Top playlists for new wave

You can send your track directly to new wave playlist pros & curators on Groover. Browse playlists that match your style, select the ones you want to contact, and submit your track. Each curator listens and responds within 7 days.

Playlist pros & curators want quality production, a clear style identity, and tracks that fit their playlist vibe. If you make synth-pop, they look for catchy melodies. For post-punk and dark wave, they want atmosphere and originality. Always check what artists are already on the playlist before you submit.

New wave playlists are where fans discover synth-pop, post-punk, dark wave and cold wave artists. The genre has a dedicated global audience that actively explores playlists for retro and modern takes on the sound. Getting playlisted means reaching listeners who already love the genre.

Make sure your production quality matches the playlist level. Write a short, personal message explaining your sound and influences. Target playlists that actually feature your subgenre, whether that's melodic synth-pop or darker post-punk. Authenticity matters more than trying to fit every playlist.

Every playlist curator on Groover responds within 7 days or you get your credits back. Response rates vary, but you'll always get feedback. Some curators will add your track, others will share advice. Not every submission gets playlisted, but you'll learn what works and connect with real music pros.
