Test Press

Started in 2005 by the Electronic and Dance Music Committee of the San Francisco Chapter of The Recording Academy, Test Press was created by a handful of industry insiders (The Test Press Committee) with a grassroots mentality designed to bring DJs, musicians, vocalists, and producers together to present new music to the community.

The next Test Press is on Thursday, September 30th.

Note: All tracks submitted must be no longer than 3 minutes 30 seconds.

You may submit either a section of the song with fade-in / fade-outs, or produce a shortened "radio edit".

Songs longer than 3:30 will not be considered. This is to benefit you!

We want to make sure we hear the best parts of your track. Because of the number of submissions, it's difficult for us to listen to each track thoroughly. By cutting the submission length, we can get right to the part that you think shows off your skills the best.

Good luck! And thanks!

- The Test Press Team
