Yes. Cologne playlist curators feature artists from across Germany and internationally. Electronic, indie, and hip-hop curators are especially open to artists from anywhere if the sound fits their playlist aesthetic.

Cologne curators cover a wide range including techno, house, indie rock, alternative pop, hip-hop, and experimental sounds. The city's heritage in electronic music and krautrock still influences many curators today, while the Ehrenfeld district fuels a growing indie and alternative scene. Curators like those connected to the Kompakt circles or local indie communities often explore hybrid genres that blend electronic and organic elements.

On Groover, playlist curators have 7 days to respond. If they don't reply, you get your credits back, so you never waste time waiting.
