Music For Uncertain Times. This One’s For You.
The current submission window is from now to September 1st. IMPORTANT: The submission window may be subject to change. The release date is currently planned for late-September to early-October, but we will post further updates once we get a specific date confirmed.
Thank you very much for your consideration. If you have any further questions regarding this compilation, please send me an email at: argalirecordsnetlabel@nym.hush.com.
COMPILATION SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
I. Please send your track to argalirecordsnetlabel@nym.hush.com.
II. Send the track through WeTransfer or a similar service. DO NOT directly attach tracks to emails. One track per musician/band please.
III. PLEASE be sure to label your email AND your track file with your project name and track name (“PROJECT NAME – TRACK NAME”).
IV. Include your project Bandcamp/website/etc in your submission email, or if you do not have one of these, PLEASE STATE SO IN THE EMAIL. We cannot guarantee a reply if we do not have a website to promote or if you do not tell us you do not have one at present.
V. Only send us an email if you have a track ready to submit. Track length should be between one minute to twenty minutes in length, although we do accept exceptions to this on a case-by-case basis.
VI. Ideally, this track should be EXCLUSIVE to the compilation. Submitted tracks that have been submitted to other compilations can be subject to removal.
VIII. Tracks need to be lossless and conform to Bandcamp upload procedures (see above).
IX. WE CANNOT MASTER OR RE-MASTER YOUR TRACK (see above).
X. We attempt to strike a balance between submission time and total time it takes to release a compilation. Most usually have around two to three months submission time windows. If you cannot make the submission deadline, but would still like to contribute, please get in touch with us BEFORE the submission deadline, and we will see what we can do. We are no longer accepting submissions received after the deadline without prior notification, because it frequently causes unreasonable amounts of delay. Also, if you get in touch with us in this manner, please give us a rough ETA of when the track will be ready to we can adjust schedules as needed.
XI. Track graphics are encouraged, but not required. As stated above, track graphics should be at least 1500×1500 .jpeg or similar files.
XII. We reserve the right to reject any submission for any reason (see above).
XIII. These rules are not all 100% set in stone, but have been written to facilitate the submission process and make it easier for both the label and the musician/band in question.
