As you Unsigned Guide regulars well know, we don’t just keep the Spotlight track selections that we lovingly hand-pick from our members’ submissions each month to ourselves. Oh no! We also share these audio treasures with a select list of respected music industry professionals. They guarantee to listen to the Spotlight tracks sent their way and if they like what they hear, they’ll be in touch.
But who are the mystery bunch? Well, to prevent our Spotlight listening panel getting mobbed in the street we shan’t reveal the names of individuals, however we can tell you that we have expert ears from the following established music businesses on board. Did we also mention that each of our Spotlight artists is also likely to receive airplay on Roundhouse Radio and Twisted Mixtape on Pulse 98.4? No matter what type of subscription you have (as long as it's active!), members of The Unsigned Guide can send us one track every month for Spotlight consideration, so there has never been a better time for you to sign up & send us your music!
Spotlight is open to Unsigned Guide members only. Head here for more details about how Spotlight works. If you already have a subscription to The Unsigned Guide, once logged in click on Enter The Spotlight to find details of how to submit your track to us for consideration.
