FAQ

What can be submitted, who can contribute, what metadata helps, and what happens after a release goes in.

For contributors

Submit cleanly, then understand what happens next

This FAQ covers scope, ownership, review expectations, and the classification steps that affect where a release appears after submission.

Who can submit a release to Psychill Space?

Anyone with an account can submit a missing release through the release submission flow. The system is designed for listeners, collectors, artists, labels, and scene participants who want to help the archive grow.

What kind of release can I submit?

You should submit releases that fit the broader psychill and psychedelic electronic scope of the platform. If the music clearly belongs to the surrounding listening culture and scene, it is usually a good candidate.

Do I need to be the artist or label to submit something?

No. You do not need to own the release to submit it. The database is community-built, so listeners can also help document important music that is missing.

What is the easiest way to submit a release?

The easiest path is to start with a Bandcamp link when one exists. That helps prefill basic information such as artist name, release title, artwork, release date, and track list.

What information should I prepare before submitting?

The most useful inputs are the artist name, release title, cover art, track list, release date, and a reliable source link. Accurate metadata makes review and discovery much smoother.

How long does review take?

Review time can vary. Some submissions move quickly, while others need more verification or community input before they are fully integrated into the main discovery surfaces.

What happens after I submit a release?

A submitted release gets its own page and can enter the classification flow. From there, listeners can help profile tracks, vote, and gradually make the release more complete and more visible across the site.

Why is my release not showing everywhere yet?

Not every submission appears in every discovery surface immediately. Some areas depend on classification progress, completed profiling, and enough community input to make the release useful in browsing systems.

Can I edit or correct a submission later?

Corrections and improvements are part of maintaining the database. If something is wrong or incomplete, the right next step is to contact the team or use the appropriate correction path rather than leaving bad data in place.

Why does classification matter after submission?

Classification helps the platform understand how a release should surface in discovery tools. Better profiling and enough community input make the archive more useful for everyone else who comes after you.
