If you would like to submit music to KUCI for possible
airplay, please mail a CD, CD-R, vinyl record, cassette tape, 8-track,
or wax cylinder with a track listing to the following address:
KUCI 88.9 FM
c/o Music Director
PO Box 4362
Irvine, CA 92616
Please make sure that your package will withstand
the hardships of snail mail.
At this time, we do not accept digital
submissions, and furthermore, will
most
likely
not
listen
to your
MySpace page.
We are a volunteer run station and there is simply not enough
hours in the day to spend downloading MP3s and waiting for MySpace
players.
Plus, MySpace's audio quality is awful and not at all radio-ready.
If you've already submitted your music to be played
and are curious if it has been added to our new release section,
you are welcome to send an email inquiring so but, again, there
is not enough time for us to reply personally to every artist who
has mailed us music. Instead, please check kuci.org and
take a look at weekly adds and charts to see if your record is
being played. Once in a while, we may have a moment to tell you,
Yes, your CD is spinning! More often than not, though, we have
already spent many hours poring over dozens of CDs (including
yours) and really can't turn around and tell everyone if they've
made the cut or not.
If your music is of a certain genre, you may want
to address your package as such: if it is a
l CD, or an experimental
CD, so on — please replace "Music Director" in
the above mailing address with "(Genre) Director." Furthermore,
if you want to mail your CD to a particular host, who perhaps plays
the same kind of music as yours, please do so! Simply replace "Music
Director" in the above mailing address with "(Show Host/Show
Name)." This is an excellent way to get in touch with DJs
who are perhaps more likely to play your particular brand of music
as you aren't lost in the much larger "Rock" heap.
Remember, we at KUCI strive to play music that is
DISTINCT from what you hear on commercial, mainstream radio. With
this said, please look at our program schedule prior to mailing
us your music and make sure you are not wasting your own or our
time. Seriously!
Basically, just remember you are sending your music
to a real human person who has probably a million real human things
going on in their life: we WILL listen to your music and if we
think it fits our programming and philosophy it WILL be played.
Lastly, do not email anyone other than the Music
Directors about your music being played on KUCI. Do NOT contact
the Program Director, the General Manager, Promotions Director,
et cetera; emailing everyone about your band is never a good idea,
and more often than not, a ticket to the reject pile.
Bearing all aforementioned in mind, hit the post
office!
