Thanks for your interest in delivering Radio Regentrude your latest releases!
You are welcome to submit your music at any time, subject to the submission policy and station guidelines documented on this page.
Getting playtime on Radio Regentrude offers a great chance for up and coming artists to reach a new audience as our internet live stream is accessible world wide – no download or registration needed – just use the usual media players installed on your device! Additionally, we serve a larger hospital radio station – „Klinikfunk Karlsruhe“ at städtisches Klinikum Karlsruhe.
Feel free to take a look at our schedule and list of shows. If you find a show or two that you think would be a fit for your music, let us know!
Please note: we take the time to review each submission sent and we will reply to all the record companies, music promoters, agencies, artists and bands that submitted music to us, however this is a very time consuming process and cannot be done within a few days.
If your music is selected to be played on Radio Regentrude it will be uploaded to our automated playlist and be randomly played when there is no live DJ („Mix of the week“ and others). Your music will also be available to the music department for DJ use (daily live shows).
Thank you in advance for your submissions!
Unsolicited submissions welcome!
Radio Regentrude DOES accept unsolicited submissions from musicians, bands, music promoters, record companies…. So please feel free to send us your songs at any time! We listen to everything and love to discover and play new music that fits in.
But please keep in mind that we receive a significant number of music submissions every week. Please do not send us emails and do not give us calls to inquire on the status of your music submission. This will not get your tunes played. Reviewing process takes some time.
Our preference is full albums over singles (unless there is unreleased material on the singles) as we do not want to bore our listeners with playlists repeating daily or even hourly.
Review Process
Once we receive a song or CD for consideration, it goes through our review process. The song / CD is listened to in its entirety and a determination is made on whether or not it fits our programming. Due to the volume of songs and CDs we receive, our review process may take up to 1 to 3 weeks before a song / CD could have potential airplay.
Please be aware that our programmers have many competing demands on their time and thus may not be able to return all calls or respond to all correspondence, particularly within time periods artists or labels might desire.
Please be patient with us and allow time for any status or review requests as we have to choose from many new songs coming in daily.
There is no guarantee made of receiving airplay. No acknowledgement of your submission is guaranteed.
Calling our DJs and / or having your friends call our DJs and requesting your music will not get it played.
Programming decisions and music selections for Radio Regentrude are made on a non-discriminatory basis.
Digital or physical submissions?
Although accepting both, physical as well as digital submissions, we prefer digital submission of music via mp3 files (or wav) when possible. Please provide a download link for dropbox, soundcloud, haulix, WeTransfer, Google drive, mydrive, hearthemusic or similar.
