Upload your music to The Beat/Âé¶¹Éç Music Introducing
If you're in a band, a solo artist or a bedroom producer and you want to get the music you're making played on Âé¶¹Éç radio, upload your tracks to Âé¶¹Éç Music Introducing.
If you enter an East Midlands postcode when you register, your songs go straight into Dean Jackson's inbox.
You'll be notified automatically when your tracks are listened to by someone at the Âé¶¹Éç or if they're going to be broadcast. If we like what we hear, you might even bag yourself a session or a slot on the Âé¶¹Éç Introducing festival stage.
