Submit Your Music To Our RIFFS Playlist on Spotify
DFN Riffs is a curated Spotify playlist for high-energy, riff-forward music. We feature tracks that hit hard, whether they sit in punk, rock, metal, or any riff-driven subgenre. If your track brings a memorable hook or a punchy guitar or bass line, we want to hear it.
Who should submit
Submit if your music has a clear riff, strong production, and fits the playlist mood: bold, energetic, and modern. We accept indie releases and label submissions. Remixes are considered if they bring a fresh, riff-forward take.
How to prepare your submission
- Check the playlist first. Review the DFN Riffs playlist to confirm style and mood. Replace the placeholder below with the live playlist link.
- Provide a private review link. Use a Spotify private link (artist or unpublished track link), a private SoundCloud link, or a private YouTube video. Public links are fine only if the track is already released.
- Gather metadata. Include track title, main artist, release date, label (if any), and a contact email.
- Write a short pitch. Tell us in 1–2 sentences why this track fits DFN Riffs and any noteworthy press, previous playlist adds, or performance clips.
- Optional extras. Attach stems, a one-sheet, press links, or a short live clip when available.
Submission process
Use the submission form below. We review submissions weekly. Allow up to 4 weeks for a final decision. If your track is selected, we will add it and share the update on our social channels.
