Music Release Planner for DJs and Independent Artists
Releasing music involves far more than uploading a track. Artists have to manage preparation, promotion, content, DJ outreach, deadlines and release-day activity. Organised Producer turns all of that into a structured plan on one calendar.
Stop cramming everything into release week
The most common release problem is trying to complete every promo, content and outreach task in the last few days. A proper release planner spreads that work back across the weeks before release, so launch day is calm rather than chaotic.
Build a release plan
Set your release date and get a structured plan of pre-release, release-day and post-release tasks laid out across the calendar.
Organise your promotional campaign
Turn promo into a series of small, scheduled tasks - content, teasers, DJ outreach and announcements - instead of a scramble the week before release.
Track important deadlines
Artwork, mastering, distribution cut-offs and label deliverables sit on the same timeline as your studio and gig commitments.
Manage multiple releases
Handle several releases in parallel and see where they overlap, so you can rebalance work before deadlines collide.
DJ and label outreach
Log the DJs and labels you've sent tracks to, track support and feedback, and keep follow-ups on the calendar.
Release-day activity
A dedicated release-day section makes sure the launch itself has its own tasks - announcements, links, thank-yous and promo pushes.
Connect release planning with your wider calendar
Release tasks sit alongside gigs, studio sessions and daily plans, so your release campaign fits realistically into your week.
Frequently asked questions
What is a music release planner?
A music release planner is a structured way to schedule everything that happens around a track release - artwork, mastering, distribution deadlines, promo content, DJ outreach, release-day activity and post-release follow-up - so nothing gets left to the last minute.
How far in advance should I plan a release?
Most independent artists benefit from planning six to twelve weeks ahead of the release date. That leaves room for mastering, distribution lead times, artwork, promo content and DJ outreach without a last-minute rush.
How can I organise music promotion?
Organised Producer builds promo tasks into your release plan and spreads them across the weeks before and after release, so promotional activity happens steadily rather than as a burst on release day.
Can I use a release planner for multiple releases?
Yes. When several releases overlap, the calendar shows every deadline together and the workload balancer can spread flexible tasks across quieter days so no single week gets crushed.
Can I use Organised Producer as an independent artist?
Absolutely. The app is designed for independent DJs, producers and artists releasing their own music, whether that is through a label, distributor or direct-to-fan.
