Submitting music for consideration to musicsubmissions@radiosix.com

We're happy to receive new music for consideration. Our playlist is broad and international, and we welcome songs in languages other than English. But there are a few rules. We receive in excess of 300 songs a week, so we don't have time to go searching for YouTube videos (that we can't download) or download press releases that give us links to somewhere else. So the rule is - send us an mp3 as an attachment to your email. It should be 192kbs or more and recorded at 44.1kHz. If you don't do that we probably won't listen to your music, which would be a pity. Second rule - mark your files clearly. The filename should be in the form Artist-Record Title. Thank you
