A short pitch to the right contact

What is in the hub

  • 111 contacts

    Blogs, radio, playlist curators and journalists, with their email address.

  • Filter by type and genre

    Keep the contacts who listen to what you make, for targeted pitches.

  • Tied to your press kit

    Your online EPK is the link to attach to every message.

  • A step in your release plan

    Outreach to media, radio and curators is a dated task in your release plan.

How to use it

  1. 01

    Filter

    Pick the contact type and the genre that matches your music.

  2. 02

    Write your pitch

    A short message, your track and your EPK link. The text templates help you draft it.

  3. 03

    Send and follow up

    Write to each contact with a personal message, not a mass email.

Pitching music press without spamming

An outlet gets dozens of releases a day. What counts is the right genre, a short message, a one-click listen and an up-to-date press kit. Twenty well-chosen contacts beat two hundred identical emails.

The hub gives you the addresses and lets you filter. The pitch is still yours to write, and it is easier with a clean EPK.

Who this is for

The directory covers French-speaking outlets and curators, so it is useful if you release in France or want French press. It is not a US or UK directory. The app is in French for now.

NextDrop+ only

  • NextDrop+ (€6.90 a month): the media and curator hub (111 contacts), unlimited release plans and EPKs, and the contract templates.
