How to Submit a Demo to Tru Thoughts
Getting your demo accepted by Tru Thoughts requires a track that matches their sound and meets professional production standards. Here are key tips:
- Match the genre and BPM. Tru Thoughts releases Downtempo, Organic House / Downtempo, Ambient / Chill music in the 70–125 BPM range. Make sure your track fits.
- Meet the quality threshold. Aim for a mix quality score of at least 65/100. Pay attention to loudness, frequency balance, and stereo imaging.
- Follow submission guidelines. Send a private SoundCloud or streaming link — not a raw file. Include a short bio and any relevant release history.
- Be patient. Labels receive hundreds of demos. Allow 2–4 weeks for a response, and do not send follow-ups within that window.
