Waveforth releases independent records to every platform that matters, then pitches them to Spotify curators who work in the genre you write in — and who answer, even when the answer is no.

How it works
Most pitching services go quiet after you pay. Here the whole journey is visible while it happens.
Step 1
Upload your master, your artwork and your metadata. Pick a release date. It takes about five minutes.
Step 2
Distribution goes out to every platform. Your track is matched to curators working in your genre and sent to them with the context they need to judge it.
Step 3
Every response lands in your dashboard as it happens — who listened, who added it, and what they said about it. Links to each platform once the release is live.
What we do not sell
We cannot promise your track gets added. Nobody honest can.
Paying for a guaranteed placement means paying a curator to add a track they have not chosen. Spotify treats that as manipulation, and the consequences land on your release, not on the service that sold it to you.
What you buy here is reach and an answer: your track in front of curators who work in your genre, each of whom listens and replies. Some of those replies will be no, and they will tell you why. That is worth more than a number on an invoice.
Add-ons
Add any of these to a pack at checkout. They are handled by the same people who work on Cascade Records releases.
Your mix finished for streaming, loudness handled properly.
Original artwork, delivered at 3000×3000 and ready to deliver.
Short-form video cut from your track, for Reels and TikTok.
Questions
No, and be careful with anyone who does. You are paying for your track to reach curators who work in your genre and to get a real answer from each of them. Some of those answers will be no. Buying placements outright is against Spotify policy and puts your release at risk, so it is not something we will ever sell you.
Independent playlist curators working in organic house, downtempo, nu disco and adjacent genres, recruited and vetted by Cascade Records. Each one declares the playlists they run, so you can see where your track was sent and who listened to it.
Distribution reaches most platforms within a few days of delivery; we recommend allowing two weeks before your release date so editorial pitching windows stay open. Curators have seven days to answer a pitch, and you see each response as it arrives rather than in one report at the end.
A mastered WAV or FLAC (16 or 24-bit) up to 50 MB, square sRGB cover art (JPEG or PNG) between 1440×1440 and 3000×3000, and your track metadata. Already released? A streaming link is enough for the playlist pitch. If your master or your artwork is not ready, mastering and cover design are available as add-ons.
No. You pay once per release and keep every cent your music earns. We do not take a percentage, we do not claim your publishing, and we do not ask for exclusivity.
Waveforth is run by Cascade Records, a Paris label releasing organic house, downtempo and nu disco since 2009. The curator network and the ear behind it come from fifteen years of running a catalogue in these genres.
Upload a track, choose a pack, and watch where it travels. It takes about five minutes to start.
