[New Initiative] Release Support in Partnership with Discord Community
A-indie / BELONG Media has launched a new initiative to provide stronger support for artists’ releases by partnering with our Discord community.
Why not deliver your pre-release tracks to passionate music listeners around the world and publish “your unique release article” featuring their authentic voices to a global audience?
This new initiative provides the following three services as a package:
1. Exclusive Pre-Release Preview in Discord Community
Within this community, we limit access to a trusted subset of members (approximately 15 people) who will preview your valuable pre-release tracks.
By limiting sharing to DMs and implementing a URL tracking system, we minimize the risk of information leakage while obtaining high-quality, global feedback.
2. Addition to A-indie / BELONG Media Official Playlists
Tracks introduced through the pre-release preview will be added to our curated Spotify playlists, helping to reach more listeners.
- 🌏A-indie～good indie music in Asia✨～
- BELONG Recommend Songs
3. Publication of Japanese and English Release Articles Featuring Comments from Preview Members
By including comments from community members who actually listened to the track, we can convey a story that resonates with readers in a way no other media can.
Additionally, by publishing the same article on our sister site A-indie, which is entirely in English, we can fully convey the appeal of your music to global listeners.
[Release Article Examples]
Here are articles that were actually published after going through the pre-release preview initiative:
Participation Requirements
