For artists

Play. Mix. Talk.

Three ways in. Nobody buys a slot here.

Play a room

A booked set at an ICS night. Your lane, your selection, your hour. Not a support slot and not a warm-up for someone else’s name.

Guest mix

A recorded mix for ICS Radio and New Music Mondays. You send it, we run it, credited to you and linked back.

Interview

A long conversation, published as a written feature in your own words. You read it and approve it before it goes live.

What you get

A straight answer

Some sets are paid, some are not. Which one it is gets said in writing before you commit, never after. Nobody here finds out on the night.

  • Documented. Photographer and video on the night, footage back to you at no cost and no conditions.
  • The room. Dark, tight, low light, people who came for the music.
  • Promotion across the ICS channels and the Ground Crew list.

What this is not

No pay to play

  • Nobody buys a slot. Ever.
  • No corporate playlist. Nobody hands you a set list.
  • No corporate sponsorship, so nothing you play is somebody’s ad.

Sending it

What we need

  • A mix link. One is enough.
  • One line on your lane. What you play and where it comes from.
  • Your socials, and which of the three you are up for.

There is no form. Reply to the email and that is the submission.

The 24 September bill is closed. This is for the summer season and for ICS Radio.

How we cover people

ICS has run artist features since the beginning. Word On The Street for the ones coming up. In The Cut for the DJs. Serato Presents In The Mix for the selectors.

They are still running. The names change.
