Our DJs have a unique sense of identity.  They are ethical,  conscientious and passionate about the music they play. 

GSR strives for Brilliance!  

GSR has a good ear for quality, which means we can only accept music that has been submitted to a high standard, so that recording artists, their music and the radio station are well presented.

  Dear Emerging Artists,

If you want your music played, promoted, here’s what you need to know:

• 1. DJs spend hours curating each show.
  They listen to hundreds of tracks, research artists, sort through files, translate foreign titles, and build playlists that honour your work. This takes time—and most do it for free.
• 2. Most independent DJs pay to be on a station.
  Yes, you read that correctly. Many pay £20–£25 a month just for the privilege of sharing your music. Station owners spend thousands every year to stay on air.
• 3. When you send your track to goldstandardradio@gmail.com, please include:
• Your artist name
• The song title (with English translation if applicable)
• Release date
• A short story or context behind the track
• Proper metadata in the file
• Your social handles
• Genre 
• A biography telling us how many famous people you’ve opened for is optional. But a short meaningful story behind the inspiration behind the track is essential.
• 4. Please acknowledge DJs when they support you.
  A simple comment, repost, or thank-you goes a long way. DJs promote you to help your career—not because they have to, but because they believe in your work.
• 5. This is a partnership.
  Artists and DJs rely on each other. You create the music; DJs amplify it. When both sides communicate, the music travels farther, faster, and with more impact. We want to help you succeed—just help us help you.
