Apply for a Spot on the Jury

Change the
quality standard
everywhere.

This isn't a job. This is a calling. We are looking for the ones who can feel the difference — the ones who can listen beyond the sound.

Who we're looking for

If you've ever stood
on a dancefloor and known

If you've ever said: "This music is alive." Or… "This music is dead."

If you can tell when a track has a soul. If you feel when music touches something deeper, or when it falls flat — then this message is for you.

We are building a movement. A movement that honors intention in music. That brings back meaning, feeling, resonance.

And we are looking for you — the ones who can feel the difference. The ones who can listen beyond the sound. The ones who can tell: "this moves me, this doesn't — and here's why."

"This isn't a job. This is a calling."
What the Jury Does

Listen. Together.

Evaluate submissions

Tracks, sets and events submitted for the Intentional Seal. The jury listens — often together, sometimes apart — then votes on whether the spark is there.

Articulate intention

Not just "I like it" or "I don't." You explain — in words, voice, writing — why you felt intention (or didn't). Over time, a shared vocabulary forms.

Shape the standard

As the jury grows, it refines what "intentional" actually means — not by rule, but by collective calibration. The standard evolves with you.

What to Send Our Way

Five things.
No resume needed.

Tell us who you are

Where you're from. How music speaks to you. Why you care. Short or long — whatever feels true.

Explain how you recognize intention

In your own words — what tells you that a track is intentional? What tells you it isn't? The question is more useful than the answer.

Send us 5–10 tracks

Music that you feel carries deep intention. Any genre, any tempo. Optional: tell us what each one does to you.

If you're a DJ or producer — share your own

A set or a track you made, and why you feel it carries intention. Not to be evaluated — to be understood.

Anything else that helps us feel you

Voice message, video, poem, photograph, dance clip — whatever expresses your connection.
