DistroVibe accepts releases across every musical style. Because global streaming services and digital download platforms enforce structured metadata taxonomies, selecting the most accurate genre ensures your music lands in the right recommendation engines, algorithmic mixes, and genre-specific charts (such as Beatport, Traxsource, and Apple Music).
If your precise micro-genre is not listed as a primary option in the Uploader, choose the broader style that best represents your sound.
