Side-Line call for submissions for 2 new compilations
After a brief hiatus due to personal commitments and external work obligations, I’m pleased to announce that submissions are now open for not one, but two brand new Side-Line download compilations:
- “United – The Freyja Files”: A compilation spotlighting female vocalists across all (sub)genres within the darkwave music scene.
- “United – The Odin Files”: A compilation featuring male vocalists encompassing all (sub)genres in the darkwave music scene.
These compilations will continue to support Ukraine, as assistance remains crucial.
We welcome submissions from new, unsigned, and signed bands. BUT it’s important you are NOT a member of GEMA, SABAM, etc.. as these really jeopardize the future of our releases.
Powered by Side-Line Magazine, these compilations will be exclusively released via our Bandcamp page. They will receive promotion across various magazines and DJs. Additionally, we will once more invite Seattle’s Shane Aungst to lend his expertise to the upcoming volumes, with one (or two?) remix albums to follow.
How can you take part in the compilations?
There are a couple of rules to respect in order to make it easier for everyone, especially for me since since I go through all of the submissions.
- Send 1 (!!!) mastered track in WAV format via WETRANSFER to info@side-line.com .
- Name your files CORRECTLY, it really saves me A LOT of time
- Do NOT send files via email, such submissions will not be accepted! Only use Wetransfer.com to send your best track.
- I will contact you upon selection to send you some paperwork to complete.
- The deadline for submission is March 27th 2025.
Good luck!
Bernard – Side-Line Chief Editor
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
The donations are safely powered by Paypal.
