I would never buy fake plays, and I strongly suggest you don’t either. You risk getting your material taken down, your account suspended, or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I received an email from Vicky Edward of Midnite Blaster<\/a>, an electronic music marketing agency based in Melbourne, Australia, I was skeptical. She assured me that their SoundCloud promotional service is totally transparent and completely safe. As a longtime follower of the blog, she offered me a discount to try out and potentially review the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way it works is, they have permissions for hundreds of artist, label, and influencer SoundCloud accounts to repost tracks for 24 hours. Simple enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s rough pricing as of November 2018:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

150\u20ac 3M+ total followers, 6K – 12K plays guaranteed
300\u20ac 6M+ total followers, 14K – 25K plays guaranteed
500\u20ac 15M+ total followers, 30K – 50K plays guaranteed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don’t accept every track and the minimum number of guaranteed plays varies depending on the genre and the quality of the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u00a0focus on peak hour EDM, bass music, dubstep, and trap, so Vicky didn’t expect spectacular results from my synthwave stuff. She recommended going with my vaguely EDM-ish 10-minute instrumental “The Past Yet to Come”. I opted for the middle package ($340 retail at current exchange rates) for 16K guaranteed plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
