campaign after the first week and again after four weeks. Track listening link visits, purchases where available, follower changes, saves and confirmed DJ or press support. Keep the source and reporting period beside each number. Compare those results with your starting point. A press mention or a large impression count does not show how many people listened or bought the record. Use the data you can actually observe, and label anything you cannot attribute. If you test paid promotion, choose the action you want to measure and a budget you can afford before starting. Check whether the traffic reaches the intended listening page. Avoid treating an increase in views as proof that the campaign found committed listeners. Do not pay for guaranteed Spotify streams or playlist positions. Spotify’s guidance on artificial streaming explains that these services violate its terms and can lead to action against the music. A Final Release Checklist Before launch, confirm the release date, audio versions and credits; test the private and public links; finish the press assets; complete any eligible platform pitch; and schedule only the content you can support with real information. After launch, record what happened and which contacts or channels produced useful responses. Carry those lessons into the next release rather than rebuilding the entire campaign around one unusually strong or weak result.

BUY / STREAM ‘Higher’ [UG001] Fleur Shore has never been one to follow trends. She moves instinctively, weaving sounds and styles together in ways that have set her apart. Taking that ethos a step further she launches her project UNDERGROWTH—a record label, a party series, and more importantly, a community of art lovers who want to break free from mundanity and embrace the unknown. No rules, no expectations, and no concessions to the market. The mantra is simple: we are connected, we are one, we are undergrowth. UNDERGROWTH is a safe space where artists - new, legendary, forgotten or under the radar - can express themselves however they want. It will be a home for music that lingers in the mind long after the night ends—whether it’s house, disco, garage, minimal, techno, electro, jacking, 90s, or something that doesn’t fit neatly into a box. With this, Fleur Shore delivers the debut single for UNDERGROWTH titled ‘Higher’ set for release 18th April. Free from excess, it captures a sense of warmth and optimism, built to last beyond the dancefloor and not just a DJ club tool. It’s the perfect encapsulation of what the label stands for, not concerned with clicks, likes, or streams but the connection and community a record can create. ‘Higher’ is the first in a string of four singles that will be coming out in the coming months, each daringly different and completely mirroring the essence of Fleur Shore. "This label will be ART and I want to be proud of every single track on there," says Fleur, whose own career has been built on her willingness to explore the full spectrum of sound. The project will transcend being just a label, offering super limited and unique merch runs to coincide with fashion-conscious parties that immerse dancers in interactive art installations. UNDERGROWTH is the sound of Fleur Shore no longer conforming to unspoken rules of the electronic scene. Every collaboration will be guided by bold creativity and a fearless sense of freedom.

Aytiwan Belgian producer Aytiwan has teamed up with Breyth for ‘Mwezi’, a new Afro House collaboration released through his own Afrosteria imprint. The single brings together two producers whose respective approaches share a rhythmic foundation while leaving room for their individual identities. Aytiwan’s deeper, emotive production style meets Breyth’s percussion-led sensibility across a track built to steadily increase its grip rather than reveal everything at once. ‘Mwezi’ establishes that movement through a robust low-end and shuffling drums, with layers of synths gradually expanding around its central groove. Piano progressions and atmospheric textures bring a more melodic dimension, while vocal stabs and syncopated arpeggios add detail without pulling focus from the rhythm. As the arrangement develops, pulsating leads and recurring bass motifs increase the pressure, creating a balance between the hypnotic qualities associated with Afro House and a more direct dancefloor drive. The collaboration arrives as Aytiwan continues to move beyond his Belgian roots. His productions have become regular selections in Black Coffee’s DJ sets, with further support coming from Shimza and Roger Sanchez. Afrosteria has meanwhile given him a platform through which to develop his own interpretation of the genre. Breyth brings a growing international footprint of his own. His work has accumulated more than 37 million streams, while his touring has taken him to the USA, Morocco and Germany. Rather than forcing either producer away from familiar territory, ‘Mwezi’ finds its identity in the overlap between them. Breyth’s rhythmic instincts complement Aytiwan’s atmospheric approach, resulting in a collaboration where percussion, melody and low-end movement are given equal space to develop.

