Submit your track
Get your music played live on the show and run through CWI's audio analysis and verification tools on air. Every week: the song plays, the tool gets demoed live on it, the hosts rate it and publish the results. Send us a link — our team reviews every submission.
How it works
- You send a link. Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, Audiomack — wherever the track lives. No uploads, no portals, no accounts to create. One link, your name, your email.
- Our team reviews every submission. A human listens — the hosts pick the tracks that make the week's show. Submission is not a guarantee of airplay; selection is the hosts' call.
- The song plays live on air. The track runs on "CWI Lab: Signal Sessions," and while it plays, CWI's audio analysis and verification tools get demoed on it — live, in front of the audience. Loudness, spectral profile, structure: the machine reads your record in real time.
- The hosts rate it and publish the results. Scores, ratings, and commentary go out with the episode — on CWI's sites, socials, and press materials. Your track gets played, analyzed, and talked about in one move.
The consent checkbox in the form covers exactly this: permission to play the track on the show and podcast, run the analysis tools on it, and publish the scores and commentary. You keep your copyright — this is a non-exclusive license for the show and its promotion only. The full terms sit below the form; read them before you submit.
FAQ
What is CWI Lab: Signal Sessions?
A weekly show from Cumulative Web Inc where submitted tracks get played live and run through CWI's audio analysis and verification tools on air. The song plays, the tool gets demoed on it, the hosts rate it — and the results get published.
What do I submit?
A link to the track — Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, Audiomack, wherever it lives. You must own or control the rights to the music you submit, including any samples or co-writer shares, so that playing it on the show won't violate any agreement with a label, distributor, or publisher.
Does submitting guarantee my track gets played?
No. Every submission gets reviewed by our team, but CWI decides what goes on the show in its sole discretion. Submit your strongest record — the one you'd want analyzed live in front of an audience.
What rights am I granting?
A non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to: play the track (or portions of it) on the show — live broadcast, stream, podcast episode, replays, clips, and highlights; run CWI's audio analysis, verification, and scoring tools on it, including AI-based analysis; and publish the results — scores, ratings, graphics, and the hosts' commentary — in the episode and across CWI's channels and press materials. You keep ownership of your music. This is not a distribution deal, a publishing deal, or a sync license.
Is there any payment?
No — there is no payment, royalty, or compensation for submitting or being featured. Artists submit voluntarily for the promotional value of the feature: airplay, live analysis, and published results.
How will I hear back?
We contact you at the email you provide about your submission. If you want your data deleted at any point, email [email protected] with the subject "Delete my submission" and we'll remove your personal details and stop contacting you.
Privacy. What we collect: your name, artist name, email address, track link, and your consent checkbox confirmation.

Retention: we keep submissions for as long as we run the Show, plus a reasonable archive period afterward. If you want your data deleted, email [email protected] with the subject "Delete my submission" and we will remove your personal details and stop contacting you.
