Underground Talent is an independent electronic-music publication and discovery platform operated by PixelPro Solutions Ltd, trading as Underground Talent. We offer defined promotional production services alongside our independently selected editorial coverage.
What you can request
You can apply for a Release Feature (200–350 words), In-depth Release Feature (500–800 words), or written Artist Interview / Q&A (5–7 tailored questions). A seven-day Homepage Spotlight may be requested alongside an approved feature or interview, subject to available slots and the suitability of the published content. Other promotional formats marked “Coming Soon” are not currently available to purchase.
How submissions work
- Submit your contact details, project introduction, and a secure listening link. Submitting an application is free.
- Our team reviews relevance, rights, available capacity, timing and completeness. We may accept, decline or ask for more information.
- Acceptance of an application does not automatically create a charge. Before payment, we confirm the agreed deliverables, total amount (including any applicable taxes), timing, payment method and cancellation or refund terms.
- When an agreed payment is confirmed, we invite you to supply a creative brief with biography, press materials, links and credits. The team produces and checks the material manually before scheduling or publication.
Editorial independence and disclosure
Paid promotional content will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content. Buying promotional work does not buy a positive review, an independent editorial recommendation, a particular ranking, a promised audience reach or guaranteed results. Our independently commissioned coverage remains separate from paid services. We may decline or withdraw unlawful, misleading or rights-infringing material, in accordance with the agreed service and applicable consumer law.
Images, music and information
You must have permission to supply the music, images, portraits, logos, statements and any other press materials and to authorise their use for the agreed promotional deliverables. Provide accurate credits and let us know about restrictions. We do not need account passwords, payment card numbers or identity documents in the submission form. Links to external press kits should be accessible to the editorial team.
Payment, delivery and cancellation
Prices are displayed in euros. The applicable final total and any taxes will be confirmed before a payment link is issued. We do not request payment for rejected applications. Any agreed timing begins from the confirmation of payment and receipt of complete materials, subject to the written agreement. If we cannot provide an agreed paid service, contact us for an appropriate refund or resolution. Statutory cancellation and consumer rights continue to apply; where performance starts during a statutory cancellation period, we will separately explain any lawful early-start consent requirements before charging.
Homepage Spotlight
Homepage Spotlight is an optional paid placement linked to approved published coverage. Subject to confirmed availability and completion of the related article, a placement runs for seven consecutive days from its scheduled start time, after which it stops appearing automatically. Dates and any adjustments must be agreed before activation. Payment alone does not reserve a particular calendar week unless we confirm it.
Advertisers, sponsors and invited collaborations
Brands, SaaS companies, music-technology developers, agencies, event promoters and publishers can apply for our introductory fixed-price services: Sponsored Guest Post €89 (client-supplied original article, 600–1,200 words, editorial review, formatting and one relevant qualified sponsored link); Sponsored Product Feature €149 (UT-written, factual product presentation, 600–900 words); and Website Sponsorship €49 for 7 days or €129 for 30 days (a clearly labelled placement, with its position, dates and availability agreed before payment). Custom Campaigns start from €199 and receive an individual quote.
Submitting a commercial request is free. Prices are in euros and introductory; they do not guarantee acceptance. UT reviews relevance, rights, content and capacity before approving a request. The precise deliverables, timing, any applicable tax, additional work and cancellation terms are confirmed before checkout. Website sponsorship is a specific agreed placement, not an automatic guarantee of the homepage or any audience result.
Sponsored Guest Posts and Product Features are promotional services, not a route to independent editorial endorsement. Guest-post content must be original, accurate, useful to our electronic-music audience and appropriate for publication. Paid placements are disclosed and commercial outbound links are qualified with rel="sponsored" or another appropriate value. We do not sell favourable reviews, guaranteed search rankings, ranking-passing links or guaranteed traffic.
On either promotion page, applicants may choose Request Invitation. This is a request for consideration, not an automatic free booking. Only an authorised UT administrator can approve a fee waiver, and the approval will identify the exact service, deliverables and conditions covered. Other services, placements or later campaigns are not automatically included. Invited content still follows our relevance, rights, editorial-approval and advertising-disclosure rules.
Privacy and contact
We use submission and creative-brief information to assess requests, coordinate production, provide service communications, and keep a limited internal audit trail. Submitting does not subscribe you to a marketing mailing list. See our Privacy Policy for broader information about personal data and contact us using our contact page for access, corrections, privacy questions or service issues. This policy supplements the site’s Terms and Conditions.
These guidelines describe the intake workflow. Any individual paid engagement is subject to its confirmed written service details and applicable law.
