We run a 100% free independent music network (3 platforms) - looking for new music & giving away dedicated social features!

A massive thank you for all the music! The response has been incredible.

We’ve recently expanded our ecosystem to three specialized platforms. To get featured as quickly as possible and understand how to unlock our new massive Instagram carousels, here is the best way to navigate our current queues:

1. INDIEINDEX (Global Network & Archives) - NEW!

👉 www.indieindex.de

• Global Artist Map (+ Atlas Showcase): Claim your personal pin on our interactive world map to connect globally. Confirmed pins get an exclusive 'Atlas' social media spotlight.
• Reviews & Deep-Dive Interviews: Pitch for a review and get a chance to unlock a full, custom interview feature pushed as an extensive 10+ slide carousel.
• Drops: Our fast-track format for short-form, direct coverage.

2. 40MAG (Fast-Track & Straight Talk)

👉 www.40mag.de

• Article Reviews (+ Weekly Radar): With a much shorter queue, this is your best bet for a fast write-up. Bonus: Accepted articles automatically pitch you for our 12-artist 'Weekly Radar' IG carousel.
• Community Tracks (+ Raw Tracks Bonus): Our 100% platform-open stage. Drop your links for permanent discovery. Bonus: Fill out the optional details to pitch for a dedicated slide in our 'Raw Tracks' IG drop.
• WORDS: Submit quotes, thoughts, or short poetry for dedicated social zine graphics.

3. SPINLOG MAG (Editorial, Playlists & Culture)

👉 www.spinlog.de

• Top 50 Community Chart: Submit to instantly appear. Gather community votes, climb to the Hall of Fame, and win a special banner feature.
• Playlists (+ Turntable Mixtape): Find the playlist that fits your sound and pitch directly. Bonus: Every 8 additions trigger a massive 'Turntable Mixtape' social drop.
• Fresh N' Hot: Skip the review queue entirely. Built exclusively for fresh drops (up to 30 days before/after release).
• Article Reviews (+ 2x Social Bonuses): Get a full editorial write-up. (Note: We currently have a heavy 120-article pipeline here, so expect a wait!) Bonus: Triggers guaranteed entry into our bi-weekly 'Community Recap' AND a chance for the 'Amplifier' Radar.
• The Noisy Brain (Optional): A completely decoupled feature exploring mental health and music. Answer the optional questions for a chance at a monthly web article and a massive cross-promo IG Collab with 6000 Followers.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUBMISSIONS

Dropping a link in the Reddit comments is not enough!

All official features go strictly through our websites. You can pitch the same release to multiple formats across the network - just make sure to fill out the dedicated form for each path.
