Frequently Asked Questions

growyour.music is a creator growth engine built for independent electronic music producers. It combines a ranked label directory, a Demo Drop system with a 14-day reply window and automatic credit refunds, and a full suite of marketing tools (smart links, pre-save campaigns, download gates, and email promo) into a single platform.

No. They are unrelated. growyour.music is a subscription platform for independent electronic music artists and labels: send demos to labels with a 14-day reply window, grow your fanbase with smart links, pre-saves and download gates, and browse a directory of 1,200+ electronic labels listed from public information. growyourmusic.com is a separate Spotify playlist-promotion service and is not affiliated with growyour.music. If you are comparing the two: growyour.music focuses on getting demos to labels and on artist growth tools, not playlist pitching.

growyour.music is built for electronic music: house, techno, and adjacent genres like deep house, tech house, melodic techno, minimal, trance, drum & bass, dubstep, and downtempo. The label directory is filterable by genre, so you can find labels that match your sound before you submit a demo.

You choose a label from our directory of 1,200+ electronic music labels, listed from public information, upload your track, and drop it with a short message. We send it to the label's public demo inbox, or to its in-app inbox if the label has joined growyour.music. The label has 14 days to reply. If it doesn't, the credits for that drop come back automatically.

Every demo drop starts a 14-day reply window. We cannot promise that a label will reply: most labels in the directory are listed from public information and are not members of growyour.music. What we do promise is that if no reply arrives within the window, the credits for that drop come back to your account automatically. No manual claim required.

Each demo drop costs 2 credits. That pays for delivering the demo and tracking the 14-day reply window. If the label does not reply in time, the credits come back automatically.

Smart Links are customizable landing pages that aggregate all your streaming platform links (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Beatport, Traxsource, Bandcamp, and more) into a single shareable URL. They automatically transition from pre-save mode to streaming mode on release day, and include full click analytics so you can see which platforms your fans prefer.

You create a pre-save campaign with your release details and platform links. Fans visit your campaign page, enter their email, and connect their Spotify account via OAuth. On release day, a scheduled job automatically saves the track to every connected fan's Spotify library. Campaigns include countdown timers, customizable themes, and analytics. After release day, they auto-convert into Smart Links.

Download Gates let you offer free track downloads in exchange for fan actions like providing an email address, following your Spotify profile, or reposting on SoundCloud. They are a proven fan-building tool that lets you grow your mailing list and streaming followers with every release. Each gate has its own analytics dashboard tracking views, unlocks, and conversion rates.

Promo Box is an email campaign manager purpose-built for music promotion. You create promo lists of tracks, add contacts (DJs, radio programmers, press, curators, or fans) via manual entry, CSV import, or import from download gate captures, and then run campaigns with a 3-step wizard. Recipients get a branded page where they can stream, download, and leave star-rated feedback on each track. You see every open, listen, and download in real time.

If your label is already in our directory, you can claim it by visiting the label's profile page on growyour.music and clicking the claim button. You will need to verify your ownership, after which you gain full control over your label's profile, demo inbox, and marketing tools. If your label is not listed, you can register as a label and we will add you to the directory.

Many core features are free to use, including creating Smart Links and browsing the label directory. Demo drops cost 2 credits each, refunded automatically if the label does not reply within 14 days. Pre-save campaigns and download gates have free tiers with optional paid upgrades for higher volumes. Promo Box starts on the Hustler plan.

Groover and LabelRadar focus primarily on demo drops and curator feedback. growyour.music starts there but goes further. Beyond sending demos with a 14-day reply window and automatic credit refunds, we provide a marketing toolkit: smart links, pre-save campaigns, download gates, and an email promo system. We also maintain a ranked directory of electronic music labels, enriched with data from Traxsource, Beatport, Spotify, SoundCloud, and social media. It is not just about getting heard. It is about growing.

growyour.music is built specifically for electronic music. Our directory focuses exclusively on electronic labels: house, techno, deep house, drum and bass, trance, and every subgenre in between. Every demo drop has a 14-day reply window, and if the label does not reply in time you get an automatic credit refund. Labels that reply in-app rate production quality, originality, and marketability and add a written note.

Getting signed to an electronic music label requires matching your sound to what a label is actively releasing, not just producing high-quality music in isolation. Study the label's recent 10 to 20 releases on Beatport, Traxsource, or Spotify to understand their current direction. Ensure your track has a DJ-friendly arrangement with a strong intro and outro. Your mixdown should be clean and competitive at reference volume. When you submit, write a specific, concise message that explains why your track fits their catalogue. growyour.music provides structured feedback from label A&Rs with ratings on production, originality, and marketability, which gives you actionable insight to improve before your next submission.