From his early beginnings in the burgeoning scene of underground dance music over twenty years ago, to the pinnacle of live, melodic House and Techno where he currently resides, EINMUSIK is an artist committed to pushing the envelop in each and every aspect of his creative output. The mastermind behind a string of internationally celebrated releases on leading labels including Stil Vor Talent, Diynamic, Bedrock, Suara, Katermukke and his very own Einmusika imprint, the iconic German producer and globally renowned live act now continues his remarkable run of first rate studio form with the unveiling of his latest original single, I’ll Follow.

Teaming up with hyped British singer-songwriter, Richard Judge – who has also enjoyed considerable career success having lent his vocal expertise to a string of hit singles including Show Me Love (Robin Schulz), Sober (Laidback Luke) and Dance On My Own (Frank Walker) to name a few – the two in-demand artists join forces to deliver a perfectly judged, vocal house cut that explores a highly nuanced and dynamic sound palate. Speaking about the release, EINMUSIK commented: "Here is my new release, a special feature with Richard Judge, created in the sun-drenched studio in Lisbon. It's a track that captures the essence of those special days, filled with creative energy and skills with this super talented singer by my side. As I look to the future, I'm excited to continue pushing the boundaries of my sound and exploring new creative avenues. This track is just the beginning of what's to come. I'm happy to say that this track is perfect for the dancefloor, with a driving beat and infectious melody and on the other hand you should test it on a road-trip." Unequivocal in his commitment to creativity, EINMUSIK’s impressive musicality shines front and centre, alongside his long-standing love affair with deep, melodic soundscapes. Backboned by uplifting synth work, exquisite production values and Judge’s unmistakable topline, the record’s rich sonic texture is a compelling and thought-provoking study of ’s EINMUSIK’s current direction as a highly accomplished, multi-faceted producer.

Influenced by jazz, funk, and soul, pivotal Drum & Bass figure Ray Keith’s journey into music began in the 1980s, spinning records around Essex and Suffolk before gaining prominence in London’s acid house and rave scene. With a knack for remixing, his bootleg mix of Orbital’s “Chime” in 1990 marked the start of his rise. Specialising in bass-heavy yet soulful tunes, he crafted classics like “Terrorist” – under the moniker of Renegade - and “Chopper,” solidifying his status as a genre icon. In 1994, Keith founded Dread Recordings; a label that coined its own distinct sound and brought through the likes of Serum, Bladerunner, Voltage, Danny Twisted Anger, Photek, Dillinja, and Lemon D. Along with this cohort of artists, Dread has continued to break down boundaries in the genre over the last 30 years and looks ripe to smash it for another 30 more.

UK Bass and Garage just keeps getting bigger and TQD - comprised of Royal-T, DJ Q and Flava D - remain firmly at the forefront of this sound. No surprise then that TQD is the latest act invited to host and curate a four-week residency at one of London’s best-known and respected late-night venues, XOYO.

Simply put, TQD is a trio of music-making friends united under a single name to make jacking dancefloor music inspired by classic UK garage and bassline sounds. Since their first collaborative foray with ‘Day & Night’, released on Butterz in 2015, TQD has undoubtedly proven that their three-way formula works. Appearing in clubs and at festivals the world over, they’ve been consistently shaking up scenarios with their high-octane blends of (predominantly) their own music across 4-deck sets. "Our residency is a four week celebration of friendship, our new album ‘there 4 u’, and nearly a decade of working together through different collaborations and remixes that eventually led to us forming TQD in 2015. Our guests are recent collaborators, talent we respect from the bass and garage scene and artists who know how to throw down a good party set for Friday nights in London. We look forward to being in the dance with you in September!" - TQD (Royal-T, DJ Q, Flava D) Answering the call for more diversified club programming in London, XOYO and TQD aim to hit the mark throughout September with an entourage of names set to elevate the presence of UKG and bassline in the capital.
