Burngreave Community Radio
Community · FM 103.1
Plays a wide range of music and is active in the local community.
Ask to hear songs they've recorded in your genre. Check whether the hourly rate includes an engineer, and whether mixing and mastering cost extra. A cheaper room with an engineer who knows your sound beats an expensive room with one who doesn't.
Practice the song until you can do it in a few takes. Bring your beat or stems, your lyrics and a reference track that sounds like what you want. Studio time goes fast when you're figuring things out in the booth.
Ask for a mastered final, a clean radio edit and an instrumental. Then run it through our free radio-ready check and pitch it with our guide to submitting music to radio stations.
Every Independent Radio FM member is accepted. Send one song a week and it airs on a Saturday show with a personal DJ review.
