| # | Target | Why it's top | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bandcamp Daily | The reissue/vinyl relaunch lives on Bandcamp; Daily runs recurring jungle/D&B + "best jungle labels" features. Highest editorial ROI. | Editorial submission form; pitch the label story ~8wks ahead to the writer who covers jungle |
| 2 | Charlie Tee — BBC R1/1Xtra D&B Show (DNB60 slot) | The only national-scale outlet. A label-showcase guest mix reaches more than every niche station combined + confers legitimacy. | BBC Introducing upload + pitch DNB60 via her socials/management |
| 3 | SUNANDBASS (Sardinia festival) | The definitive atmospheric/liquid D&B destination week — precisely Vibez's crowd. Signals the relaunch to exactly the right people. | sunandbass.net booking/contact — Sept window is time-sensitive |

| 5 | Good Looking (LTJ Bukem) / Blu Mar Ten | For a relaunch, credibility comes from the founders. A co-sign / reissue-partner conversation authenticates Vibez as paid promo never could. | Relationship approach via label/artist channels — not a cold demo |
