DISKANT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING GENERAL SUBMISSIONS FOR REVIEW.

You can still contact our writers directly if you think you have something of interest to them – many of them write for other sites too.

Whatever you do, PLEASE DO NOT add these addresses to your mailing list without permission. If the only way you can contact us is via mass mailings then we’re not interested. Repeat offenders will be added to our domain blacklist, which means none of us will see your emails ever again. Thank you for not spamming us.

The reviewers

PASCAL ANSELL (pascalansell AT gmail DOT com) – Leeds
Jazz, electronica, folk, improv, post-rock, DUOS! Anything original, experimental and exciting. No rehashed indie. No MP3s please. Repeat – No MP3s. Ever. At all.

STUART FOWKES (stuart AT diskant DOT net) – Oxford
Electronica, hip hop, experimental, noise and anything combining bleeps and guitars. Also anything really, heart-rendingly miserable.

JGRAM (jgram AT aol DOT com) – Colchester / London
I enjoy most genres of music and will happily listen to almost anything for review with enthusiasm. I will NOT review MP3s as it is not a proper format in my opinion.

ALEX MCCHESNEY (alex.mcchesney AT gmail DOT com) – Texas, USA
I’ll give almost anything a fair listen, but have a penchant for electronica, noise, left-field folk and general weirdness.

SIMON MINTER (simonminter AT fouriertransform DOT com) – Oxford
I’ll review anything that doesn’t make me feel like tearing press releases up before driving them into my ears with a hammer drill.

MARCELINE SMITH (diskant-overlord AT diskant DOT net) – Glasgow
Books and zines only, unless you already know me and think I would love your new band.

JUSTIN SNOW (justinsnow AT diskant DOT net) – Massachusetts, USA
I’ll listen to mostly anything but certain things are more appealing than others. Noise, drone, ambient, black metal, or anything that takes a traditional genre to the next level. I prefer physical submissions (tape/vinyl/CD); context and packaging are essential.

DAVE STOCKWELL (dstockwell AT diskant DOT net) – Nottingham
I love music that pushes boundaries, experiments or just does something that renders it unplayable on radio.

MANDY WILLIAMS (mandywilliams AT diskant DOT net) – Liverpool
Indie, alt country, lo-fi, folksy, post punk. No vinyl or mp3s please.
