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, T&TA - thanks for the submission. Your track has a cool energy and some interesting sound choices. I liked the distant vocal and that fluttering sound. The atmosphere is good. However, I wanted a stronger, more memorable motif, and the drop after the intro was a little underwhelming to me. It feels like a WI...
1 day ago · Open threadHey there, YWAG - thanks for the submission. I thought your track had a real brooding energy and a full sound. I liked the electronic elements - that gave it some extra texture. I thought there were lots of ideas in there. The vocal has good variation and expression. For me, the mix sounded a little muddy in places tho...
1 day ago · Open threadHey there, thanks for the submission. Your track has good energy and lots of ideas. I thought the changes and the variations kept things constantly moving. The mix is warm, but I thought it was a little over compressed overall - things were too squashed together imo. The vocal gels well into the track, but I wanted mor...
5 days ago · Open threadHey there, Echovayn - thanks for the submission. Your track has an intense sound and bags of energy. There are lots of ideas, fills and variations, which is cool. For me, the vocal tone was very generic and lacking in a unique character or tone. Overall, the mix is very smooth and compressed, but lacked dynamics and so...
1 week ago · Open threadHey there, Kevin - thanks for the submission. Your track has a really warm, tactile sound and a nice, mellow soulfulness. The sentiment is heartfelt and I could feel the sincerity in the lyrics and the story. For me, the arrangement and some of the sound choices did feel slightly dated to me. I usually go for more mode...
1 week ago · Open threadHey there, CX2 Ryder - thanks for the submission. Your track has a really kitsch sound and loads of energy. For me, the melody never really took off or did anything that was surprising or memorable though. The vocal got a bit lost under all the processing too. I did like the space in the mix and the constant flow of id...
2 weeks ago · Open threadHey there, Yashua - thanks for the submission. Your track has a unique sound and real home-made, underground feel. The vocal has character, but the mix is very unbalanced. The vocal goes from way too quiet to way too loud. The flow and the sung parts are quite basic and feel quite stiff and mono-tone. The backing has s...
2 weeks ago · Open threadHey 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...
3 weeks 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...
3 weeks 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...
