Submission Guidelines -

PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE BEFORE SENDING MATERIAL!

We will consider any composition, album, song, or track so long as it is electronic music or infused with some element(s) of electronic music.  We do not care what genre the music as in as long as it is electronic music or some hybrid thereof.  However, in general, we are seeking listening music as opposed to dance music - that is, extremely repetitive music specifically geared for dancefloors.  Also, we are trying to avoid overly experimental or harsh noise recordings.  We will accept works either in CD audio format or high quality MP3 files (256k bitrate or higher).

Technical Audio Guidelines

CDs mailed to us give us the most flexible options for including your material.  However, we need to have MP3 files encoded at 256kbit or higher if you are uploading material directly to us, or we are downloading material from you.  Variable Bit Rate [VBR] files will not suffice.  We are attempting to keep the overall volume output level within a certain range, which is very difficult with such a wide variety of sources.  We prefer mastered material, or live recorded material that has been normalized and thoroughly checked for clipping/peak-outs.  If you send us material we wish to include in the library and it does not meet the technical guidelines, we will contact you to arrange something.

Other Submission Information

Material must be sent directly by the recording artist, composer, record label, or whomever owns the copyrights to the work.  By submitting material, you are certifying that you are the legitimate copyright holder and that you intend to allow OEM Radio to broadcast your material.  You are also certifying that the broadcast of your material does not infringe on any other legally binding contract, rights reassignment, licensing deal or other type of agreement you have with any organization.  You may elect to remove your material from OEM Radio's broadcast library at any time by notifying us.  People or organizations submitting works must acknowledge that OEM Radio, Dub Beautiful Collective, nor any organization affiliated with OEM Radio will not pay any sum for the use of the material.  This is a zero-profit, free project.

OEM Radio will contact you if your work has been accepted. Often it may take us up to a month to review submitted material, so be patient.

If you are not contacted after sending your material, it means only that we did not feel it fit in with the overall sound of the OEM Radio library - it does not speak to the quality or content of your work.
