AMRAP recently announced a new opportunity for all Australian unsigned music artists. AirIT is a digital music download distribution system (read “Australian music catalogue”), exclusively available to Australian community radio stations. Previously, only signed artists were eligible to particpate.

Things have now changed. AMRAP recently announced that unsigned artists are now eligible to sign up. “Air It enables labels and unsigned artists to get music to more stations to inspire national impact through community radio.”

For more information on how to get involved, visit the AMRAP’s AirIT website.

AMRAP & AMIN Logos

The Australian Music Radio Airplay Project (Amrap) and The Australian Music Industry Network (AMIN) have announced that Australian Indigenous artists are the first unsigned artists eligible to access Amrap’s AirIT. AirIT is community radio’s exclusive catalogue of Australian music curated by Amrap. Until now artists available on AirIT were mostly signed to major or independent record labels.

Up to three tracks from every Indigenous release recommended by AMIN will be added to Amrap’s AirIT. The partnership will see a number of Indigenous artists added to AirIT each month. For further details and announcements, visit AirIT at the AMRAP website.