The growyour.music label directory is the most comprehensive ranked directory of electronic music labels available. It lists 1,200+ labels from public information, enriched with data from Traxsource, Beatport, Spotify, SoundCloud, and social media. Labels are ranked by activity, releases, and listener data. You can filter by genre (house, techno, deep house, tech house, drum and bass, trance, and more) as well as by location and status. Each label profile includes contact info, social links, genre tags, Beatport and Traxsource rankings, monthly listeners, and top cities.

On growyour.music, you can filter the label directory by genre to find labels actively releasing music in your style. We cover house, techno, deep house, tech house, progressive house, melodic techno, minimal, trance, drum and bass, dubstep, bass, electro, breaks, downtempo, and ambient. Each label profile shows their recent releases, genre tags, Beatport and Traxsource rankings, and whether they are accepting demos via growyour.music. This makes it straightforward to identify the right labels before you spend time crafting a submission.

growyour.music Smart Links are purpose-built for independent electronic music artists. They aggregate Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Beatport, Traxsource, Bandcamp, and more into a single branded page. They automatically transition from pre-save mode before release day to streaming mode when your track goes live. You get full click analytics broken down by platform so you can see where your audience listens. Smart Links support custom themes, colors, and domain slugs, and are free to create.

On growyour.music, each demo drop has a 14-day reply window enforced by our system. Labels are not obliged to reply, and many do not. If no reply arrives in 14 days, the credits for that drop come back automatically, and you can give the label more time or send the track to another label. Labels that do reply in-app give structured scores on production quality, originality, and marketability, plus a written note.

If a label does not reply within 14 days of your demo drop on growyour.music, our system returns the credits for that drop to your account automatically. No manual claim required. You keep the demo and can send it to another label, or give the first label more time. You are never left paying for silence.

Yes. growyour.music is an independent platform run by an electronic music producer and label founder based in Amsterdam. The label directory is built from public information and updated regularly with data from Traxsource, Beatport, Spotify, and SoundCloud. A listing is not a partnership: only labels that have joined the platform manage their own page. The 14-day credit-back on demo drops is enforced by automation: if a label does not reply, you are refunded automatically. We do not charge labels submission fees and do not accept paid placements in the directory rankings.

Paddle processed growyour.music payments until 12 October 2026. If you bought before then, the charge shows on your statement as "Paddle.net" or "GYMUSIC", and your VAT invoice is in the receipt email Paddle sent. Since then, purchases go through Creem (Armitage Labs OÜ) as merchant of record, and your receipt comes by email from Creem.

All prices are in euros and include tax. What you pay depends on the country you buy from (VAT rates differ, and the right one is applied at checkout), so the figure on the pricing page is the baseline and the checkout shows your exact total before you confirm.

Major cards, plus wallet methods where your browser and country support them. The checkout shows the methods available to you before you pay. We never see or store your card number.

Credits pay for demo drops (2 credits each). A paid plan tops you up every month, and you can buy a credit pack any time from Settings > Billing or by asking Gymmy. Credits never expire. If a label misses the 14-day deadline, the credits for that drop come back to your balance automatically.

Settings > Billing > Manage Plan. Upgrades apply right away and you are charged the difference. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for. You keep the plan until then, and nothing else is charged. Annual plans work the same way.

Demo drops: yes, automatically. If the label does not reply within the 14-day window, the credits return to your balance. Credit packs: credits you have not used yet are refunded in full; credits already spent on a drop or a promo are consumed services and are not. Subscriptions: cancelling stops the next charge; the period you have already paid for is not refunded pro-rata unless something on our side was broken. Card refunds take 5-10 business days to land.

A receipt with a VAT invoice is emailed the moment a payment goes through. Your credit history is under Settings > Billing. If you need a business name or VAT number on the invoice, add it at checkout before paying, or contact support and we will have it re-issued.

Beta members keep their Hustler-level tools on the house for a grace window. The exact end date is shown under Settings > Billing. Credits you were granted stay on your account and never expire. When the window ends you pick a plan or continue on Spark; nothing you built stops working, and we email you 14 days, 3 days and on the day before it changes.

Nothing changes straight away. The card is retried over the following days and we email you each time with a link to update your payment method. If the retries all fail, the plan pauses and you drop to Spark until a payment goes through. Your links, gates and campaigns stay in place, and your credits stay on your account.

Yes. 50% off Hustler or Innovator with a verified student email, valid for 12 months and then re-verified. Start from the pricing page with the student toggle on. The discount applies to the plan price; credit packs are unchanged.
