Frequency State / For artists & labels
Submit your music
Frequency State welcomes electronic music from independent artists, labels and producers. We listen for interesting sounds, distinctive production ideas and recordings worth introducing to our readers and playlist listeners.
We cover ambient, experimental electronic music, IDM, downtempo, bass music, jungle and drum & bass. If your new single, EP or album fits our editorial direction, we’d like to hear it through SubmitHub. Please complete your SubmitHub artist profile before submitting: we want to know who you are, what you make and the ideas behind your music.

Editorial consideration
What happens to your submission?
We consider suitable releases for music reviews, editorial features and our curated Spotify playlists. A track might also inform future themed listening features or mixes.
Each selection is an editorial decision. We only accept submissions through SubmitHub. Submission does not guarantee a review or playlist inclusion.
What we listen for
Music with something to say
We’re interested in unusual instrumentation, compelling sound design, inventive rhythms, careful composition and artists with a distinctive approach to production. Independent and self-released recordings are welcome.
Before you send
Keep your submission focused
Complete your SubmitHub profile with a detailed artist biography, background on your music and useful links. For each submission, include the track or release title, accurate release information and a considered description of the recording: its sound, influences, production process and what you want listeners to know about it. We genuinely want to understand the artist as well as the track.
