- Include a short introduction, your full name, artist name, contact email (same email you used to send the links) and a correct track title in the email.
- PLEASE LABEL YOUR DEMOS CORRECTLY using ID3 tags in the mp3's as well as adding your artist name and track title in the filename!

We will contact you if we are interested in releasing your music on Deeper Shades Recordings, no reason to keep emailing us.

ALL DEMOS NOT MEETING THE CRITERIA ABOVE WILL BE IGNORED. SORRY

For 23 years, Deeper Shades of House has been spotlighting DJs from around the world with weekly guest mixes. We welcome everyone to submit a mix, but please contact Lars via [email protected] first—unless you’ve been personally invited to contribute.

Submission Guidelines:

 

1. Exclusivity:

   • Your mix must be exclusive to Deeper Shades of House.
   • It should not have been broadcast, uploaded, or shared anywhere else before or after submission.
     
     

2. Recording Standards:

   • The mix must be:
     • Recorded in WAV or AIFF format, or as a 320kbps MP3.
     • At least 60 minutes long (not even a second shorter—longer is fine).
     • A clean recording, free of hums, hisses, or distortion.
     • Uncompressed, with at least 4dB of headroom (this means your audio levels shouldn’t peak at 0dB to leave space for proper mastering).
       
       

3. No Additional Audio:

   • Do not include voiceovers, jingles, or IDs in your mix.
     
     

4. Details for Submission:

   • Email your mix as a downloadable link to [email protected].
   • Include the following:
     • A full tracklist formatted like this:
       Artist – Title (Remix) – Label
       (if possible, please submit as plain text in your email)
     • A short bio about yourself.
     • Links to your social profiles and website.
     • Two high-quality photos of yourself.
       
       

5. Label Your Files Correctly:

   • Name the file with your DJ name (e.g., DJName-MixTitle.mp3).
   • Ensure the ID3 tags of the file (the embedded metadata) include your full contact info (DJ name, email, social handles, etc.).
   • If you're unsure about ID3 tags, you can find guides online specific to your music player or editing software.
