SUBMISSIONS WELCOME
Requirements for adding songs to playlists are: 1. I must like the song ;-) - 2. The song must fit the playlist (year of release, genre, playlist description) - 3. Nothing beats attention: SHARE the playlists on which you are on all of your socials and add the playlists on which you are to your "artist playlists" on your Spotify profile. - 4. LIKE the playlist on you're on - 5. PLAY the playlist, help each other out, stream once a week or more if you like and get your streams up. No bots, no looping, just artists playing artists. A few times will help everyone! - 6. If you buy me a digital beer, that would be wonderful, but never a requirement (only for PR agencies), I pay for paid advertising on Instragram out of my own slim wallet, so support would always be helpful. It could also be a beer LIVE at one of your concerts in my area. I'm always thirsty... ;-) - 7. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!
Please put the link to your music on Spotify in the comment field ("Your Message")

I try to answer all mails personally as soon as possible between 24 and 48 hours.

blackmarket playlists on socials
Hi, I curate a few playlists on Spotify. The goal is to support and make visible up-and-coming bands and artists that otherwise go under the radar. The genres of the playlists are punk and punkrock, sometimes spiced up with streetpunk, surfpunk, emo, grunge and hardcore from Canada, California, Australia, Floirda, the Midwest, Italy or United Kingdom as well as female fronted punk and fantastic punk cover - covered in punk! Shoegaze and dreampop, sometimes spiced with noise, post-rock, grungegaze, heavygaze, instrumental shoegaze and instrumental postrock as well as from Turkey, California, Canada, Español, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany and Austria, Australia and New Zealand, Texas and Oklahoma, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England (UK, United Kingdom), Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Poland, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, FYROM and Ukraine, France and Belgium, Greece, Washington and Oregon (Seattle and Portland), from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia (the Southeast), Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin (the Midwest); Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Philly, Pittsburth (the Northeast) and Africa, Tunesia, South Africa, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Columbia, Spain, Venezuela, the Philippines (Filipino shoegaze).

New Pop inspired by the Eighties (80s) with New Wave Electrop Pop, Synthwave, Synthpop, Retropop. New Dance-Pop with female lead singers and Dancecover of famous hits. All playlists are hand-curated, no automatism, no bots, no team (I do everything on my own), no paid content, no adding of songs for money, no inconsistent content: only current songs that matches the titles and the descriptions of the playlists (see Spotify) are included (as far as I know, subject to errors). Each song is listened to and only added to a playlist if I like it and it is suitable for a playlist. The artist profile and musical biography is read and listened to, each band and artist I follow on social media (if available) and mention them in story and posts with each update. The following applies to all playlists: One song per artist/band. The only exceptions are the artists/bands that are on the cover of the playlists. Proud member of Right Chord Music. For all efforts, I am grateful for a cold drink at buy me a beer. I do paid advertising for the playlists on Instagram.
