DSP Pitching & Editorial Placements

DIMBER pitches your releases directly to DSP editorial teams — one channel, every major platform, no pitching each DSP individually.

DIMBER is your pitch channel to every major DSP.

DIMBER has direct relationships across major platform editorial ecosystems and pitches releases on your behalf. You do not need to prepare separate editorial submissions for each DSP individually because DIMBER handles the pitching process across the major platforms it works with.

How It Works

Submit your release early

Editorial pitching works best when you submit 4-6 weeks before your target release date, while standard releases usually need 3-4 weeks. If you submit less than 2 weeks before release, you create a high risk of missing platform deadlines and losing pitching opportunities. See DSP delivery timeframes.

DIMBER reviews for pitchability

DIMBER reviews each release for the details that make a pitch stronger, including clean metadata, accurate genres and moods, strong release context, and consistency of output. This review helps make sure the release story matches what DSP editorial teams need to evaluate.

Once a release is ready, DIMBER pitches it across the major DSP editorial ecosystems where it has direct relationships. That gives your release one coordinated pitch channel instead of separate outreach for each platform.

Editorial decisions are made by the DSPs

DIMBER can pitch your release, but placement decisions always belong to the DSPs. Editorial support is never guaranteed, even when a release is submitted early and fully optimized.

What DIMBER Looks For in a Pitchable Release

DIMBER pitches releases more effectively when the story, metadata, and artist presence all support the same case for attention.

  • Accurate and complete metadata so the release is easy for platforms to process and evaluate
  • Well-chosen genres and moods that reflect the music honestly
  • Real context such as tour dates, press coverage, social momentum, or visible fanbase growth
  • Consistent release cadence that shows ongoing artist activity
  • Clean profile setup across DSPs so editors see a complete and credible artist presence

Lead Times

For editorial pitching, submit your release 4-6 weeks before the release date.

Spotify specifically requires editorial pitching before the release date. Once a track is already released, it can no longer be pitched for editorial consideration on Spotify. See Spotify playlist pitching.

Standard releases usually need 3-4 weeks of lead time. If you submit less than 2 weeks before release, you increase the chance that your music will not be live everywhere on release day and reduce the time available for editorial review.

Which Platforms DIMBER Pitches To

DIMBER pitches across the major DSP editorial ecosystems it works with, including:

  • Spotify
  • Apple Music
  • Amazon Music
  • YouTube Music
  • Deezer
  • TIDAL

Each platform makes its own editorial decisions, but DIMBER's relationships span across these major ecosystems so your release can be presented through one coordinated channel.

Tips for Getting Pitched

Give your release the best chance of being pitched by focusing on the factors DIMBER and DSP editorial teams can actually evaluate.

  • Submit early and aim for 4-6 weeks before release
  • Pitch every eligible release so momentum builds over time
  • Keep metadata clean and accurate across titles, credits, genres, and release details
  • Build real context through shows, press, creator support, and social growth
  • Maintain a consistent release schedule instead of long inactive gaps
  • Ensure your DSP profiles are claimed and optimized before the release goes live
