Submitting your music to CJSW is easy, fun and can help you get a following in Calgary and beyond! To submit your music for airplay at CJSW (or any other campus/community station for that matter) just follow these simple directions. If you’re looking for a complete list of campus/community radio stations across Canada, please visit www.earshot-online.com. For a list of what you shouldn’t do when sending your disc to radio (our station or otherwise), click here.

All submissions to CJSW should be addressed as follows:

CJSW Radio
Attn: Music Director
Rm. 312 MacEwan Hall
2500 University Dr. N.W.
Calgary, AB, Canada
T2N 1N4
Or sent to: music [at] cjsw [dot] com

The record
CJSW accepts music in all forms (CD, record, cassette and high quality mp3).

For physical releases, place your unwrapped record in an envelope, preferably with some sort of protective padding either around the CD or in a padded envelope itself. Sometimes those mail-sorting machines aren’t as careful as we would like. Having a spine on your record with the artist name and record title clearly displayed will dramatically help the chances of a DJ picking your record up for airplay.

For digital releases, send a download link to your record, preferably archived as a ZIP file. All the tracks must have proper metadata (id3 tags) for the artist, album and track title. Tagging the track number and release year is also nice.

The one sheet
Include a one sheet in the envelope or digital archive. A one sheet is an industry standard that includes the following information on one page: artist name, album title, record label name, release date, album track list, a couple recommended tracks, tracks containing obscenities, a small bio and press quotes (optional). It is also very helpful if some of this information is printed on a small sticker and stuck to the artwork of the CD, as this makes the information readily available to DJs.

Followup
If you wish to follow up, give a couple of weeks to allow your record to be received and reviewed. At this time you may either call or email the Music Director:
