- DO NOT submit .wav files we can’t use them and won’t convert them for you.
- DO NOT submit Spotify or YouTube links we can’t air links. Nor are we inclined to go out of our way to watch the video or listen on Spotify.
- DO NOT submit links to pages like Soundcloud, even if the music there is downloadable, we aren’t going to chase a bunch of links.
- DO NOT submit music using sharing services like We Transfer. These services are time limited and due to the high volume of submissions we receive we can not promise we will even see your submission before time runs out.
- DO NOT submit all your social links in this form, they’ll be caught as spam and we won’t see them, this is information that should be in your EPK.
- DO NOT PASTE YOUR PRESS KIT INFO INTO THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THIS FORM THE DJ’s WON’T SEE IT.
BELOW IS WHAT A TAGGED mp3 or mp4 file will look like if all requited tags are filled in.
We will automatically reject any mp3/m4a (acc) file sent to Insane Realm Radio; that are incorrectly tagged. All Tags must be filled in correctly. US and Canadian Law Requires it. (It doesn’t matter where you are from, we are located in Canada).
- Title; the name of the song
- Artist; This should be obvious
- Album; Name of the album or EP song is from.*
- Album Artist
*If the song is a single then the name of the song goes here again along with the word (single)… EX: Name of Song (Single).
We use Tag Scanner it’s very user friendly.
Where can I make and EPK…
There are sites that allow you to make an Electronic Press Kit (EPK) ArtistEcard, ReverbNation and EZpresskitz, just to name a few. If you have a copy of MS Word or equivalent you can make a presskit in just a few hours with all the info you need.
