Want to get your music played on RTRFM?
Good, because we want to play it! Fill in the form below to share your latest or upcoming release, and our Music Team will consider it.
Unlike a lot of other commercial, community and public radio stations, RTRFM is not playlisted. What that means is the station does not dictate what songs should be played and when – instead we trust our presenters to play the most exciting and interesting music they’re unearthing. Every week we run a local and RTRFM feature album alongside our Sound Selection which features 14 of the most exciting tracks to come through the station that week, as selected by the Music Director. We also love premiering songs on-air and videos via our website and social media – please submit music two weeks ahead of its release to ensure there is time for it to be considered. If you want to check out if a track has received airplay, navigate to any show’s page and click on the “search” button above the playlist on the left—this will search through all the show’s playlists.
To submit your music to us, please fill out the form below and attach your tunes. Or, email details to music@rtrfm.com.au.
Got a question about submitting your music?
What formats do I need to send?
Best to send a downloadable link as a WAV or high quality MP3. This can be via Google Drive, Dropbox, Soundcloud, Bandcamp or however else you may send larger files.
Please do not attach them to your email.
Send all music to music@rtrfm.com.au
How do I submit physical copies of my music?
While we love physical copies of finished albums and EPs, these must be accompanied with a free digital submission via email as described above. This is to ensure the widest number of presenters have access to your music, greatly increasing your chances of airplay, as compared to a few physical copies. If you’re a local band, you can pop into the office at 642 Beaufort Street, Mt. Lawley and drop off your albums. Otherwise, send your CDs (4 – 5 copies is ideal) to our Music Director:
Annika Moses, PO Box 842 Mount Lawley WA 6929
How do I get feedback on my music?
Due to the high volume of music sent to RTRFM and the large amount of requests for feedback, we are not able to reply to every single person wanting specific and detailed info on why their music may or may not be played on air.
How do I send music to specific presenters?
Contact our Music Director Annika Moses who will forward your submission to the relevant presenters. You can reach him at music@rtrfm.com.au.
Can I play In the Pines / Fremantle Winter Music Festival / an RTRFM gig?
Maybe! Get in touch with our Events & Operations Coordinator Chris Wheeldon at cwheeldon@rtrfm.com.au. Send all the things you’d naturally send to someone booking a gig – a little info about your band, a link to your music and links to your social media profiles. We put on heaps of events every year and we’re always on the lookout for the best bands in Perth to play our live music fundraisers.
