Side-Line call for submissions for 2 new compilations – Deadline
Side-Line call for submissions for 2 new compilations
After a brief hiatus due to personal commitments and external work obligations, I’m pleased to announce that submissions are now open for not one, but two brand new Side-Line download compilations:
- “United – The Freyja Files”: A compilation spotlighting female vocalists across all (sub)genres within the darkwave music scene.
- “United – The Odin Files”: A compilation featuring male vocalists encompassing all (sub)genres in the darkwave music scene.
These compilations will continue to support Ukraine, as assistance remains crucial.
We welcome submissions from new, unsigned, and signed bands. BUT it’s important you are NOT a member of GEMA, SABAM, etc.. as these really jeopardize the future of our releases.
Powered by Side-Line Magazine, these compilations will be exclusively released via our Bandcamp page. They will receive promotion across various magazines and DJs. Additionally, we will once more invite Seattle’s Shane Aungst to lend his expertise to the upcoming volumes, with one (or two?) remix albums to follow.
How can you take part in the compilations?
There are a couple of rules to respect in order to make it easier for everyone, especially for me since since I go through all of the submissions.
- Send 1 (!!!) mastered track in WAV format via WETRANSFER to info@side-line.com .
- Name your files CORRECTLY, it really saves me A LOT of time
- Do NOT send files via email, such submissions will not be accepted! Only use Wetransfer.com to send your best track.
- I will contact you upon selection to send you some paperwork to complete.
- The deadline for submission is March 27th 2025.
Good luck!

Support Side-Line
More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
