Every music or mix submission carries a $10 application fee, paid through Stripe when you send the form on Submit music.
What the fee covers
- One submission. One release or one mix per fee. If you send more than one link, we listen to the first.
- A full listen by an editor within 14 days of payment. Your confirmation email tells you the exact listen-by date.
- A confirmation email from support@electronicdispatch.com with your reference number.
What the fee doesn't buy
- Coverage, a write-up or a premiere.
- A positive review. Reviews land anywhere on our 0–10 scale.
- Faster handling, a say in the angle, or individual feedback.
If anyone, including us, suggests the fee improves your chances, that breaks our Editorial Policy and is grounds for a refund.
