PLEASE READ, important information:
--------
Thank you for your interest in participating! Please note: This form does not guarantee you a time slot! We will curate lineups based off the form submissions that we receive. We will reach out to you when we decide we want to move forward with your mix.
Here's how it works:
After you submit this form, we will reach out to you via your preferred method of contact to book you for your date. DJs, please be advised: mixes must be original, in that they have not been released to or heard by the public. It sucks that we have to say this, but please don't recycle mixes. People notice.
Please try to avoid using mainstream music or unaltered pop culture clips or samples so we can swerve the copyright bots as much as possible. This applies to VJs too- YouTube's bots are capable of detecting things like cartoons or movie clips. We are an underground scene- stick to underground (or all original) music and you'll be Gucci.
You will be given a scheduled time slot and date that your mix will be aired on the CouchFam Twitch channel as well as instructions and deadlines. Your tip links will be displayed on the screen during your time slot similarly to how we displayed artist tip information for CouchFest. We will also post all of your social media contact links that you are about to enter into this form, so please be thorough.
Sets should be right around 60 minutes long. It can be a little under, or a little over, but try to keep it right around 60 minutes. There are no restrictions on what bass music genres to play in your set except for one: NO FUCKING RIDDIM
It is preferred that you submit video for your set. You can film yourself playing your set, you can do your own visuals, or you can work with a VJ to do visuals for you. If submitting video is just way too difficult for you to manage and you'd like to just submit an audio file and have us pair you with a VJ, that's totally chill too! Just let us know what you're planning when we reach out to you to schedule your set.
****After the stream ends, we will post your recorded set to our YouTube channel and on our Soundcloud page (usually within a few days). All of these links are shareable, and all of these links will have your tip and social media information on display. Anytime your content is shared, you have new eyes on your tip links and you increase your chance of making money. Use this to your advantage!
