Grubby
I look for strong melodies, unique sounds & memorable atmospheres. Incredible tunes from unknown, undiscovered artists. I take great care to keep my playlists top quality, so please LISTEN to the playlist first (very important!), and if you think your tune will fit - send it to me! Submissions will get a full listen (probably multiple!) & detailed, constructive feedback. Tracks that earn a place aren’t rotated out after a week or two - they stay until new additions gradually push them to the bottom, meaning most tracks stick around for a few months. Finally, please - no AI music.

Hey there, thanks for the submission. Your track has a bright sound and loads of energy. The build-up takes a while and increases the tension well. For me, the mix was quite harsh in the upper mids, and it lacked a warmth and decent sub in those kicks and bass line. The vocal is pitch perfect, but lacked an interesting...
1 week ago · Open threadHey there, James - thanks for the submission. Your track has a really raw, gnarly sound which I thought was fun. There's bag of energy and lots of ideas in here. I did like the tone of the guitars especially. For me, the drums get a little lost in the mix though. I wanted a fuller, crisper drum sound with better transi...
1 week ago · Open threadHey there, thanks for the submission. Your track has a decent energy and a very traditional pop-rock vibe. Because of this, it did feel slightly dated to me. Melodically, there were some nice moments, but overall it was a bit too safe and predictable imo. I prefer slightly edgier songs with a more modern sound, and wit...
1 week ago · Open threadHey there, Ronin 888 - thanks for the submission. your track has a crisp, bright sound and some nice atmospherics. The backing is quite simple - no bad thing - but I wanted a bit more variation or development as it does get a little repetitive after a while. The vocal is ok, but I'm not a big fan of auto-tune, and as t...

1 week ago · Open threadHey there, Tony - thanks for the submission. I thought your track had a great atmosphere. Really warm and smooth. I thought the sound choices were really nice too, with a tactile feel. The vocal sample creates a cool, cinematic vibe. Nice job!
2 weeks ago · Open threadHey there, Anka - thanks for the submission. I thought your track had a really nice, punchy sound and lots of energy. It's an infectious sound for sure. There's plenty of character in the vocal and lots of ideas in the track. So it really just comes down the song itself. Whilst I thought it was put together well and it...
2 weeks ago · Open threadHey there, Anka - thanks for the submission! your track has a really nice, warm sound. It's got that classic blues grit and heart. I thought the band sounded great, and the harmonies were a nice touch (although I thought they got slightly pitchy just after halfway). For me, the song just didn't really connect with me....
2 weeks ago · Open threadHey there, Nashville Exile - thanks for the submission! Your track has good energy, and a warm, punchy sound. It bounces along nicely, and is a fun ride fs. For me, the main motif was a little too simple - I bet it's great for a live singalong, but for my playlists I usually look for slightly darker, edgier tracks with...
2 weeks ago · Open threadHey there, Anka - thanks for the submission. Your track has a really atmospheric, dramatic vibe. It almost feels like a musical or film soundtrack. I liked the simple arrangement and the mix is solid. I thought the vocal had a warm tone and plenty of character. For me, the song itself is good, but never quite took off...
