SoAlive Music Conference and Audiomack are launching New Music Balkans, a new flagship playlist and regional discovery initiative dedicated to music from across the Balkan region.
Curated by SoAlive Music Conference in partnership with Audiomack, New Music Balkans will feature new releases and standout tracks from emerging and established artists working across genres — from pop, rap, R&B and electronic music to alternative, rock, jazz, club sounds and everything in between.
Alongside the flagship playlist, selected artists may also be featured in dedicated “Best of…” country playlists across the region.
The initiative is designed to create a shared place for Balkan music discovery on Audiomack — helping artists reach new listeners, connect across borders and bring their music to wider regional audiences.
Open Call for Balkan Artists
We are now opening submissions for artists from the Balkans who want their music to be considered for the initiative.
Selected tracks may be featured in:
• New Music Balkans — our flagship cross-border playlist
• “Best of…” country playlists across the Balkan region
Selected tracks will be pushed directly into Audiomack’s Balkan Regional Trending Charts and to over 216K active users in the region.
Standout independent artists will also be eligible for complimentary Boost campaign credits provided by Audiomack, giving selected tracks additional visibility and support on the platform.
How to apply?
1. Create or update your artist profile on Audiomack.
2. Upload your music on the platform.
3. Fill out the submission form.
Submissions will be reviewed weekly on a rolling basis by the editorial team, and the playlists will be continuously updated with new discoveries from across the region.
Why This Matters?
The Balkan music scene is moving fast.
Across the region, artists are building new sounds, new communities and new careers — often across languages, genres and borders. New Music Balkans is created to support that movement and give artists another direct channel to reach audiences beyond their immediate local scenes.
This is not just a playlist.
It is a new way for artists to connect with listeners across the region.
A new opportunity for Balkan music to travel further.
A new platform for discovery, visibility and cross-border exchange.
Whether you are an emerging artist, an independent act, a producer, a band or a songwriter releasing your next track — this open call is for you.
Upload your tracks to Audiomack and fill out the submission form.
Let’s get Balkan music heard across the region.
