# For artists: ring every fan the moment your SoundCloud track drops Fans and creators · https://lfg.gm/soundcloud-artist-drop-alarm · Updated 2026-11-06 If you release music on SoundCloud, make a public drop alarm on your own profile in LFG Alarm and put its link in your bio, stories and pinned posts. Every fan who taps it joins the alarm, and the moment your track goes live, their phones ring together. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone, Android and lfg.gm in a browser. Nothing changes on SoundCloud: you publish as normal, and Rocco, the cat who does the watching in LFG Alarm, notices within about a minute. ## Release day, felt all at once You've told your fans it's coming. Some of them will see the post. Most will catch it days later, if the feed shows it to them at all, and the first hour, when a release has the most energy, goes by quietly. A drop alarm turns your release into a moment your fans share. Everyone who signed up rings at the same second, hears it together, and the group chats light up while it's still new. It's the closest thing to a listening party that happens on every fan's phone at once. ## Set it up 1. **Ask Rocco for a drop alarm on your profile,** or paste your SoundCloud profile link. 2. **Pick your profile** from the artists Rocco shows you. Nothing is made until you choose. 3. **Choose what counts.** Any new track, or only an album or EP if you're building up to a bigger release. You can narrow it in your own words too, for example "only the remix". 4. **Make it public,** so anyone with the link can join. 5. **Write your Keeper's note** (more on that below) and copy the alarm's link. It looks like `lfg.gm/a/`. ## Where to put the link Think of the link as a "ring me when it drops" sign-up. Fans tap it, join in the LFG Alarm app, and wait with you. - **Your bio,** on SoundCloud, Instagram, TikTok and X, so new fans find it any time. - **Stories and a pinned post,** when you announce the release. - **Your Discord, newsletter or fan chat,** where your closest fans already are. Say why in the same breath. "Tap this and your phone rings the second the track is out" gets more taps than a bare link. ## Your words on every fan's alarm The Keeper's note is a message you, the person who made the alarm, pin on it. It shows under the trigger, the line that says what the alarm is waiting for, so every fan who opens the alarm reads it. Use it the way you'd use a caption: - "Two years on this one. Turn it up. Thank you for waiting." - "Out at midnight. Headphones on, lights off." - "The remix is for the people who were at the last show." ## What your fans get - **Their choice of how loud.** Each fan picks **Horn on** (their phone rings), **Notify** (a quiet notification) or **Quiet** (nothing goes off, and it waits in their Daily drop). - **Your track, credited.** The ring screen shows your cover, and **Play the drop** plays the track right in the app, credited to you and linked to your track on SoundCloud. - **A second chance.** Anyone who slept through it can play it from the Daily drop, the tab the app opens on. The alarm also shows how many fans are riding, which means how many have joined and are waiting. It's a live count you can screenshot and post as release day gets closer. ## How it fits your release - **Upload as you always do.** The alarm rings when the track is public on your profile, whether you upload it that minute or make a private track public. - **It's yours, but fans can make their own.** Anyone can set a drop alarm on any artist. Yours is the one with your note on it, so post it before fans go looking. - **It costs no credits.** It doesn't count against your plan, the same as an alarm for a YouTube channel. ## Ask your AI to set it up If you use an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT with the LFG Alarm connector, it can make the alarm and hand you the link. **Try this.** Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or another AI agent that has the LFG Alarm connector (https://mcp.lfg.gm), not into the LFG Alarm app. The person needs the LFG Alarm app on their phone. > Make me a public SoundCloud drop alarm on my own profile, [your SoundCloud link], so my fans' phones ring the moment my next track is out. Give me the link to put in my bio. Why it works: It names your profile, says who it's for and asks for the link back, which is the one thing you need to share. Connect LFG Alarm to your AI app first: see [AI agents](https://lfg.gm/agents). ## Common mistakes - **Keeping it friends-only.** A friends alarm is for people you know and never shows in Discover, where public alarms can be found. For fans, make it public. - **Posting the link on release day.** Give fans days to join. The alarm can only ring phones that joined. - **Leaving the note empty.** The note is the only part of the alarm in your own words. Use it. ## Questions ### Do I need to do anything on SoundCloud? No. Publish as normal. Rocco reads your profile about once a minute and the alarm rings when the new track is public. ### Will my track be the ring? No. LFG's sound rings, so it's loud on every phone. Your track plays when a fan taps **Play the drop**, streamed from SoundCloud and credited to you. ### What do fans need? The LFG Alarm app on their phone, or lfg.gm in a browser. Tapping your link shows them how to join. ### Can a label or fan page do this? Yes. Anyone can make a public drop alarm on a SoundCloud profile. If you run several profiles, make one alarm for each. ## Sources and further reading - [How to get an alarm when an artist drops new music on SoundCloud](https://lfg.gm/soundcloud-new-release-alarm) - [How to ring your friends together when your favourite artist drops](https://lfg.gm/soundcloud-drop-alarm-with-friends) - [Sharing and reach: private, friends and public alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/sharing-and-reach) - [Discover: finding public alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/discover) - [SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com) LFG Alarm is not affiliated with SoundCloud. ## Keep exploring - [KST to your time: convert a Seoul drop and set the alarm](https://lfg.gm/kst-to-my-time.md): Convert any Seoul drop time to yours and ring the whole fan chat at once. - [How to get an alarm when someone posts on X](https://lfg.gm/alarm-when-someone-posts.md): Describe the post you are waiting for; Rocco rings you when it lands. - [Ticket drop alerts, sneaker drop alerts and restock alerts that ring](https://lfg.gm/drop-and-restock-alerts.md): Ring your phone, and your whole group’s, before a ticket on-sale or sneaker release, when a brand posts the announcement, or when your restock monitor fires. - [How creators can catch a trend before it peaks](https://lfg.gm/creator-trend-alarms.md): Rocco watches X, YouTube and Twitch, and Zapier or Make rings you only when a topic shows up across several sources, so you make the reaction video first. - [How to get an alarm when an artist drops new music on SoundCloud](https://lfg.gm/soundcloud-new-release-alarm.md): Tell Rocco the artist or paste their SoundCloud link, and he rings you the minute a new track or album goes up, ready to play in SoundCloud’s own player. - [How to ring your friends together when your favourite artist drops](https://lfg.gm/soundcloud-drop-alarm-with-friends.md): Share one SoundCloud drop alarm in the group chat, and everyone riding rings in the same moment the new track goes live, each on Horn on, Notify or Quiet. ## About LFG Alarm LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone, iPad and Android.
